The factory's exterior is simple and stylish, with a clean and bright interior design that injects new vitality into the local century-old tea industry. Inside, to help the public better understand the characteristics of Miaoli's tea culture, old tea production tools are displayed, adding a strong retro feel. The collection of hundreds of tea cans inside forms an impressive wall, transforming Taiwanese tea into fashionable luxury goods. Here, visitors can sit down and enjoy authentic tea picker's bento boxes and various refreshing cold-brewed teas. Stepping out of the factory leads to the tranquil scenery of local tea gardens, where you can not only experience the fun of tea picking and DIY tea making but also become a tea master for a day. Wearing a farmer's hat, a Hakka floral headscarf, and a bamboo tea basket, you can personally pick the legendary "one bud and two leaves." If you're lucky, you might even spot the small green leafhopper! After picking the tea leaves, follow the tea-making steps to experience wilting, pan-firing, rolling, breaking, drying, trimming, and packaging, creating your own tea to take home for personal use or to share.
