In 2009, Typhoon Morakot swept across Taiwan, including Ruifeng Village in Chiayi – the hometown of Ye Youzhen from Mantang Tea. At that time, Youzhen harbored the thought, "I hope to do something for my hometown." After the typhoon, Youzhen returned to her hometown, contemplating how to make more people aware of Ruifeng Village and allow tea lovers to savor the unique taste of Ruifeng tea. Therefore, in 2014, Youzhen and her husband's sister, Xingyuan, opened a store in Chiayi City under the brand "Mantang Tea," selling fine teas from the Alishan tea series – Ruifeng Village. The teas sold in the store, which have repeatedly won awards in domestic and international tea competitions, are all from her hometown's tea gardens. The tea leaves are meticulously selected and inspected by Youzhen, hoping that customers and travelers who visit the store can understand the diverse aspects of Alishan tea through tasting and introductions to the origin. Additionally, the store provides brewing guides in Chinese, English, and Japanese, teaching everyone how to easily brew good tea. The youthful and charming packaging, along with bilingual introduction services, makes it the premier destination for purchasing Alishan tea, both domestically and internationally. In addition to selling high-quality tea products, Mantang also collaborates with the Ruifeng community to organize rural experience activities from time to time, allowing consumers to personally visit the hometown of award-winning tea and experience the intricate processes of tea picking, roasting, rolling, and processing, amidst serene bamboo forests.
