Coffee is the second commodity traded in the world
coffee and a lot people drink it every day. America is the one of biggest
coffee importer, and my country, Indonesia in the third exporter. However, here
in Taiwan we also be able to find some coffee plantation areas. One of the
places that I ever visited is coffee plantation located in Malipu.
This
coffee area located in the mountain nearby Malipu, around 1 hours by car. In
this area they are planting Arabica coffee. Arabica coffee has a better taste
than Robusta, so that the price more expensive.
In
this place you can be able to do vacation and study more about coffee. The
owner is very kind and will tell you anything about their coffee cultivation. Beside
the coffee tree, they also planting betel, or in Taiwan they call it pinlang,
Taiwanese like to eat betel nut. So, when the coffee still not harvest yet,
they can have another income from harvest betel nut.
This
place has other beautiful scenery. If you come by car you will see much kind of
fruits on the way. You can be able to see all scenery of Taichung city. They
also has water fall. The water fall still nature, so if you like an adventure,
come and try new experience here. However, it will be better if you came when
summer, because it have to be very cold in winter season, and a little bit
dangerous when rainy. ^___^
