生元高山茶業

Shengyuan High Mountain Tea Farm

Locations

Not long after arriving in Taiwan I was invited on a road trip to visit a tea farm in Meishan, Chiayi, one of the primary sources of Alishan high mountain tea. We drove from Taipei by way of Chiayi City and spent the afternoon at Shengyuan High Mountain Tea Farm (生元高山茶業) in the Taixing Community (太興社區) area of the distict. Here are some photos from the trip!

This project was founded in the early 2010s and has evolved into a sort of personal Wikipedia of places that interest me (and often the photographs I’ve taken there).
