For Taiwanese people, every time they want to temporarily stay from the hustle and bustle of urban life, Hualien will be their ideal destination. Be it for tranquil woods or for shores of the clear blue sea, every corner of Hualien helps tourists relax and experience the comfy nature. Moreover, the fertile land and clean water make Hualien a unique region of agricultural products.

Chike Shan, famous for its vast sea of orange daylilies and spectacular huge stones, provides farmers with a misty environment suitable for tea and coffee plantations due to the perfect temperature, humidity, and altitude. As you take a sip, the coziness of Eastern Taiwan will extend from your taste buds to your heart. If you come to Hualien, don’t miss out on these 3 agricultural products from Chike Shan, Yuli Township.

【Coffee】

Imported from Indonesia, coffee beans have been successfully cultivated in the deep mountains of Hualien and by pure clean waterhead and waterfall. Drip coffee bags produced by 917 Gourmet Workshop won twice in the Hualien Specialty Coffee Competition. The coffee bags feature a smoothing texture and sweet aftertaste, making them provide the flavor of nature and nutrition. Despite the lower popularity among tourists to Hualien, coffee from Yuli Township will certainly stun you by its flavor.

【Honey Scented Black Tea】

Honey scented black tea is a notable regional tea product in Eastern Taiwan. What most people don’t know about the tea is that its production isn’t based on the breed of tea leaves; honey scented black tea is made after a certain insect, jacobiasca formosana, stings the leaves. After being stung and having liquid taken away by the insect, the tea leaves are disadvantageous for growing yet emit a strong aroma of honey after baking. What’s more, the appearance of jacobiasca formosana is unpredictable and uncontrollable. Only Chike Shan could offer a suitable environment for the insect and therefore can form a reciprocal relationship between tea farmers and insects. Ehotea produces triangle tea bags of honey scented black tea, portable for workers.

【Orange Daylily Tea】

Orange daylilies must be mentioned when it comes to Chike Shan. Besides functioning as a scenic plant for tourists to take photos, orange daylilies are highly valuable in terms of nuritions. When cooked, orange daylilies taste crunchy and discharge a slight floral smell. When used for making tea, the tea can help relax, both physically and mentally. Hence, Hua Dong Hong Xuan released Daylily Tea in the hope that the herbal tea can improve sleep quality. The production process has no chemical additives involved, to let consumers enjoy orange daylily tea of the best quality.

“Pusko New Life”, a brand for promoting the wonders of Yuli, launched the “Drink of Yuli Combo”, to let buyers enjoy the three excellent drinks at once even dwelling in other places.
