Taiwan's Biggest Tea Festival 2025
Taiwan's Nantou Global Tea Expo is an annual event that happens around Taiwan's National Day on 10/10. The event has varied in length over the last 14 years, but typically spans over 9 days — from Saturday through the following Sunday. It's a massive occasion, with hundreds of vendors, and several hundred thousand visitors! There are dozens of activities to attend and partake in, along with endless cups of tea being served!

Normal Shipping Method to U.S. Suspended, In Search Of Options...
We just want to keep our people in the loop, and briefly explain our current situation with shipments to the US from Taiwan.

Mid-Autumn Festival Gathering: Our Favorite Holiday Custom
Mid-Autumn Festival is the second biggest cultural holiday of the year in Taiwan. This year was a bit of a subdued occasion, as it fell on a Tuesday, and Monday was a work day. So the festivities were much less apparent this year. We missed seeing the ubiquitous family barbecues popping up in front yards everywhere. So we called our dear friends on Monday and asked if they were up for a visit and a barbecue on Tuesday. They said "Of course!".
