Walk into Daxi Old Tea Factory to witness the golden years of tea

The Daxi Old Tea Factory was built in 1926, and it was called "Jiaobanshan Tea Farm" at that time. At that time, the tea industry was a sacred mountain for protecting the country and was known as "black gold". In order to meet the demand for export, the tea factory was very ingenious in space planning, and also had environmental protection ideas. After the war, the tea factory was changed to be operated by Taiwan Agriculture and Forestry Company and renamed "Daxi Tea Factory". In 1956, the tea factory suffered a fire. When Chiang Kai-shek came to the Jiaobanshan Pavilion, he found out why the tea factory had disappeared. , the tea factory was able to survive today. Since 2010, Taiwan's agriculture and forestry have been fully renovated and renovated, retaining the original backbone of the building, as well as the natural lighting and ventilation design, and the Daxi Tea Factory has been transformed into a sightseeing tea factory.

The scenes of the withering operation of the freshly harvested tea leaves in the play "Tea Gold" were all filmed on the second floor of the Daxi Old Tea Factory.

Tea gold stills

The weather was slightly cold last weekend. I came to the quiet Daxi Tea Factory to appreciate the quaint historical heritage and drink a cup of hot tea. I felt very comfortable. The tour guide of the tea factory is very good. It is recommended to participate. I have gained a lot of knowledge about tea making, and I also learned about the functionality of each part of the tea factory. I deeply feel that this tea factory is a building full of ingenuity.

The warehouse area is now changed to a still water pool. You can imagine how much storage capacity was in the heyday of the tea industry in the past; the mountain scenery around the tea factory is very beautiful.
The 90-degree blue window lattice is designed to promote withering efficiency
In the picture, you can see the 1959 withering device that used pillars to hang the net, and also the withering trough newly built in the 1980s. The various wooden seats on the 2F are all cypress, brought down from Lala Mountain.
Of course, when you come to the tea factory, you must have afternoon tea by the way (tickets can be used for consumption)
The tour guide turned on the electric fan in the withering area on the 2F and the Jackson kneading machine on the 1F to show us
The tour guide explained how the Dadaocheng master made evaluation of tea

The names of teas on the market are confusing, but the general principle is: green tea is not fermented, black tea is fully fermented , and the remaining tea that is not red and green tea can be classified as oolong tea (semi-fermented). The higher the degree of fermentation, the darker the color of the tea soup and the darker the color of the tea leaves. Pu-erh tea is a post-fermented tea. The tour guide said that when you go to the tea shop, you must show that you understand the door, and you must talk about "fermentation", not "raw and cooked", otherwise you will easily be regarded as a fat sheep XD

The tour guide said that there is no need to have the myth of the price of the origin to drink tea. Some people like green tea that is cold and cold with catechins, and some people like black tea that is gentle and contains tea polyphenols. The definition of good tea is different in everyone's mind. As long as you find the value in your heart, it is a good thing to support Taiwan tea a lot.

The tour guide talked for more than an hour, with a wealth of knowledge. For more details on tea making and tea tasting, please go to the blog to read . In the future, the tea factory will open the tea garden in Houshan after rectifying it, so that the public can experience the fun of tea picking. .
