Lecture Summary:

From a single tea leaf to a cup of tea, it is both a long and romantic journey. Established in 1926, the Daxi Old Tea Factory witnessed the golden era of Formosa Tea as it sailed from Daxi Port to Dadaocheng and onward to the world. Today, although the waterways have faded, the fragrance of tea endures, and the century-old factory amidst the mountains once again reveals its glory.
