Sponsored and organized by the Nantou Branch of the Rural Development and Soil and Water Conservation Agency, the activity promoted resource recycling and environmental awareness through hands-on participation.
The festival peaked on June 7th with a series of exciting activities. The morning featured a French Pastry x Champion Coffee tasting experience, followed in the afternoon by the Thousands People Pour-Over Coffee activity and the eagerly anticipated 2025 Nantou County Coffee Evaluation, showcasing flavor craftsmanship and professional excellence.
