Introduction

It might be easy to have a cup of good coffee, but it’s not so easy to have world champion coffee. Songyue Coffee Manor is located at an altitude of 1,200 meters in the mountain area in Yunlin. Surrounded by mountains, the stone plates in front of Sanheyuan tells nostalgic stories. It is hard to imagine that this is an outdoor café. With a coffee farm underneath, it is only a blink from farm to table. However, it took 21 years for the owner, Kuo Chang-Sheng, aged 60, to complete his journey. He not only plants coffee trees in higher places, but lifts Taiwan coffee to a higher level in the world. His “Geisha” won 89.25 points by Q grader in the 2020 CQI (Coffee Quality Institute), and ranked number 1 in the world. Yet he is still modest, and says, “It’s not perfect yet. There is still room for improvement.”
Kuo Chang-Sheng mainly produces premium coffee. The 5 ha. wide coffee farm is covered with 10 kinds of coffee plants, including the largest coffee bean in the world, and special yellow bean. As well as “Geisha,” the commanders-in-chief fighting for him include Pacas, Typica, Villa Sarchi, and SL34.

In the guided tour, he rhymes off information about coffee beans in detail. He does not keep the production process a secret either. He meticulously explains his tips of how to make coffee with unique flavors, including throughout the washing, dry, and honey process, etc. No matter whether you are a gourmet connoisseur or a rookie, you need only nod and be impressed. Top 10 farmers of Taiwan in 2020, the king of high altitude coffee boasts an overwhelming confidence, rivalled only by his constant search for breakthroughs and self-improvement.

Characteristics

Coffee

Apart from the renowned geisha, Songyue coffee products and their varieties are generally not specified in the Arabica line. The coffee beans are treated via sun drying and washing, and the dripped coffee is sold separately.

Even when the product is out of stock overseas, Guo Zhangsheng still insists on having hands on experienced-based marketing, where bookings can be made for a commentary tour with a limit of 30 people, to promote field management and related processes. Coffee is brewed under meticulous calculation on temperature and water volume, all done to educate the masses on how to transform coffee beans into a cup of high grade coffee. Guo is not afraid that his skills would be stolen and replicated. He believes that when the overall standard is improved, that is the motivation to keep one on one’s toes.
