Dongshan 東山

Dongshan sits low and warm, closer to the plain than the mountain. Coffee grows here next to longan and betel palm, and the harvest starts earlier than anywhere else on this list.

The cup is softer and rounder than Alishan's — less acidity, more body — and the prices are the most reasonable on the island.
