What a farm visit actually costs
Tasting fees, taxi fares, and the bag you will feel obliged to buy.
The numbers
A tasting is usually NT$200–400, sometimes waived if you buy beans. A return taxi from the nearest town runs NT$600–1,200.
Budget NT$1,500 for a half day, including a 200-gram bag, and you will not be surprised at the end.
The visit is cheap. Getting there is the expense.
What is not included
Farms rarely have card readers, toilets, or anywhere to sit out of the rain. None of that is a complaint; it is a packing list.
If a farm offers lunch, take it. It is usually the best meal within an hour of the trees.
