Central foothills
Guoxing 國姓
A foothill belt between Puli and Taichung, mostly family plots of a few hundred trees.
Guoxing is a foothill belt nobody writes about. Plots run a few hundred trees, often interplanted with betel palm, and are milled at a shared facility.
The coffee is clean but rarely reaches the auction tier; most of it is sold green to roasters in Taichung.
