Coffee above the Pingtung plain
Cool nights, a sold-out Geisha, and one road that decides everything.
The ridge
Taiwu sits high enough to be cool at night while the plain below is still hot, and that difference does most of the work in the cup.
There are only a handful of farms, and the best lots are usually sold before they are milled.
The best lots are not hard to find. They are hard to reach.
Getting there
One road, steep and narrow, with no lighting and no shoulder. Drivers who are not confident should not attempt it after rain.
Ask the farm to meet you at the bottom; most will, and it costs less than a repair.
