Coffee growing has an interesting history in the NANTOU area, especially around Guoxing township. Here, coffee cultivation was greatly encouraged by government investment following the disruptive “921” earthquake of 1999. Research had shown that many of the crops grown before in this area had caused significant soil erosion leading to increased danger of landslides in this earthquake prone area. One of the crops suggested as an improvement in sustainability was coffee.
Many of the farms in the area either converted existing crops to coffee or planted new farms on vacant lands. The owner of this farm worked in a unrelated industry but wanted to become more ecologically involved - he purchased some land, planted coffee trees in the early 2000s and began production ten years later. Such has been his success that he was driven to focus his attention completely on his coffee investments as the fame of his product grew.
His products are regularly entered into local competitions where blind tasting confirms his successful efforts. We prefer a lighter roast for these beans to fully realise the complex and fruit notes that can be achieved.

A Symphony in a Cup

I’ve tried specialty coffees from all over the world, but this coffee is in a league of its own. From the moment I opened the bag, the aroma was intoxicating—bright floral notes mingled with hints of caramel. Brewed as a pour-over, it delivered a silky body with layers of citrus, and a gentle nutty finish. It’s like a sunrise in the Taiwanese mountains captured in every sip. Absolutely exquisite—this is pure joy!

Little Disappointed

Honestly, I wanted to love these beans more than I did. The packaging is gorgeous and the story behind Taiwanese coffee is fascinating. But when I brewed it up, the flavor seemed a bit flat — not bad, just not super memorable.

Good Morning

These beans are fantastic. I ordered the Guoxing roast from DOU and it’s become my new favourite for my daily pour-over. Smooth, a touch of berry sweetness, and super clean. Shipping was quick, packaging beautiful. Couldn’t ask for more.

Who knew Taiwan grew such amazing coffee?! 🌿☕ Just tried the Guoxing beans from @dou_taiwan and I’m blown away — rich cocoa, warm spice, and a smooth, buttery finish. New fave morning ritual.

I randomly found DOU Taiwan Coffee while scrolling Instagram and decided to try it out. Best decision ever! I ordered the Guoxing beans and they smelled amazing right out of the bag. Brewed with my V60 and got a really clean, nutty, sweet cup. Not too bitter, just smooth and flavourful. Definitely ordering again — plus, love that it’s from Taiwan 🇹🇼.
