The 8th annual Taiwan Coffee Festival will be taking place at Gukeng Township in Yunlin County starting this coming Saturday. The one-month event will feature all the best coffee manufacturers in the area, along with many activities, including competitions for the pros and the kids.

This Taiwan Coffee Festival actually started in October 2003, and now, it's the 8th year.

Gukeng coffee, which all has the label of high quality, is from Gukeng Township in order to show that every bean is chosen carefully.

Even though the labels have not yet been certified by the officials, the local authority, Lin Huiru said that the application procedure is already underway.

This year's celebration, other than the coffee competition, there is also coffee brewing competition for kids to cultivate a more professional roasting and brewing technique among the youth and spread the knowledge among the public.

Other than tasting high-quality coffee, there are many other activities and cultural events to participate at the festival, which will take place at three areas in Gukeng Township, including Gukeng Green Tunnel, Huashan Rest Area, and Hobaoshan.

For those coffee lovers, this is an event not to be missed.
