“Taiwan Blue Magpie Tea”/ “Leopard Cat Rice” is a social enterprise committed to the "River Basin Recovery” contract-farming plan. "River Basin Recovery" is a model of agricultural and commercial integration, elevating the ecosystem to a brand together with local farmers. The key is to integration the whole catchment area. We are committed to the ''River Basin Recovery" strategy for the sake of "pesticide-free watershed" through environmentally friendly agriculture. To promote the coexistence of ecology and agronomy, we produce various tea products in Pinling. Those are called "Taiwan Blue Magpie Tea". All of them rely on a 100% pesticide and fertilizer free growing method. Under the concept of eco-friendly agriculture, we put all our "pesticide-free watershed" social enterprise efforts into promoting a beneficial coexistence of the leopard lats’ habitat and agronomy. To achieve this, the expansion of the habitat is a core element of our overall plan. By relying on environmental friendliness in farming, rather than pesticides or chemical fertilizers, we now grow the "Leopard Cat Rice".
