＃Do you still remember why you chose a manual coffee grinder?

＊I drink only one or two cups a day and enjoy grinding with a manual grinder since it makes an aroma while grinding and makes me feel a sense of ritual.

＊I hope to use it at home since it takes up less space and is easy to clean without any tool. It produces fewer fines and doesn’t waste too many coffee beans.

＊I wanna go camping or go on a business trip with it since it doesn’t need electricity and I’m able to share coffee with friends easily.

＊I’m picky with the flavor. Since it is portable, I’m able to make a cup of fresh coffee anytime anywhere.

We believe everyone has their own reason for choosing a manual grinder.

PART 02 - Tai-FUN - Fun times in Tainan! - a bunch of fun places to experience Tainan

I love good food, but between meals it’s not a bad idea to do something else to spend your time. Today I will introduce you to a few very interesting places that you can experience, learn and spend quality time. Are you ready? Let’s go!

大鋤花間咖啡生態農場 (Dachu Coffee Estate)
If you know me, you know I love coffee. I drink 3 cups of coffee per day. The moment I found out I am going to visit a real coffee plantation I was so thrilled. And, I was right. The place is Dongshan in the beautiful mountains of Tainan. Once you arrive you are surrounded by coffee trees. What can you do here? Of course drink some delicious, fresh coffee. But also there are other things to do: you can learn about coffee planting, processing and roasting methods. What’s more - the owner took us on a ride to the top of the hill where his field is, and the view was truly breath-taking. I took some photos so you can see it but nothing could beat the experience of seeing it with your own eyes. Plus, well, I am not sure if you know ( I didn’t know that before) you can eat coffee straight from the tree there. How interesting! They also serve hot pot and other dishes. It is a place where you can escape from the city with your family and friends.

奇美食品幸福工廠 (Chimei Happiness Factory
Chimei is a well-known Taiwanese food supplier. Going to their museum is quite an experience. I think lots of kids would love to learn how to make traditional Taiwanese foods (such as dumplings or steamed buns). You can also play some interactive games and learn about food safety. But the real highlight is the DIY Pineapple Cake Baking experience - yes, you can make a famous pineapple cake with your own hands, and later take a box home! (that’s not included in the normal ticket). Apart from those two, you can find a coffee shop, bakery, restaurant, and a whole lot of Chimei foods ready to take with you (pineapple cakes, frozen buns and so on). I am sure if you come with younger ones you will have a great visit.

銀器飄香工坊 (Tainan Silver Jewelry & Accessories Workshop)
Taiwan has a long and rich tradition of silver making. I found it really thrilling when the art of making jewelry is mixed with Chinese traditions and beliefs - dragons, buddha and tao symbols, and way more. Lots of them seem to be quite a good investment because they are meant to help you make more money :) Besides, The owner is a really interesting and passionate person who will happily explain to you about the silver making process. They also provide repair and cleaning services.

愛享家寵物樂活館 (IKNOWPETSHOP)
If you are an animal lover, you should definitely check it out. It’s a full service place for your pets (even if you don’t have one - you can adopt one right on the spot). The place offers an animal swimming pool, showers, hotels and a wide variety of animal products and snacks. And the puppies and cats there - please be careful - they may melt your heart in a split second!

Feel free to ask any questions that you have, feel free to share and tag friends that haven’t been to Tainan before or recently, and need to go there with you and… and…. and make sure you stay tuned because there are more stories coming soon!

【眼垢多多】醒來睜不開眼睛！

#星期三問題多多
#去酒樓你飲菊花茶嗎？
#初春是木棉花盛開的季節

眼屎多因為火氣大？

無眼睇：EC，早上起身時，眼垢總是多得似漿糊般封住雙眼，要很用力才能打開，為什麼呢？
EC：在中醫角度來說，眼垢過多是由於體內有熱所致所，其中上班一族由於經常熬夜晚睡、出街應酬大魚大肉、喝酒、每天數杯提神咖啡，所以特別容易有眼垢。如果生活上不能作出微調，就要向飲食著手，例如少吃生冷、辛辣、煙、酒、濃茶咖啡等刺激性及重口味食物。當然，如眼垢多兼伴有雙眼通紅、痕癢或赤痛，則要排除是否眼睛發炎，要儘快求醫較穩妥。

除眼垢茶療
雞蛋花木棉花菊花茶（一人分量）
材料：雞蛋花10克、木棉花6克、菊花6克
做法：
1. 熱水焗約15分鐘至花香味透出即可。
2. 此茶能反覆沖泡至味淡，建議一星期飲用兩至三天，連續兩星期為一個療程。
功效：清肝明目、清熱化濕。可紓緩多眼垢、目赤眼乾、小便赤短及偏黃等濕熱症狀。

Heat in body causes eye booger?
EC, when I wake up in the morning, there’s so much eye booger that basically glue my eyes shut, why is that?
From Chinese medicine perspective, eye discharge is usually due to heat in the body. Working people frequently have late nights, have to entertain with heavy meals and alcohol, and usually have multiple cups of coffee each day, so they are prone to eye discharge. If you cannot make adjustments in your lifestyle, then you need to look into your dietary intake. Try to have less cold/raw and spicy things, avoid alcohol, smoking, and strong coffee or heavy-flavored foods. If your eye discharge is accompanied by redness, itch or pain in the both eyes, then you should see a doctor to ensure its not eye infection.
Tea remedy for eye discharge
Chrysanthemum tea with Plumeria and Kapok (for one)
Ingredients: 10g plumeria, 6g kapok, 6g chrysanthemum
Preparation:
1. Steep in hot water for 15 minutes until aroma develops
2. This tea can be rebrewed until its flavor weakens. For best results, drink for two weeks as a course and have it 2-3 days each week.
Effects: clears liver heat and improve eyesight, clears heat and dispels dampness. Alleviates symptoms of eye discharge, red and dry eyes, scantily and yellowish urination.
