沐浴於山海的有機咖啡莊園
台灣·花蓮縣·秀林鄉
Branaw（重光）意為「肥沃之地」，重光部落就位於秀林南境文蘭村，其人口組成多為太魯閣族，盛產生薑、山蘇、桂竹筍、苦茶等經濟作物，近年來咖啡成為新興產業，並成立特用作物咖啡產銷班，其中泥妲咖啡表現亮眼，多次榮獲國內各項生豆競賽殊榮。
「泥妲」(Nita)在太魯閣族語裡是「我們」的意思，莊園主戴豐秋醫師，期望透過咖啡栽植提供家鄉的族人工作機會，與族人一起種出屬於自己的咖啡、開展部落的未來。廣大的咖啡園區，遠眺可看見花東縱谷、鯉魚潭與太平洋，辛勤於故鄉風土耕耘的咖啡農，期望透過有機種植與友善農法，讓花蓮山海孕育出的咖啡，遠渡重洋，飄香國際。
Alang Branaw is located in Wenlan Village, which is at the southern part of Xiulin Township in Hualien County. The tribe is predominantly made up of the indigenous Truku people, and as we can interpret from the name Branaw (chóngguāng), which means “fertile land”, it is known for its rich agricultural heritage, producing crops like ginger, bird’s nest fern, Makino bamboo shoots, and tea oil camellia. Coffee has emerged here as a new industry in recent years, and a dedicated agricultural production and marketing group focusing on the cultivation of specialty coffee was formed. Among these, Nita Café has garnered significant attention, winning multiple awards in green coffee evaluations.
“Nita,” meaning “we” in the Truku language, reflects the communal spirit that defines the coffee farm. Dr. Dai Feng-Qiu, the owner of the farm, hopes to provide employment and economic opportunities for his fellow tribe members through coffee, working together to grow coffee that belongs to “us.” The panoramic coffee farm offers views of the East Rift Valley, Carp Lake, and the Pacific Ocean, while the diligent coffee farmers cultivate their land through organic and eco-friendly farming practices. They aim to bring forth and promote to the world an aromatic and flavorful coffee that is nurtured by the mountains and seas of Hualien.
