Microtek Tea Picking Experience｜Tongluo Tea Factory Cultural Tour
To integrate sustainability into everyday life, Microtek organized a one-day employee outing featuring a tea-picking activity in Tongluo, Miaoli. Through hands-on engagement with local tea culture, the Company put into practice its commitment to environmental friendliness, cultural preservation, and employee well-being.
Located in Tongluo Township, the Tongluo Tea Factory is surrounded by a pleasant natural environment with convenient access, making it an ideal venue that combines ecology, culture, and education. Guided by professional instructors, participants gained in-depth insights into the tea-making process, including tea picking, withering, pan-frying, rolling, and drying. Through firsthand experience, employees developed a deeper appreciation for agricultural labor and the value of natural resources.
The activity also featured meals designed around local cultural elements. Reusable fabric wraps were used as lunch packaging to reduce single-use waste, reinforcing the concepts of environmental protection and sustainable dining. The meals emphasized balanced nutrition with low oil and low salt, reflecting the Company’s attention to both health and environmental responsibility.
In addition, employees changed into traditional tea-picking attire and entered the tea fields to experience the harvesting process firsthand, learning about different tea plant varieties and cultivation methods. This immersive experience highlighted the importance of coexistence between agriculture and the land. At the end of the activity, participants packaged the tea they had helped produce and took it home, extending the memory of this meaningful connection with nature.
Carefully planned by the Employee Welfare Committee, the event not only encouraged interaction and relaxation among colleagues but also deepened understanding of sustainable living through cultural and environmental education, bringing positive energy and vitality to the workplace.
