- Taiwan Tea Corporation (2913.TW), founded in 1899 and headquartered in Hsinchu City, Taiwan, primarily engages in the production, cultivation, and sale of authentic Taiwanese tea products from its own organic and naturally farmed plantations across northern, central, and southern Taiwan; it also trades imported goods including food, wine, chemical products, and beverages, operates leisure tourism and recreational tea farming experiences, manages land assets through leasing and development, and provides construction engineering services such as interior decoration, curtain wall works, compartment installations, painting, flooring, and stone works. The company operates through segments encompassing goods trading with a focus on tea and agricultural products, asset management, department store and agency services for self-owned tea brands alongside overseas beer and wine, and biotechnology research in agricultural technologies, seedlings, and flowers, primarily serving domestic markets in Taiwan with select international reach in Asia, the Americas, and Europe. Formerly known as Mitsui & Co., Ltd., it lists on the Taiwan Stock Exchange and maintains stringent quality certifications including ISO22000, HACCP, and SGS testing for food safety and traceability; under Chairman Ching-Yuan Wu, it modernizes operations by embracing agritourism, renewable energy initiatives, and systematic recultivation of tea gardens since establishing Taiwan's first organic-certified Assam tea area in 2003. Recent developments include a significant stake acquisition by Shan Young Assets Management Co., Ltd. for approximately TWD 290 million in December 2022, alongside robust asset segment revenue growth to TWD 83.53 million in 2024 from land leasing and swaps, leadership appointments such as CEO Ching Yuan Wu in 2022, and ongoing investments in tea factory automation, new irrigation systems, and mechanical harvesting at facilities like Pingtung Laopi Farm to enhance output and upgrade the tea industry.
