Any of these reasons is a wonderfully foolish yet romantic one. Join us through this holiday gift box to discover their stories and their connection to the land. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52505360691_9c1ea32655_c.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52505360706_3af951015a_c.jpg **■ Puli's Prized Pesticide-Free Water Bamboo Shoots** In Puli, mentioning Shou'an's water bamboo shoots is synonymous with quality assurance. At the end of the season, imperfectly shaped but equally delicious shoots are transformed into water bamboo shoot crisps, seasoned with just a pinch of salt. We invite you to taste the pure, sweet essence of Puli's water-irrigated water bamboo shoots. Not only are they free from pesticides and chemical fertilizers, but they also prioritize field biodiversity. Catfish help manage snails in the fields; dense wild grasses become nesting grounds for waterbirds; and of course, snakes and various insects thrive, creating a miniature ecosystem. __The fields have also received the Green Conservation Mark certification this year, recognized for the conservation of the endangered Black-faced Spoonbill.__ https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52505872770_e876e3449d_c.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52505838060_57149e39eb_c.jpg **■ Guarding a Century-Old Native Tea Garden in Sun Moon Lake** The new buds of Sun Moon Lake's native mountain tea, emerging in summer, have a distinct purplish-red hue and possess the deep, robust aroma of the soil. Since personally engaging in tea brewing and processing, __the tea garden has been pesticide-free for years and is currently in the organic transition phase__. Gently touching the tea bushes in the garden reveals the movement of leafhoppers, which only thrive in pure, unpolluted environments. The leaves nibbled by these leafhoppers develop a unique honeyed fragrance. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52505838065_68a4e03b6a_c.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52504875207_b79fc168a3_c.jpg **■ Guava, Available Year-Round, Our Most Familiar Fruit** Auntie Hui-chen at Zhencai Farm, at the foot of Niúmián Mountain in Puli, tends to her guavas like treasures. Having farmed alongside her father from a young age, she embraced organic farming early on. Even with a small guava orchard, she naturally cultivates according to friendly farming standards. Due to these eco-friendly methods, more time is spent on manual weeding, pest control, and pruning. Auntie Hui-chen is always busy in the orchard but enjoys making dried guava slices to share with friends and family during her farming breaks. __Dried guava slices, lightly flavored with licorice, a touch of salt, and sugar, then dehydrated, retain the healthy, original fruit flavor.__ https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52806003214_94fc62bb84_c.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52806151340_35c622c752_c.jpg **■ Pesticide-Free Chrysanthemum Tea, Safe for Every Sip** Qidian Farm practices grass cultivation, insisting on avoiding pesticides and herbicides.
