Our Story
“Quality at Okao Estates is a family endeavor. Our name, Okao, is a tribute to the native Taiwanese black dogs that have been our loyal companions and farm guardians for generations. Our story is written by three generations working side-by-side: from the careful planting of coffee seedlings by our founder, to the expert pruning techniques passed down by our elders, and the precise stewardship of our high-mountain tea farms. We believe that hand-picked excellence is only possible through this unique partnership—a commitment to craft that spans our entire family.”
