First Smart Tea Garden in Taiwan
We set up 6 micro-weather station and soil moisture sensor to monitor the parameters of plant growth, to analyze the best condition for cultivation.
Micro-weather management
Applying precision irrigation technology developed by Netafim. With 14,000 drip holes per hectare covering over 94% of planting area, we managed to save 70% of irrigation water and 50% of fertilizer.
Precision irrigation
We applied 3 platforms to collect big data: 1) Smart Agri-management Platform(SAMP) for product traceability; 2) Dispatching App to monitor productivity of each production unit; and 3) Plant doctor App to monitor the entire process of cultivation.
Big data management
We started our organic plantation in 2003. TTC pledged to produce our tea leaf at the highest safety and highest quality standard. We also use biodegradable bioplastic for our product packaging.
