Jiang Family's Gold Leaf．Summer Banquet
In the 1950s, Jiang A-xin's Family in Beipu District gained international fame for its Oriental Beauty Tea. The Jiang Family built its business on tea and led the industry, becoming the most prominent Hakka family of the time. The Jiang Family's western-style mansion hosted political and business elites from various countries, showcasing the grandeur of a noble banquet. Today, we reinterpret the banquet style of the Gold Leaf Era with contemporary cuisine.
