*** ABOUT YIFANG***

Yi-Fang married a young farmer in Taiwan. Yi-Fang family has been planting pineapples for three generations, working long days to make a living. One day, Grandma Yi-Fang turned the overripe pineapples into a wonderful homemade jam. She invented the secret recipe behind our famous drink, the YiFang Fruit Tea, by adding this preserved pineapple jam to the tea she often served her husband. We named the company, and our most sought-after drink, in her honour.?

With every sip, we strive to bring you the warmth and nostalgia of early-Taiwanese hospitality. We infuse each cup of tea with seasonal fruits and local ingredients, never using concentrated juice or artificial flavours. This way, we capture the same taste and experience that Yi Fang created all those years ago.

The number of stores is growing and to keep up with our customer demand, we need special team members, just like you, to join us now, to grow with us and to deliver our quality drinks to our growing customer base and beyond.
