Feeling18 Chocolate Workshop / Chocolate Factory
Located in Puli, Nantou, Feeling18 Chocolate Workshop is a sweet destination that visitors simply must not miss. The shop’s name comes from chocolate’s optimal storage temperature—18°C—symbolizing the brand’s dedication to quality. Stepping inside feels like entering a world where it is perpetually autumn, with the air filled with the rich aroma of cacao.
The workshop’s signature item is its melt-in-your-mouth nama chocolate. Made with premium ingredients from France and Belgium, it is matured for 24 hours, lightly dusted with cocoa powder, and hand-cut into boxes. To preserve its best flavor, each box is sold only within four days of production, a testament to the brand’s insistence on freshness and quality. When handing over the chocolates, staff thoughtfully include cooling packs to ensure that travelers bring home sweets with the perfect texture and taste.
Beyond the classic nama chocolate, Feeling18 also offers its “Hidden Heart Series,” which creatively blends Taiwanese local ingredients into chocolate. Flavors include Assam black tea from Sun Moon Lake, organic roses from Puli, tangy mulberry red yeast vinegar, and even prickly ash leaves with their distinctive fragrance. These combinations not only create astonishingly unique Taiwanese flavors but also allow visitors to savor sweets rich in stories and cultural depth.
