The Hakka people in Miaoli County are known for their warm hospitality. Whether for weddings and celebrations or visiting friends and relatives, they always serve a cup of Lei cha.

In this cup of Lei cha, flavors range from savory to sweet and even spicy, each different, yet together they embody the shared taste of home across the two sides of the strait.

In this episode, we follow Andy Boreham, CGTN stringer from New Zealand, to Miaoli to experience the making of Lei cha and learn about this shared history.
