Initially, Lin shipped mainland tea and Taiwanese-style tea back to Taiwan for resale. But getting the tea through customs was troublesome and time-consuming, typically taking one to two months. When the tea eventually arrived in Taiwan, it was no longer fresh and its mouthfeel had suffered.
初期曾進來還將中國茶和台式茶輾轉運回台灣賣，但報關手續麻煩又曠日廢時，歷經一、二個月，新茶早已變老茶，口感也差了。
