Not only beautiful but also delicious, recently in Yunlin and Chiayi regions, there has emerged a dreamy-hued fruit tea drink that has driven girls wild. Among them, Kangdi Xinsy, with its range of homemade all-natural fruit and floral teas and fresh milk beverages, along with high-quality bottles featuring pastel hues as dreamy as macarons, has quickly become a new favorite on IG.

The rising star Kangdi Xinsy,was created by three individuals—Hong Xiangting, Chen Yufang, and Hong Mengci—with an average age of 23. Hong Xiangting, who graduated from a design-related major, said that Kangdi was conceived during their graduation project. They had also set up stalls in the cultural and creative parks of Hualien and Songshan, and now, due to graduation and the fact that the other two partners are studying in Yunlin and Chiayi cities and counties, they chose to establish their central kitchen here.

The trio, who were already friends, relied on the support of family and friends during their graduation project. They divided the work according to their specialties: Hong Xiangting and Chen Yufang, who have design backgrounds, handled the product packaging and marketing; Hong Mengci, who studied hospitality, took care of the beverages; and the three took turns handling customer service for orders. Although everyone had their own roles, they also collaborated closely together.

Currently, Kangdi has launched nine beverages, divided into rich fresh milk flavors and fruit and floral tea flavors. The rich fresh milk flavors include Black Sugar Fresh Milk with the taste of hand-roasted black sugar and caramel sweetness, Earl Grey Latte with creamy milk and aromatic tea, Cocoa Oolong with an intense cocoa aroma, Uji Matcha Milk that delivers a strong matcha and fresh milk flavor, and Nadar Blue Strong with a lavender-floral fresh milk taste.

The natural fruit and floral tea flavors include Lemon Tart with a light lemon fragrance, Crème with a subtle rose floral sweetness, Blue Eyes with the aroma of osmanthus, and Apple Tree, which has a mildly sweet and sour taste. The two categories are priced at NT$60 and NT$50 respectively.

Hong Xiangting said that because many pineapples are grown in Yunlin, they are currently developing related beverages, hoping to offer customers more choices and refreshing, sweet drinks to enjoy during the upcoming summer.

Currently only offering delivery and home delivery, Kangdi insists on making everything fresh daily. Even for home deliveries, they ensure arrival by the next day at the latest, so customers can enjoy the fresh original flavors without leaving their homes.

From the initial idea during their graduation project to now owning a nearly 30-ping central kitchen built by the three of them, in less than a year, Kangdi has achieved the impressive feat of selling hundreds of bottles per day. Hong Xiangting said they haven’t thought about making money yet, “We just hope Kangdi can be sustainably operated” and loved by everyone.
