Chef Wei Zhenglin, deeply enchanted by the flavors of vanilla beans, has devoted significant effort to studying the history and uses of vanilla beans. Through technology transfer from the Taoyuan Agricultural Research Institute, he began cultivating vanilla plants (Vanilla planifolia) and adopted a new identity as a "vanilla farmer." He founded the brand "Vanilla Knight," focusing not only on creating exquisite desserts but also on promoting the production of premium vanilla beans in Taiwan. Vanilla Knight has become Taiwan's first dessert shop to own a vanilla plantation.
