He has a simple and straightforward goal, which is to grow the world-famous coffee variety, Geisha, in a refined environment. He wants to dedicate all his efforts to creating the coffee with the best sensory taste and most competitive advantage. He wishes to make profits while harvesting good coffee.

Currently, the farm is solely growing Geisha. Tseng tries to create the most original flavor of Geisha through washed processing. "Royal Bean Geisha Estate" has its own coffee processing plant; therefore, he is so confident of his own beans because he can maintain stable quality.
