The Four Key Principles

01
Sustainable Diet

Sustainable

Sustainable eating is not just a dietary choice but also a lifestyle attitude. It involves respecting the rhythms of nature, protecting the ecological environment, and caring for both human health and social equity. From choosing ingredients to eating habits, and from food consumption to waste management, sustainable eating permeates every aspect of our daily lives.

Pure Vegan

In 2020, Yang Ming Spring upgraded its brand to be fully vegan, eliminating animal-based ingredients such as eggs, milk, and honey. With a commitment to respecting life, this transition  broadened the customer base, allowing more people to taste the deliciousness of plant-based foods in their purest form.

Golden Opportunity

Yangming — noble and radiant, embodying a brightness that is steadfast and true.

Metamorphosis

The founder also used the following five fine arts; culinary art, tea art, natural art, literature art, and creative art to upgrade the Yangming Spring store on Yangming Mountain. The Yangming Mountain Branch was officially named the Yangming Spring Heart Five Arts Creative Park following the upgrade.
