在全球化的影響下，台灣面臨著社會、文化、經濟等各方面的轉型，茶產業也必須不斷調整經營方式與特色，才得以在競爭激烈的環境中持續存續下去。文化產業（culture industry）的概念，始於全球經濟結構體制、民眾消費型態、文化價值觀的改變，以及文化商品性的擴展，促成了許多國家以「文化產業」為主導的產業發展潮流。 「茶」是一個源遠流長的產物，隨著不同的時代、不同的民族、不同的環境而呈現出多元互異的「茶文化」產業。從神農氏嚐百草之後，「茶」已融入在每一個人的生活習慣之中，同時，在歷經數千年的演進，「茶」也已經從「藥草」、轉變成「飲料」，尤其是「陸羽茶經」的出現，更是將「喝茶」提升為一種品茗賞趣的茶藝文化。 「茶」目前已經和咖啡、可樂等並列為世界三大飲料，由於茶文化富有深厚的內涵，因此，世界許多國家開始注重「茶文化」的發展。 台灣「茶文化」的發展與中國大陸間有密切的關係，兩個地方同時都傳承著悠久的「茶文化」歷史，同時也各自發展出不同的「茶文化」內涵。 台灣「天仁集團」以及中國大陸的「天福集團」，其總裁李瑞河先生，以其豐富的茶業知識，以及專業的商業經營模式，同時在台灣及中國大陸地區開創出「茶」產業的優勢地位，同時，更利用其經濟上的基礎，協助推動「茶文化」的發展，以「茶產業」來推動「茶文化」的發展，以「茶文化」來行銷「茶產業」，讓「茶產業」和「茶文化」能夠達到同時發展的目的。 本論文希望藉著從「文化」推動產業升級與永續發展「茶產業」的方向，及探討對於「茶文化」產業的瞭解與認識，以及台商「天福集團」對於「茶產業」和「茶產業」的發展過程，來瞭解台灣茶產業的發展歷程、「茶文化」提昇「茶產業」的附加價值及台商天福集團成功典範對台灣茶產業的啟示等，以期能夠將「茶文化」與「茶產業」進行連結，共同創造茶業的永續發展。 Under the globalization’s impact, Taiwan is also face to the transformation of society, culture and economy.
