景源從小就在茶樹間嬉戲成長,長大後也會到茶園幫忙,父親創立星源茶園,是以爸爸劉明"星"與兒子劉景"源"的名字作為命名為"星源茶園",希望兒子能把爺爺的茶農精神傳承下去,但景源對於茶園的事業從沒想到承接下來,外語系的他,到國外遊學練就英文本事!還在探索人生方向的時候,2007父親卻意外身亡,在親戚家人的鼓勵之下,毅然決然回鄉接手這個從爺爺傳承下的茶園,當時未滿三十歲的他,得到了來自中山區其他茶農叔伯的熱心指導與支持,學習茶葉的繁複製作過程與宜蘭茶特殊技術,星源茶園不使用除草劑及化學肥料,產量雖少但是品質優良,也是技術比賽的常勝軍,製作出來的宜蘭茶清香回甘,有固定的一群愛好者,而近年食安問題層出不窮,園區質地香純的限量苦茶油總是供不應求。
