Thanks for your response! By any chance, do you also know the name of the store for the tea or even the tea that you bought? Would love to get some more ideas, I have a list but would like to add more since it's not that often that I come to Taiwan

Hello! I've been looking around the forum to see if there are any good teaware stores in Taipei/Yingge and was wondering if anyone have any recommendations. I know that purion is a big thing and Lin's ceramic seems to be a good place and was wondering if there are any other places that people would ...

Hey everyone! What's everyone's thoughts on tea that are harvested from the same area, but from different seasons? I have a tea that someone gifted me from Taiwan (high mountain) and the packaging says it's made using spring and winter harvested leaves. Does it make it better/worse/etc?

Oh no! Do you know if that's a common thing? I know what Oriental Beauty is in Chinese and it's an oolong, would someone lie and try to tell me it's Hong Cha? Would knowing its name in Chinese be enough or should I ask more questions? Don't want to get scammed! Relax. These vendors are not liars, n...

1. I think they are no longer connected business-wise but they are close (locations) & in price & quality on some teas at least. Usually at this time of year good roasted TGY is gone but perhaps you will be lucky. I suggest sampling that. Also, hong cha/oriental beauty. I enjoyed visiting those sho...

Thank you! Any recommendations on teas that are similar to Oriental Beauty (Would now still be a good time to buy? As in is it in good season?) My brother likes dark oolongs and likes stuff like Mi Lan Xiang. Or really any teas that I should look out for in early June? Definitely don't want to miss ...

Hi everyone!

Totally new to tea and would love it if people can guide me to the right spot. I never really drank tea or coffee before in the past, but my friend made me a cup once and now I am sold and I am excited to go on this journey.

Hello, Was wondering if anyone can recommend me some nice oolongs in Taipei -- I have a layover for a few hours and unfortunately don't have time to go to the tea farms. Would love to know what people think about these places on my list 1. Lin Mao Sen and Lin Hua Tai (They seem related so can't imag...
