From Oolong tea to green tea and black tea, Taiwanese tea delights the palates of locals and foreigners alike.
Taipei is known for its production and export of tea, especially in the Dadaocheng area where a few hundred-year-old tea shops still remain. And tea leaves are still a popular gift or souvenir.
In the past few years, new brands of tea have also been rejuvenating the tea culture among the younger generation with either packaging or tea-drinking experiences different from traditional shops.
Tea houses are worth visiting any time of the year, and "Good Eye Taipei,” a new bilingual Taipei city guide, shares six of the best tea houses in the city.
