有記名茶 WANGTEA - Section 2

My favorite place in Taipei to buy high mountain Oolong tea. They have a very knowledgeable staff and several varieties, each at a range of price points. They also have top-of-the-line ceramic bubble teapots. English-friendly, as well.

Really good tea. Still made the old way, on premesis. One of the last original tea houses in old Taipei and the only one left in the neighborhood that still processes and roasts their teas the traditional method. The staff are very friendly and will show you everything and give you a personal behind the scenes tour for free. They are obviously proud of their history and their products.

Very interesting tea shop and tour. They still use the charcoal method along with more modern technology. I highly recommend visiting, talking to the staff about the different teas and the tour. Of course we bought plenty of teas to bring home.

Purchasing tea in this store is an experience! First, an associate will ask you about your preferences and whether you'd like oolong or black tea. Depending on your tastes, she might recommended a light, refreshing brew or one that is richer and more aromatic. Then, you'll be invited to taste a couple of selections.We learned that the ideal water temperature for brewing tea depends on which blend you're brewing. The flavor also becomes deeper after the leaves have been steeped multiple times. After we purchased a couple of different varieties of oolong to take home, we were invited on a little tour of the factory. Even today, the tea they make here is cured using charcoal. (Although an electric machine is used for some products as well.) Meticulously created panels in the factory have descriptions of the curing process in Chinese, English and Japanese. If you're looking to purchase some high-quality oolong tea in Taipei, I'd recommend coming here first!

Short version: very informative place about tea, amazing, helpful and nice staff and superb quality of the tea. Quality of the tea is worth the price in every way.In the back still used tea factory!! I recommend it with all my heart!! Longer version: Visiting this store was an amazing experience. We didn’t know much about the tea when we came in but the lady in the store patiently and with a sense of humour explained all about the process of making tea from leaves and preparing the bevarage. Without making it into a cult, just simply telling us what to do if we want the best flavour or the best smell (it’s different for one and the other). Without rush she made two different kinds of tea for us to try. Later she showed us tea factory in the back of the store that they stil use for making tea from fresh leaves. It was a unique experience. For someone coming from a country where tea is rather low quality and low price, here in Taiwan and in this store the price for a bag of dried leaves is high. However the taste and the smell of it makes it worth every spent dollar.

Great selection. We were able to try all the teas. Annie’s English was excellent and gave us a lot of knowledge on tea culture in Taiwan. We ultimately bought the jasmine tea.

Very helpful staff/owner. They have their own mini tea making museum inside the their shop. They have some teapots that you can buy too

A bit tucked in but recommend. Our Sales Assistant/Quick Tour Guide was very thorough explaining the tea making, tea types, and ways making tea. She also answered some of our questions about tea. We tried about 3 different teas and found our perfect teas. Fragrant and tasty tea. At the back of the shop is also a living facility to make teas the old way, complete with an old man doing QA on tea stems that haven’t been picked up by machine. Definitely worth visiting.
