Wu Wei Tsao Tang Teahouse

While placing tea at its center, it is also well regarded for the quality of its food. It offers everything from light snacks to substantial dishes, all gently seasoned and arranged to pair well with tea. After the meal you can enjoy Taiwanese teas such as Alishan Oolong and Dong Ding Oolong while receiving an explanation of the serving etiquette, creating an experience where food and tea become one.

Passing through the gate, the city noise immediately fades away, revealing a large pond where koi swim and surrounding corridors. There are tatami-matted private rooms and table seats facing the pond, each with its own distinct atmosphere, so you can relax no matter where you sit. Staff who are fluent in Japanese are also on hand, and the refined, peaceful atmosphere makes it easy for first-time visitors to feel at ease.

It was established about 25 years ago on land that at the time was covered with fields and paddies. The creation of a space that blends architectural styles from the Japanese colonial period with Chinese garden culture symbolizes the layering of Taiwan's history and culture. Although it is now located in an area that has become more urbanized, it still carefully preserves its origins and philosophy, and continues to offer quiet moments through tea.
