春山茶水舖

Located near the MRT Technology Building Station, Chunshan Tea Shop is one of the long-standing and popular hand-shaken drink stores in Taipei. I made a reservation for pick-up on their official website. Although the system indicated it would be ready in 20 minutes, I still had to wait in line to collect it when I arrived. The crowd ordering on-site was also continuous; I recommend everyone make a reservation to avoid waiting too long.

This time, I ordered the "Ice Orange Tea" with no sugar and less ice, plus a free addition of sourness. 😍 It tastes like a premium version of the 8 Ice Green tea (from 50 Lan), but with a richer overall layering. The orange flavor is naturally fresh and completely devoid of the artificial taste found in cheap orange teas. The no sugar option is not bitter at all; instead, it showcases the clean and refreshing qualities of the tea base. Coupled with just the right amount of the "free addition of sourness," it hits the perfect acidity, making it both thirst-quenching and appetizing—truly an excellent choice for summer.

Many people online also recommend their jade lemon, matcha milk, pearl milk tea, and other offerings.

The quality and popularity of Chunshan Tea Shop certainly match up. Although waiting in line is necessary, making a reservation for pick-up is an effective way to reduce wait time. I recommend it to friends who appreciate the subtlety in tea flavors.
