The bright morning tea space is located on Yongchang Street next to Dihua Street in Dadaocheng, directly across from the bustling Yongle Market. The design of the shops in this area combines traditional charm with modern aesthetics and is run by an independent hand-shaken drink brand directly managed by a traditional tea shop.
Today, I enjoyed a grass jelly milk tea, priced at 65 NT dollars.
Grass Jelly Milk Tea:
I opted for less sugar and less ice, and the sweetness was just right, making it smooth and not cloying. The balance between the tea fragrance and the milk aroma was excellent. The grass jelly had a delicate and smooth texture, with a subtle grassy fragrance, refreshing and light. The tea base was likely black tea or oolong tea, with a stable aroma and a slight lingering sweetness at the finish.
Overall, it is a tea space with a lot of personality.
Inside the shop, various tea utensils and tea leaves are on display, and they even sell 2015's lemon aged tea and twenty-year-old preserved vegetables. Since these are not items to enjoy on-site, I won't include them in my food notes. However, using aged preserved vegetables for soup can be delicious.
The entrance has the common arched corridor of old buildings, creating a leisurely atmosphere. After ordering a drink, you can sit on the wooden benches outside and sip tea while watching the constant flow of people on Dihua Street, giving you an illusion of being in Taipei during the Japanese colonial era.
I highly recommend it to everyone!
