茶壜 師大店

If I had to describe it in one sentence: This beverage store is a must-visit for us when we go to the Shida Night Market!

Even though it's called the Shida store, I don't recall seeing any branches in other parts of Taipei. My friends from Shida told me that this is the place that seniors often recommend during their freshman training!

The shop has limited space, so there are usually only one or two staff members, which means the wait time can be quite long. Unfortunately, they don't seem to offer online ordering services (but if they do, feel free to let me know).

Personally, I love their lemon winter melon drink. The sweetness of this drink is fixed, and you can only adjust the ice level. I find the sweetness ratio to be just right—it's not too sour or too sweet, and it doesn't contain caffeine, making it perfect for those who are easily affected by caffeine at night! (Actually, I chose this drink because I'm sensitive to caffeine, which is how I fell in love with this place. They even kindly categorize their menu to highlight caffeine-free options!)

Overall, all their items are reasonably priced, and the quality of the tea drinks is quite good. I highly recommend it!
