Beitou’s time-honored and ancient black tea shop that locals love: Gaoji Tea House!
Beitou has always been famous for its traditional old-style black tea stores. The prices are much cheaper than hand-cranked stores. Many stores have been open for a long time. When I was young, I thought that the famous Beitou local black teas were Cai Yuanyi and Mingquan black tea. In recent years, Gaoji Tea House has become more representative, and more and more people have requested to drink it. Almost every time they come to drink, there is a long queue.
However, although the queue is very long, the waiter digests it very quickly, and the ordering method is quite unique. One by one, the waiters will come out to order food for each customer, and one person will be responsible for each customer and finish the drinks for the previous customer. Only then will he come out to collect money
The former Gaoji was located in Beitou Market. After the market was demolished and renovated, it was moved to the corner of Beitou Market. There was a small branch in the relay market, selling fewer items.
🥤Beverage item recommendations
🤍Wuyou Tea (pure tea large cup 900ml $25): Gaoji’s most famous product is Wuyou Tea, which is actually oolong and green tea. It tastes very refreshing and smooth, with a sweet aftertaste. It is a good choice for those who want to drink pure tea. What’s very special here is that the pure tea retains the essence of ancient black tea - it’s sold in plastic bags, and it’s very retro to drink from a bag😆
🤍Lemon + Tea (large cup 900ml $60): Unless otherwise stated, the default is to add black tea. It would also be nice to add oolong instead. This is my most recommended item in Gaoji! ! ! 🍋The lemon flavor is very strong, and the black tea flavor is also strong, so they go well together! It is a unique taste that you can only drink in ancient black tea shops or Gaoji.
🤍 Pure honey + green tea (medium cup 700ml $40): This is the first time I ordered this item. I don’t know if it’s limited time. It’s not on the regular menu, but posted at the counter. The honey flavor is very rich, and it is refreshing and suitable for summer when paired with green tea. I will still want to repurchase this item next time.
