TAIPEI, TAIWAN — We had tea in Taipei. It was perhaps the most exotic tea I’ve tasted so far. Unlike the fastfood version, tea in Taipei’s Mao Kong mountains had to be prepared carefully. It was the traditional way of making tea, they said. But the wait was worth it. The traditional tea house in Mao Kong was a treat. We sat on the floor, and we had a good view of Taipei and the 101 (I’ll get to that in a while). Before we got there, we received a one-page “introduction to tea.” It contained the different classifications of tea, how-to’s and all other tips in brewing tea. The procedure was simple to follow. But it was more fun watching them do it, hehe.Anyway, our day in Taipei started with a several cups of traditional tea (and green tea candies). It was a relaxing afternoon that allowed us to slow down a bit after a day of traveling.
Here’s the video of Taipei 101.
