TEN PAST TEN — Restaurant in Taoyuan City

We stumbled upon this wonderful coffee shop while looking for a place to have some simple coffee, and we were so pleasantly surprised by the huge range of beans on offer!

The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful with taking us through their extensive menu and suggesting beans based upon our tastes. After they ground the beans we chose, they brought the grounds over for us to smell first (such delicious aromas!).

With our coffee orders, they brought us smaller cups of each other's orders (there were 3 of us and we all ordered different coffees), so we got to taste what the others ordered.

They even have "coffees of the day" which are available to taste test for free. They do their own roasting on site and you can tell they are clearly passionate about coffee.

Would definitely visit when I'm in...

The coffee is really good. The boss is really nice to tell you every detail of coffee beans. The flavor is so good, and they have a lot of kind flavors coffee beans from different country. You can ask the owner to choose your favorite coffee , they even can let you taste the coffee. They even sell their own coffee powder, it’s very convenient to drink...

I'd pass on the lattes (and probably other espresso based drinks, for that matter), as they were a bit lacking in depth and flavor, and sweeter than expected because of the milk (no sugar added).

However, their pourovers are quite nice: especially the medium roast Kenya, which is well-balanced and has an intriguing oolong tea...
