CAOLY TEA 茗窖茶莊 中山一店 — Restaurant in Zhongshan District

I am quite serious about my tea. And I've been to more than 50 tea shops around Taipei. This is by far the best, with no close second. Amanda has been wonderfully knowledgeable and happy to share that knowledge. She spent a lot of time running tea tastings for me, discussing various sorts and plantations. The prices are marginally better than what you can find elsewhere, but the reliability, trustworthiness, and level of service make it the best. If you are not a tea connoisseur, here's the one place you can always be certain of the quality of the product you buy. Will...

My favorite tea shop in Taiwan as of now! The seller was so good at explaining each type of tea and she let us try a variety - it helped that her English was significantly better than other shops’ sellers I had been to.

Even though I came later at night she was so accommodating and took her time to brew each tea so that the tea was warm and delicious.

I knew of this shop since a local Taiwanese friend first gifted me a set from here. So glad I stopped by before...

Amazing little tea shop! A hidden gem!

Amanda was so helpful, giving us all types of tea to taste. She explained about each one (the altitude they were grown at, the fermentation, the roasting) and really helped educate us about the teas.

We ended up spending less than we normally would, as we have limited space in our luggage, but we did get a good selection of teas and some tea cups.

We buy tea in every country we visit and this shop is one of our favorites....
