This venue originated from a long-established tea house and focuses on showcasing the terroir of Taiwanese teas, carefully selecting leaves from renowned regions like Xueshan, Alishan, and Sun Moon Lake.

This time, Hermione ordered two drinks: Ruby Black Tea with Amber Tea Jelly, and Ruby Milk Tea. The black tea is rich and robust without any bitterness. Paired with the amber tea jelly, each sip offers a smooth, lingering aftertaste. Whether you choose sweetened or unsweetened, you'll enjoy a harmonious, concentrated tea flavor that's never overly sweet or lacking in its original aroma. In addition, the venue specializes in oolong tea bases, ranging from the light and refreshing Snow Oolong and Golden Oolong to the rich, roasted Fire Oolong — each one unforgettable. The unsweetened oolong teas, in particular, are wonderfully aromatic and easy to drink, perfectly showcasing the natural flavor of the leaves. The venue also offers creative toppings, incorporating tea-based elements like tea pearls and tea jellies to add unique textural layers to every drink. Beyond that, 60+ Tea Shop's champion teas successfully reinterpret traditional tea culture in a trendy way. Whether you're a tea connoisseur or a newcomer, this venue offers a unique tea journey.

This venue, originally a traditional tea house founded in 1982, successfully transformed under the guidance of a tea master with over 40 years of experience in the tea industry. The biggest highlight of the drinks here is the tea-leaf-shaped ice brick added to their signature Amber series. This special tea ice brick prevents the tea from being diluted by melting ice; instead, it slowly releases tea aroma, creating a rich, layered flavor. To maintain quality, the venue also insists on hand-brewing its base tea and special brown sugar water daily. The most popular drink, "Amber Ice Brick Milk," combines rich tea aroma with a fixed sweetness of brown sugar water, making it a favorite for those who prefer sweeter flavors. For a refreshing option, the "Amber Lemon" is a top choice for cooling down, known for its balanced sweet and sour profile. Both of these drinks come with crushed ice to enhance their refreshing texture. Beyond the signature specials, the venue's pure tea, "Honey Scented Black Tea," has also received high praise for its smooth, non-astringent tea notes and natural honey aroma. Although the venue space is small, the old tea canisters displayed on the walls blend with a modern, artistic style, creating a memorable spot that draws customers to queue up for photos. ### 青山茶行 Mystery Shopper's Take Review #Old Tea House Heritage, New Attitude REVIEWED BY [妙麗](https://www.twosevenths.com/en/tag/%E5%A6%99%E9%BA%97/) This time, Hermione visited Aoyama Tea House. Their signature Amber series was sold out, but while waiting in line, the venue offered a sample of their Dreamer Fresh Milk Tea, which she found quite good. She ended up ordering the Dreamer Fresh Milk Tea and the Honey Scented Red Oolong. The Dreamer Fresh Milk Tea is a classic example of an old tea house's milk tea, using a high-quality black tea base. The tea aroma is rich, and with fresh milk, the texture is mellow and smooth. Although the sweetness is mostly fixed (using handmade brown sugar syrup), the sweetness is fragrant and not cloying. In contrast, the Honey Scented Red Oolong showcases the tea house's depth in tea leaves. The biggest feature of this tea is its natural honey aroma. The tea is smooth and not astringent, with a fresh and unique flavor and rich layers. Hermione ordered it unsweetened, and after drinking the fresh milk tea, she felt that a slight sweetness would better bring out the lingering aftertaste of the tea. On her next visit, she would lean towards ordering one-quarter or a touch of sugar. Whether choosing the unsweetened version of the pure tea to savor the natural sweetness of the tea base itself, or pairing it with fresh milk to make a milk tea, Hermione highly recommends this Tainan Beverage Venue. Even without trying the signature series, these were "spot-on" specialty teas.

The venue's interior combines modern sophistication with an elegant atmosphere, and a lounge area is available for guests to relax. The venue emphasizes "chilled tea" to preserve the original flavor of its beverages. The tea is pre-chilled and served without additional ice. All drinks are sweetened with house-made cane sugar syrup, and in addition to standard cup sizes, bottled options are available for takeout and sharing. One of the venue's signature offerings is "Osmanthus Plum Juice," a rich and concentrated blend of six traditional Chinese herbs and osmanthus, slow-cooked for an extended period. Its sweet-and-sour profile with a lingering aftertaste is a favorite for cutting richness and quenching thirst. Another popular drink is "Guanxi Grass Jelly Tea," made from premium Guanxi grass jelly, slow-brewed to perfection. It delivers a rich, pure grass jelly aroma on the palate, with a subtly bitter-sweet finish. ### 尚源堂 Mystery Shopper's Take Review #Savoring the Purity of Natural and Traditional Brews REVIEWED BY [妙麗](https://www.twosevenths.com/en/tag/%E5%A6%99%E9%BA%97/) At Shangyuantang, you truly feel the venue's commitment to "natural" and "traditional" methods. This time, Hermione ordered the Four Seasons Green Tea and the signature Guanxi Grass Jelly Tea. First, their pure tea series, like the Four Seasons Green Tea, is sold "iced" without added ice cubes, ensuring the pure flavor of the tea. The unsweetened Four Seasons Green Tea is refreshingly light and elegant, with no astringency and an incredibly smooth finish. It allows the tea leaves' gentle notes to fully unfold, making it a surprisingly delightful and guilt-free tea. The Guanxi Grass Jelly Tea, a true gem of the venue, embodies the value of tradition. This herbal tea is made from high-quality dried Guanxi grass jelly, slow-brewed for an extended period. It boasts a rich flavor with a subtle bittersweet note and an intense grass jelly aroma, offering a warm and comforting mouthfeel that is distinctly different from other grass jelly teas on the market. Beyond the beverages, Hermione found the decor of this Tainan Beverage Venues to be a major highlight. The interior is elegantly and tastefully designed, perfectly blending vintage furniture with exquisite decorations to create a surprisingly sophisticated ambiance—it's hard to believe it's just a beverage venue. Even more uniquely, Shangyuantang features high-quality audio equipment, often playing charming oldies or jazz, creating an immersive and relaxing space for customers.

This novel ordering method allows customers to deeply participate in the flavor composition of their drinks. The venue lets customers freely pair different floral extract sugar flavors based on their tea choice and personal preference. Current options include: * Amber Sugar * Rose * Longan * Jasmine * Osmanthus Popular items include Dongding Tiehu Oolong with Fleur de Sel Cream, Lugu Red Oolong Milk Tea, and Fresh Apple Shanlinxi Green Tea. To ensure consistent flavor and quality, all drinks come in a single 500ml size. The space design emphasizes a simple, high-quality aesthetic, providing a comfortable purchasing experience even with its primarily takeout-focused business model. Thanks to its refined brand image and unique flavors, this venue has earned a high rating of 4.9 stars on both Google Maps and Uber Eats. For purchases, TUGU currently accepts cash only; delivery orders can be placed via the Uber Eats platform. Its distinctive product positioning makes it a unique beverage choice around the Guohua Street business district. ### TUGU 荼谷花香飲品專賣所 Mystery Shopper's Take Review #A new bubble tea experience where you can even choose the scent of your sugar REVIEWED BY [妙麗](https://www.twosevenths.com/en/tag/%E5%A6%99%E9%BA%97/) I initially thought TUGU was just another trendy Instagram spot, but my opinion completely changed after trying it. The "flower-infused sugar" is a standout feature, allowing you to choose the scent of your sugar! The five options—osmanthus, jasmine, rose, longan, and amber—are like perfumes, each with its own distinct personality, adding a ritualistic element to the ordering process. Hermione ordered the Sun Moon Lake Red Rhyme Black Tea with Osmanthus-infused sugar and Jade Pearls, as well as the Sun Moon Lake Red Rhyme Milk Tea with Hundred Flower Oolong Jelly. The tea base was solid, with a clear Red Rhyme aroma that blended perfectly with the flower-infused sugar. The sugar's fragrance wasn't cloying; for example, the longan infusion had a subtle honey-like note, and the "light sugar" option was just right for someone who usually drinks unsweetened beverages. The Jade Pearls had a good chewiness and a unique lingering aroma, though whether you like it is a matter of personal taste—some of my friends weren't fond of it, and the overall texture was a bit ordinary. Also, the pearls themselves are already sweet, so if you don't like things too sweet, remember to factor that into your sugar level choice! Overall, this Tainan Beverage Venue offers outstanding creativity and quality, making it a place I'd definitely revisit. The minor drawbacks are the smaller drink size (the small is 500ml) and slightly higher prices, plus they only accept cash, so remember to be prepared. But for a bubble tea you can "smell," it's truly worth the price.

This venue highlights its careful selection of high-quality tea leaves and uses precise brewing techniques to bring out the purest essence of the tea. The drinks here are known for their meticulously chosen tea bases and innovative ingredient combinations. Popular items include the Sunset Red Milk Tea Latte with nuts, the Coconut Chocolate Smoothie, and the Muscat Grape Sparkling Drink. The venue also regularly introduces seasonal limited-edition drinks, offering customers delightful surprises that encourage return visits. The interior features a warm, wood-toned aesthetic, complemented by various green plants, creating a strong literary and artistic vibe. Its proximity to the Far Eastern Department Store shopping district makes it a comfortable stop for many shoppers. The venue offers two drink sizes: M (approximately 500 ml) and L (approximately 700 ml). It accepts cash and major mobile payment options. In addition to online ordering via Dodo Eats, delivery is available through Uber Eats and Foodpanda, where it consistently receives high ratings of 4.8 stars or above on all platforms. ### 小得飲滿 Mystery Shopper's Take Review #Foam perfection: tea and milk unite REVIEWED BY [妙麗](https://www.twosevenths.com/en/tag/%E5%A6%99%E9%BA%97/) Xiaode Yinman offers a fresh, minimalist vibe, with bright, comfortable interiors and strong air conditioning that provides instant relief on a hot day. The staff are friendly and proactive, introducing the unique characteristics of each tea, which really conveys the brand's dedication. Hermione ordered the Youyou Honey Red and the Xihong Milk Tea. Overall, the tea flavor was quite robust, and the unsweetened tea had a noticeable sweet aftertaste, though it finished with a slight bitterness that was a definite drawback and generally disliked by my companions. The Xihong Milk Tea, however, featured a delicate foam layer topped with nuts, creating a more complex texture than expected. I initially thought it was whipped cream, but the staff explained it was a foam made from tea and fresh milk, which was impressive and added a novel touch to the mouthfeel. Prices are within the typical market range, and considering the overall ambiance and creative tea offerings, this is a good value Tainan Beverage Venue. If you enjoy strong tea flavors and varied textures in your drinks, Xiaode Yinman is a worthwhile choice.

The brand's original intention was not to go for flashy extravagance, but to return to the essence of beverages, allowing customers to savor the lingering aftertaste of high-quality tea leaves.

The Old Tree Malted Tea here has a rich malty flavor, like walking into a wheat field. Its refreshing taste carries a strong, wholesome vibe, perfect for those who enjoy natural flavors. Unlike typical black teas, the prominent malt aroma offers a fresh, natural essence. The Uva Milk Tea is another popular beverage. It uses Uva tea from Sri Lanka as its base, sourced from the highlands on the eastern side of the central mountains. This tea boasts a unique, rich aroma with a hint of spice, and its pairing with fresh milk achieves a perfect balance. The fresh milk used here is from Freshland, known for its rich flavor that complements the tea's notes beautifully. Even with just a touch of sugar, the creamy richness of the milk tea is astonishing, making it incredibly satisfying sip after sip. Although the venue is small and lacks air conditioning, its clean environment and young, friendly staff create a welcoming local atmosphere from the moment you step inside.

This venue blends the expertise of traditional tea houses with the convenience of modern takeout, focusing on high-quality Taiwanese tea beverages. While the menu lists nearly 20 items, Chua Cha primarily sells pure teas and milk teas, not all of which are regularly available. Popular choices include Jinxuan tea, known for its evolving finish, the mellow Alishan Sijichun, and the charcoal-roasted oolong milk tea, which boasts a rich tea flavor. Unlike typical bubble tea shops, Chua Cha operates more like a small specialty tea shop, offering a diverse range of services. In addition to freshly prepared drinks, the venue also sells selected tea leaves and gift sets, and even provides tea tasting experiences to cater to different customer needs. For customer convenience, the venue offers both on-site ordering and LINE message reservations. If you choose to reserve, simply send a message by 5 PM the day before to pick up your order at a specified time, saving you from waiting on-site. ### 揣茶 Mystery Shopper's Take Review #Flavor-locking tea ice cubes: a brilliant idea REVIEWED BY [妙麗](https://www.twosevenths.com/en/tag/%E5%A6%99%E9%BA%97/) Hermione ordered the Osmanthus Oolong and Jinxuan Tea, and the staff recommended the ideal ice and sugar levels. The Osmanthus Oolong is known for its elegant and rich profile: the tea has a delicate fragrance that subtly captures the osmanthus's light aroma, perfectly blending with the robust character of the oolong tea itself. As you drink, the osmanthus fragrance weaves through your palate, creating a comfortable, relaxing experience, with a rich, lingering aftertaste that makes it ideal for those who appreciate a balance of floral and tea notes. The Jinxuan Tea stands out for its high-mountain quality, using杉林溪 high-mountain Jinxuan. Its biggest highlight is the natural, understated creamy or milky aroma it emits, which is never the overpowering scent of artificial flavoring. This tea is best enjoyed unsweetened, with a smooth, silky texture and a satisfying, rich mouthfeel that offers complex layers and a delightful finish. Beyond the quality of the tea itself, Hermione's favorite feature is the venue's "tea ice cubes." This clever innovation perfectly solves the common problem of traditional hand-shaken beverages becoming diluted as ice melts. The venue makes ice cubes from the same tea ordered by the customer, ensuring that the drink maintains a consistent, rich tea aroma and flavor concentration from start to finish, allowing the lingering aftertaste to persist. The tea ice cubes are not only uniquely shaped but also provide a longer-lasting chilling effect, so even when taking your drink to go in hot Tainan, you can enjoy excellent tea with undiminished flavor. A final reminder: choosing "no ice" means the drink will not include tea ice cubes.
