My Several Worlds

Beautiful tea story. Thank you. It sounds so nice just chillin at the tea stations for a change of pace. Really nice.

I’m curious, is wulong tea touted for slimming benefits in Taiwan?

Liked your tea pictures. The 8 treasures is beautiful.

My pleasure. Taoyuan Nights rocks!

I’m glad to find another tea lover. Ching Shin Fu Chuan is pretty cheap too. $25 NT for a large iced oolong. I’m seriously addicted.

Hey,

First of all, thankyou for linking to Taoyuan Nights. =D

Secondly, I found your post on tea quite interesting. I too am a huge fan of Ba Bao Cha, and in general I’m a fan of the tea stations too – expensive, compared to my local with it’s delightfully good $20 limon liu/hong cha, (and $25 sheenren cha) – but more tasty since they tend to use fresh fruits to flavour the tea at the tea stations.

I’ll add a reciprocal link back here, next time I’m updating my site.

I’m going home to Canada for a visit next month and I know I’m going to miss it too. Perhaps this could be a future business venture for someone returning home to North America. If Americans are sold on deep- fried cola, why not sell them on the idea of tea stations too?

I don’t usually buy my tea at the convienance store though. I’ll have to give it a try.

Having tea available to me every where I go is one thing I miss about Taiwan.

Yeah, tea is really good for you. Especially green tea. I've been interested in tea houses myself, but I usually only go when Franc drags me along. Most of the time I just by ??? at the convenience store, or go to one of those quick tea stations.
