Once you arrive at Jiufen, you should immediately head to this tea house before it gets crowded. Lucky us I was seated in the balcony area with amazing sea and mountain views. I ordered the Hot Tea set which costs NTD 300/ person including Oolong Tea, Plum, Mochi, Green Bean Cakes, and Sesame Crackers. The staff will demonstrate to you how to brew tea after that we brewed it ourselves. Price-wise, it’s quite expensive but you can brew the tea for so many times plus the snacks and scenery are pleasantly good. We had good times enjoying both the tea and the scenery. Truly, it is a very charming mountain town. We spent a very beautiful evening leisurely here, drinking Chinese afternoon tea and, watching the sunset, mountains, and sea.
