Sip a freshly brewed cup of high-mountain tea from hillside gardens right in the city. Ding Shi Tea House is a brand born from the bond between second-generation tea farmer Chung Ming-chih—who returned to his hometown—and a one-of-a-kind shepherd dog named Ding Ding. Unlike the typical Taiwanese tea shop, it presents itself as a café, serving cup-by-cup infusions to help young drinkers read the heart of Taiwanese tea without any distance. After returning to take over the family tea business, Chung Ming-chih was startled to find how few young people buy loose-leaf tea. Accustomed to the convenience and low price of hand-shaken drinks, the younger generation feels distant from traditional Taiwanese tea: they neither understand its culture and meaning nor dare step into a tea store to learn. How to give Taiwanese tea and young people a chance to meet became the very reason we founded Ding Shi Tea House. So we created a new way to drink tea: a comfortable, pressure-free space where guests pick a cozy seat, order any tea from the menu, and, once the leaves are infused and served, choose to: - savor the cup slowly, - pair it with a novel from the shelf, or - sit at the bar and chat with the owner about growing and crafting tea, listening to stories of leaf and history—gaining a fresher, deeper understanding of tea. Fortunate to live in one of Taiwan’s famous tea regions, we hope the teahouse gives young friends still unfamiliar with Taiwanese tea a first taste, gradually making a daily cup of tea part of their lives. Winter has quietly arrived; our seasonal Winter Osmanthus Oolong is here to warm your heart. Why not drop by and listen to the story told by a fine cup of Taiwanese tea!
