Many years ago, tea houses were once popular, emphasizing the quality of tea and a nostalgic atmosphere. Over the years, even though the trend has faded, the culture of drinking tea and dining has continuously evolved, developing a unique spirit.
Taipei's Zhu Li Guan offers an environment that seems like a forest. Outside, the entrance is shaded by green plants and interspersed with pink flowers, creating a delicate and elegant atmosphere. Stone steps, wooden tables and chairs, and bamboo decorations emit a subtle bamboo fragrance, refreshing the mind. Upon entering, the yellow table lamps emit a comfortable and warm atmosphere. Along the corridor, there is an exhibition area displaying the owner's collection of various teapots and tea wares.
The owner is a tea enthusiast. The oolong tea here has an authentic taste of Taiwan, naturally sweet, and is the signature tea of the store. The tea-related dishes are also particularly unique. The main dishes include shrimp, filet mignon, and three-layer braised pork, all seasoned with pu-erh tea, allowing the sweetness of the tea to bring out the delicate flavor of the ingredients. Desserts like tea jelly also have their own unique flavor. In addition to individual set meals, Zhu Li Guan also offers a full-course tea banquet, providing a unique tea-based cuisine, ensuring an unforgettable feast.
