Wow. A real teahouse. Ali shan varieties galore. Very good tea, probably the most expensive tea I have ever purchased. But still, even if it were $2 a cup ... relatively cheap to other vices. The tasting service was wonderful. Farmer direct tea.
My girlfriend and I went in for a tea tasting here, it was great! It was a very educational experience, the hostess taught us all about the teas being served and even showed us on a map specifically what mountain each tea was grown on, it's elevation, as well as how it is processed. I would highly recommend this shop, we purchased two bags and both are extremely good. If you are not too familiar with Taiwanese oolong tea the tasting is excellent for figuring out what kind prefer, but as far as I've experienced at the moment you cannot go wrong purchasing anything from them.
I'm so glad that I found this one of a kind tea shop! I did not order the tea tasting , however I ordered tea for myself and a friend from a menu that detailed the differences between each tea and we each got our own set up. The employees were very through and helpful in explaining to us the proper way to savor the tea. Overall it was a very relaxing, almost meditative way to enjoy drinking tea. This is a Taiwanese tea shop with a very tranquil environment, this is not a Boba tea spot for trendy colorful drinks or fried chicken but instead a place to relax and enjoy an authentic tea ceremony.
Yoshan Tea offers a great experience for people interested in Taiwanese tea culture. The store also has a wide assortment of tea products and cups. Their oolong teas are rich in flavors.
Tea tasting was two for $39. Fun experience but can be a bit pricey if your only experience with tea is the tea they serve at restaurants. Seems like a nice place to study. Reservations for tastings are recommended.
