TEA HOUSES Taiwanese Teahouses are a blend of contemplative serenity and lively conversations. A casual afternoon at a teahouse will bring one to the heart of the social, artistic, intellectual, and political activities brewing in Taiwan. Many of these teahouses are set in elegant cultured Gardens , making them ideal hideaways for tea drinkers to relax while sampling a wide selection of first-class teas. Tea drinking in Taiwan is akin to Wine Tasting in the west, and tea drinkers will gladly pay a few thousand Taiwan Dollar s for a half Kilogram of good tea leaves. Mountainside tea-art shops and restaurants offering open-air tea drinking, dining, and picturesque views have become favorite destinations for city-dwellers. TEAWARE The typical Taiwanese family owns at least one set of Teaware at home. Many people collect Teapots as a hobby. Most of the people in Taiwan have Purple Porous Pottery teapots at home. Traditionally, "raising the teapots" at home is a Way Of Life in Taiwan. The teapots are used to brew teas intensively so that the surface of the teapots becomes "bright".
