Jiufen Teahouse

Top choice in Northern Taiwan

Step back in time at this century-old wooden tea house full of antique furnishings and cosy nooks to hunker down in. The tea selection includes aged pu'ers, roasted Oriental Beauty and Tieguanyin. A pot (with unlimited water refills) starts at NT$600, plus NT$100 per guest, so it's an expensive place to drink solo. Find it just west of the Shuqi St steps on Jishan St.

Sweet snacks include pineapple cake and oolong tea cheesecake. In the basement is a ceramic studio and exhibition area, with high-quality pieces for sale.
