Daybreak 18 Teahouse

Tainan


Tucked away in the garden of the historic Tainan Public Hall (公會堂, Gōnghuì Táng), this elegant teahouse takes the form of a 1930s Japanese wooden structure. Settle in and taste the wide tea selection – black, white, green, oolong, fruit and herbal brews – complemented by ice cream and waffles, or buy beautiful pots and boxes of healing leaves.
