Water Moon Tea House

Taipei


With some of the city's oldest and finest teas, an elegant design and classes in tea appreciation, this is the place for the serious drinker, or for someone looking to learn more about the art. Sundays see a large expat crowd of qigong enthusiasts, some of whom are volunteers here and can help arrange tea classes (search for 'mindfultaipei' on Facebook).
