Know before you go

In Taiwan, tea is traditionally consumed hot with nothing added. It is enjoyed at social gatherings with friends or family at home or at a traditional teahouse. The steps of making tea have been perfected over centuries. Also known as "kung-fu tea," this tea ceremony is less "ceremonial" than the Japanese tea ceremony, but more focused on the preparation of each tea in order to coax out the maximum potential of the tea's aroma and flavour. Taiwan produces one of the best teas in the world: Oolong.
