Georg Peck Tea Shop

Georg Peck Tea Shop has incredibly delicious and refreshing teas and bing shas. Of particular note is their Grapefruit Green Tea (葡萄柚绿茶 Pútáo yòu lǜchá), which contains real chunks of grapefruit well-blended with the green tea.

Directions from MAK: On Hwy 22 (the road in front of E-Da Hospital), go towards Nantze. Once in Nantze, go straight through the intersection with the train station on your right. Go just past the second light and the shop is on your right. (This is in a similar area to Sushi Express)

Parking is limited.

Tea & Magic Hand 茶の魔手






Tea & Magic Hand is a chain tea shop with some of the BEST milk tea I've ever tasted. It's a bit more expensive than other tea shops, but well worth it for a special treat.


 

They have many drinks from which to choose, but here are a few recommendations:
  • milk tea 奶茶 nǎi chá
  • red bean milk tea 紅豆奶茶 hóng dòu nǎi chá
  • bubble tea 珍珠奶茶 zhēn zhū nǎi chá
  • almond milk tea (warm) 杏仁奶茶(熱)xìng rén nǎi chá(rè)
  • lavender milk tea 薰衣草奶茶 xūn yī cǎo nǎi chá
The tea is pretty sweet, so you might consider half sugar or less for a still-great taste.

Sen Style Books Store


For some delicious and creative teas, try out the Sen Style Books Store tea shop in Dashe. They have a fun variety of teas, including a green tea with frothy milk (pictured below) and good grapefruit green tea (葡萄柚綠茶 pú táo yòu lǜ chá). It's a bit more expensive than other tea shops (e.g 40 NT for the green tea with frothy milk), but worth it for a special treat. You can specify your desired level of sugar on most teas.



Directions from MAK: Go into Dashe on the main road (Jhong Shan Rd. 中山路).At the second major light (the intersection with the 7-11 and Family Mart and Watson's), you'll find this shop. It's a few doors down from the 7-11, on the same side of the street (across the street from Bridge Drugs). 


Parking: Limited on-street parking for cars.



Other notes: You'll know you found the tea shop when you see the many milk cartons out front and the comic book shop in the back. If you want to order the drink pictured above, you can simply point to the large sign with the drink pictured. It's one of their specialties.
