Intention

Taiwanese tea culture is incredibly diverse. Both the traditional tea-making methods and
the custom-crafted hand-shaken teas reflect the unique "mix and match" spirit of
the Taiwanese people—playful yet full of energy.

Concept
I. Learn about Tea
Story x Tea
This area allows people to touch and explore the secrets of tea by interacting with tea leaves.
Flexible Space
The freely adjustable curtains offer users versatility in use.
For example, the curtains can be pulled up to create a more open space for use as an outdoor classroom.
The flavor wheel takes viewers on a step-by-step journey to discover their ideal tea preferences. After exploring various flavors, they can visit the "Bring Your Tea" area to purchase their favorite blend. This experience allows them to connect with their perfect tea in a personalized way.
The exhibition area will function as an outdoor classroom, offering lectures that share the experiences of tea growers with the viewers.
II. Play with Tea
Depending on the time, it can be divided into leisure and activity periods. This area will feature various activities, such as learning to dye fabric with tea leaves and transforming used tea leaves from local tea shops into organic fertilizer.
Partnering with the cafe in the base, we'll introduce tea-coffee blends to keep people coming back for more!
