Tea area
Maokong貓空
Most capital cities don't grow tea. Taipei does. Maokong, in the Wenshan district to the city's south, is a working tea area turned beloved teahouse destination — close enough for an easy outing, high enough to feel a world away.
Leaf Guide’s verified coverage in Maokong is still growing — this page lists what we have so far, drawn only from real, source-backed data. We’d rather show a little accurately than pad the page.
