Northern Taiwan Tea Weekend

北台灣茶週末

Two days from Taipei's modern tea rooms into the misty Baozhong hills of Pinglin and back.

A weekend that pairs the polish of the capital with the green hills of Pinglin, the heart of Baozhong country. Day one is slow city tea culture; day two is a farm tasting and a walk along the tea terraces with a grower cooperative.

Mountain weather shifts quickly; pack a layer and check conditions for day two.
Verify each venue's current opening status on its official source before planning around it.
