[Taichung] Wuwei Thatched Cottage: Enjoy a moment of elegance in the tranquility of the garden and Taiwanese tea 🍵

Tucked away in Taichung's downtown district, Wuwei Caotang is a tranquil tea house that offers a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Opened in 1994, this tea house features wooden buildings arranged around a beautiful central pond, creating an elegant space with connecting corridors and gazebos. The building incorporates traditional Taiwanese architectural styles with Japanese concepts of "wabi-sabi" and Zen, particularly the simple and refined aesthetic of Japanese gardens and tea houses. This fusion is a modern interpretation of the cultural influences Taiwan underwent during the Japanese colonial period (1895-1945).

The ambiance, blended with Japanese elements, invites visitors into a tranquil moment.

At Wuwei Caotang, you can enjoy high-quality Taiwanese tea made with carefully selected tea leaves from Taiwan's renowned tea-producing regions, such as Lugu and Alishan. While experiencing traditional tea ceremony, you can also enjoy a wide variety of snacks and meals, including brown sugar steamed buns. Known as a paradise within the city, this spot is perfect for travelers seeking a relaxing retreat.

Enjoy a moment immersed in Taiwan's tea culture while overlooking the tranquil garden.
