The owner of the tea vendor was brewing me tea

Leaving the long-established tea vendor, I headed to another tea vendor. In Taipei, there are tea vendors all over the place. Even if you are just walking around, you can't help but notice them. In particular, there are many tea stalls in Datong District. Walking around Chiayi, which is located near a tea-producing area, I had never seen so many tea shops, and the same was true in Tainan.

In the meantime, I arrived at the tea vendor I was aiming for. Incidentally, the store next to this one is also a tea vendor. When I entered the store, I was greeted by the owner, who explained about various kinds of tea. However, I am not an expert, so it is difficult for me to judge the quality of the tea just by listening to what he said or looking at the tea leaves. The quickest way was to taste the tea.

I guess the owner thought so, too. I finished his explanation early, and he was ready for me to taste the tea. In Taiwan, many stores like this one let you taste the tea. It is faster to let you try the tea than to explain in words. The tea I tasted was very tasty, but I was already full from all the tasting. While sipping the tea, I looked beyond the owner and saw a portrait of the previous owner hanging on the wall.
