Bao An Tang Introduction
A century-old pharmacy that has been passed down for three generations continuously innovates, developing tea drinks that cater to modern people's preferences for health and beauty. With a prior appointment, visitors can also tour the pharmacy filled with ancient artifacts. The Vitality Tea is a popular product in the store, with a sweet taste that can boost immunity. It is said that followers of Master Cheng Yen often purchase this to present to the master. On the day of our visit, someone came to buy Chinese medicine to brew alcohol, combining the ingredients with 15 kinds of herbs, including Ten Ingredients and Millennium Dragon Bone. The owner claimed it was better than XO. "Bao An Tang" has reached its third generation, and owner Chen Hsin-hsiung is preparing to pass it on to the fourth generation, his daughter-in-law Chen Shih-hui-mei. Due to its rich history, all the utensils in the store have a story; the cups and plates were used by former provincial governor Chou Shih-rou 50 years ago. The owner is particularly proud of the Huanghuali scale and bamboo scale, claiming they are more valuable than gold. Recommended products: Sour Plum Soup, Roselle Tea, Grass Tea, and Liu Shen Mei.
