Wenfeng Tea House Introduction
The ancestors of the Chen family migrated from Quanzhou, Fujian during the Qing Tongzhi era and settled next to the "Wu Garden" of the wealthy businessman Wu Shangxin at Fangqiaotou, a history that spans 138 years. The Wenfeng Tea Shop has been passed down through three generations, and starting from the fourth generation, it has been sequentially handed down among siblings. The fourth-generation Chen Fu-lin first passed it to his eldest son, Chen Yu-lin, who then passed it on to his sister who managed it for over twenty years. It was later inherited by the current sixth generation, Chen Yu-hsiung and Huang Yu-mei. The shop is not large, but it features various antiquated tea utensils, tea cakes, and old tea barrels, making it a great place for those interested in the development of tea culture in Tainan to visit.
