Liu Xiang Handmade Beverages Introduction
In the ancient city of Tainan, it's easy to discern someone's background through their food and drink choices, not necessarily their wealth or profession, but rather the cultural depth and lifestyle attitude they embody. In this historic city, a seemingly ordinary housewife might possess a refined taste for tea, finding her favorite flavor and, after sending her children to school, heading to Liu Alley Tea Lane with her own cup to have the staff adjust her personalized Kuan Yin tea. Perhaps a middle-aged man, after enjoying a traditional Tainan breakfast, plans to have a cup of tea afterward; upon entering the shop, no words are needed, as the staff promptly prepares Oolong tea for him. For the artisans who specifically roast tea leaves for Liu Alley, the yearly climate conditions of the tea-producing regions—such as rainfall, sunlight, and cloud cover—affect the growth of the tea plants. They carefully adjust the roasting schedules for each batch of tea to ensure customers enjoy the most consistently high-quality tea. What is sold in Liu Alley is not simply a cup of authentic Taiwanese tea and the empathetic tea brewing techniques catering to different customers' tastes, but also the natural tea flavors that reflect the warmth of the people living in this ancient urban backdrop.
