Liu Alley Handmade Drinks Introduction
In the ancient capital of Tainan, you can easily discern a person's background through their food and drink choices, not necessarily their wealth or professional status, but rather the cultural depth and lifestyle attitudes they possess. In this historical city, an ordinary housewife might appreciate the nuances of tea, finding her preferred flavors. After sending her children to school, she heads to Liuxiang Tea Lane with her own cup, requesting the staff to prepare her personalized version of Guanyin tea. Or perhaps it’s a middle-aged man who has just finished a traditional Tainan breakfast and plans to enjoy a cup of tea afterward; as soon as he enters the shop, no words are needed, as the staff swiftly prepares his oolong tea. For the artisans who specialize in roasting the tea leaves for Liuxiang, the annual climate conditions of the tea-growing regions—whether there is abundant rainfall, sunlight, or fog—affect the growth of the tea plants. They meticulously adjust the roasting schedule for each batch of tea, ensuring customers receive consistently high-quality tea. What is offered at Liuxiang is not just a cup of authentic Taiwanese tea and thoughtful brewing techniques that cater to various tastes, but also a natural tea flavor that embodies the warmth of the people living within the backdrop of this ancient city.
