Dings Tea Introduction
In the city, enjoying a cup of freshly brewed high mountain tea at Ding’s Tea House, a brand founded by returning second-generation tea farmer Zhong Mingzhi and his unique sheepdog Ding Ding, is a delightful experience. Unlike the common tea shops in Taiwan, this establishment operates like a café, offering freshly brewed tea to resonate with the younger generation and bridge the gap in understanding the essence of Taiwanese tea. After returning to the tea industry, Zhong Mingzhi was surprised to discover that the number of young consumers of tea was alarmingly low. Many young people are drawn to the convenience and affordability of hand-shaken drinks, which creates a distance from traditional Taiwanese tea, leaving them unfamiliar with its culture and significance and hesitant to step into tea shops for more insight. Thus, the idea of providing an opportunity for Taiwanese tea and young people to connect became the original intention for establishing Ding’s Tea House. Ding’s Tea House has created a new way to enjoy tea, offering a comfortable and pressure-free space. Customers entering the tea house can choose a cozy seat, order from the tea menu at their leisure, and once the tea is brewed and served, they can savor the tea slowly or enjoy a novel from the shelf to accompany their drink. They might even sit at the bar and chat with the owner about his experiences in tea cultivation and production, as well as listen to stories related to tea, enabling guests to gain a fresh or deeper understanding of tea. We are fortunate to grow in a well-known tea-producing region in Taiwan. Through the operation of our tea house, we hope to give young friends who are still unfamiliar with Taiwanese tea an initial understanding, encouraging them to gradually develop the habit of enjoying a cup of tea in their daily lives. As winter quietly approaches, our winter special – osmanthus oolong tea – is warmly available, so do come in and enjoy the story of a good Taiwanese tea!
