Pinglin Tea Museum, New Taipei City Introduction
Established in 1997, the Pinglin Tea Museum is located by the Beishi River in Pinglin District, covering nearly 3 hectares. It features a Fujian-style siheyuan building, incorporating the subtle beauty of Jiangnan gardens with contemporary architectural vocabulary, creating an elegant and tranquil hall of tea culture. The museum includes exhibition halls, experience centers, tea art classrooms, and regularly hosts various tea-themed special exhibitions to introduce the Taiwanese tea industry and both domestic and foreign tea cultures to the public. It also offers a variety of engaging educational activities, reinterpreting the limitless possibilities of "tea" in contemporary times, narrating countless touching stories beneath the fresh leaves of one bud and two leaves, guiding everyone to discover the beauty of nature and culture in the aroma of tea, and seeing the most beautiful cultural scenery in tea villages. Do you know how many processes tea leaves go through from picking to drying? From picking tea leaves -> withering in sunlight and hot air -> indoor resting -> frying leaves -> rolling -> first drying -> second drying. At the New Taipei City Pinglin Tea Museum, you can learn a lot of "tea knowledge" through on-site graphic displays, video explanations, and guided tours, introduced to visitors in a lively manner. In addition, there is an "experience area" in the museum, allowing for an easy exploration of the endless mysteries of the tea world through tactile, olfactory, auditory, and hands-on experiences.
