It also organizes rich and engaging educational promotional activities to reinterpret the limitless possibilities of tea in contemporary times, telling countless captivating stories beneath the tender buds of a heart and two leaves, leading everyone to discover the beauty of nature and culture amidst the aroma of tea, witnessing the most beautiful cultural landscapes of tea country. Do you know how many processes tea leaves undergo from picking to drying? From tea picking -> withering under sunlight and hot air -> indoor resting -> pan-firing -> rolling -> first drying -> second drying. At the Pinglin Tea Museum in New Taipei City, you can learn a lot of "tea knowledge" through on-site graphic displays, video explanations, and guided tours, introducing visitors in vivid and lively ways. Additionally, the museum features an "experience area" where you can explore the infinite wonders of the tea world through fun and interactive methods such as touching, smelling, listening, and hands-on activities.
