Pinglin Tea Museum, New Taipei City Introduction
The Pinglin Tea Museum, established in 1997, is located by the Beishi River in Pinglin District and covers an area of nearly 3 hectares. The building features a traditional Minnan-style courtyard architecture reminiscent of Anxi, blending the graceful beauty of Jiangnan gardens with contemporary architectural elements to create an elegant and serene tea culture palace. The museum includes exhibition halls, experience areas, and tea art classrooms, and regularly hosts various tea-related themed exhibitions to help the public understand Taiwan's tea industry and both Chinese and foreign tea cultures. It also organizes a rich variety of educational promotion activities, reinterpreting the infinite possibilities of "tea" in contemporary times and telling countless touching stories behind the tender buds of two leaves and a heart, guiding everyone to discover the beauty of nature and culture in the aroma of tea, while showcasing the most beautiful cultural landscapes of tea regions. Do you know how many processes tea leaves undergo from picking to drying? From picking tea buds -> withering in sunlight and warm air -> indoor resting -> pan-firing -> rolling -> first drying -> second drying. At the New Taipei City Pinglin Tea Museum, you can learn a lot of "tea knowledge," introduced to visitors in a vivid and engaging manner through on-site visual displays, video explanations, and guided tours. In addition, the museum also features an "Experience Area," where visitors can explore the wonders of the tea world through fun tactile, olfactory, auditory, and hands-on experiences.
