Taipei City Tieguanyin Baozhong Tea Research and Promotion Center Introduction
The Taipei City Tieguanyin Baozhong Tea Research and Promotion Center is located in the Maokong area and was completed in 1985. It features a tea display area that introduces the tea production process and methods of tea tasting, among other tea-related knowledge; a tea arts teaching area providing guided teaching services by appointment on weekdays, with free tours offered by volunteers on weekends and holidays; and an outdoor teaching area located behind the center, where various plants are grown, including osmanthus, camellia, cherry blossoms, and green maple. This area also includes a parent-child recreation area, a tea garden, an ecological pond, a meteorological observation platform, and an artificial rainfall erosion channel to introduce knowledge about soil and water conservation, allowing the public to understand its importance. The promotion center combines agriculture, lifestyle, culture, and leisure, providing citizens with a great recreational spot while guiding them to gain deeper insights into the tea industry and culture of the Muzha area. The tea promotion center organizes 20 tea experience events each year, including tea picking experiences, tea arts teaching, and tea snack making. On Saturdays and Sundays, volunteers are arranged to provide free guided tours, while on weekdays (Tuesday to Friday), group appointments are only accepted, with groups needing to book two weeks in advance. The guiding content includes tea arts instruction and tours of the tea garden and ecological area.
