Ruifang District, New Taipei City｜A-Mei Teahouse

We came slightly before lunchtime on a Saturday around 1130am. There wasn’t a queue and we could easily get a seat on the upper deck at the open area. There are other seating areas available, I’m not sure which one is the best but it seems most people opted to sit indoors maybe because it was a hot day. The outside area wasn’t too bad as it was windy and sheltered. The food options are limited and pricey but nicely presented and tasty. I went with the beef brisket with rice and the beef was tender and flavorful. I also had the tea set with some small snacks which was a delightful experience. The hot tea is free flow but the waiter is abit slow in refilling our tea. The iced fruit tea we ordered was also extremely refreshing and they were very generous with the fruits. Most importantly, we had an amazing view while having our meal. We wanted to stay longer but remembered we had to explore the rest of jiufen hence we left. While we were there, the place got pretty packed. What we heard was there is usually a long queue during lunchtime.

Great food and polite staff. Would recommend the tea set and stewed pork rice. The vegetarian fried rice is also very flavourful. However the price is a bit high. Staff will show you how to make your own tea. Tea tastes as per normal, nothing special.

Great tea house, which was less crowded than some of the other Jiufen ones. I loved the High Altitude Oolong, and the various snacks that it came it; the sesame crackers were the standouts.
