Wanpo Tea Shop

WANPO STORY

"After turning into the alley, you will see a brick red door, with an acerose tree at the entrance, that is my home."

In a time before GPS was invented, this was how I would direct the taxi driver to my home at the military family’s village. By the way, the taxi at the time was still dark red.

There are thousands upon thousands of stories on this island, reverberating the tranquil beauty of the ocean, echoing eternally in both space and time.

In Taiwan, every military family’s village has a hoard of stories relating to a cup of tea.

I grew up in a bittersweet environment. The military family’s village used to be a large community composed of people with various dialects, living habits, and tastes. These are the memories of my childhood that I seem to always come back to. Mingguang grocery store was the center hub where aunties and uncles from all over the neighborhood would gather to spend a whole afternoon making small talk over a cup of aiyu lemonade.

Wanpo wants to carry this legacy and continue passing it down for all to experience.

TASTE

The slicky and slippery bubbles were
sucked up along the straw with some milk tea, adding a touch of flavor with the mixed milk aroma and tea frag-
rance.
BUBBLE

Stewed in the liquid of golden
sugar No. 2 with slow fire, the
hot bubbles when mingled with
the icy milk tea produce a
strong chewy relish.
TEA

Indigenous tea transporting directly
from the plantation gives a smooth
mouthfeel and a lingering aftertaste
upon entering the throat, without
any tint of bitterness even remain
untouched for a long time.
