Zheng Yuan Tea | NT$9 Nostalgic Aluminum Foil Ice Pack, a Summer Memory for Taichung Residents
At the long-established tea shop "Zheng Yuan Tea" in Taichung's North District, you can buy the purest refreshment—the small refrigerator at the entrance is filled with "tin foil square tea bags" that are brewed in-house and contain no preservatives. Each bag costs only NT$9, instantly bringing back memories of lunchbox drinks for those born in the 1960s and 1970s.
Classic and refreshing flavors: black tea, green tea, roselle, and winter melon. The tea aroma is rich but not cloying, and it's even smoother when chilled. It's hard to leave empty-handed. To preserve the pure flavor, the store recommends refrigerating for 4-5 days and freezing for up to 3 months. Buy some to keep at home and chill them, then tear one open to cool off. Travelers who prefer takeout can also buy ten packs at once and enjoy them at the park or back at the hotel.
Zheng Yuan is backed by over 30 years of experience in local tea wholesale. Relying on a stable tea source and traditional techniques, they've turned the old-fashioned flavors into "high-value little joys": without flashy packaging, they win hearts with honest prices and familiar tea aromas. Next time you pass through the North District, why not stop by, grab a bag of these nostalgic treats, and let a bite of icy sweetness make everyday life in Taichung even more wonderful?
