Wistaria Pu’erh Mini-Report [April/May 2016]
Wistaria (website) is an iconic, Taipei teahouse. The building itself is nearly 100 years old and lived through its share of history. As a teahouse, Wistaria and it’s proprietor (Zhou Yu) have played an important role in the development of modern chayi (tea art) and tea culture in Taiwan.

A vendor can provide value through a number of ways many of which have nothing to do with price. They can help by educating or teaching the customer about tea or by allowing the drinker to sample in the store.. It’s also worth mentioning that it’s well within the consumer’s right to search for what they deem a good price to buy their tea. After all, noone should buy a $6000 iphone. (more…)
