Ten Ren's Tea Time
This place is great if you just want to buy some high end Chinese tea. They also sell bubble tea, but I have been there twice and it seems like more of a retail place than a place where you can order the tea for a sit down gong fu session. The people behind the counter have different levels of knowledge--and they have pushed the high grade (and very expensive) stuff on me with no other explanation as to why other than 'we drink a lot of tea in Taiwan, so we like to drink good tea'. Still, despite some minor flaws, the staff is nice and well-meaning and this is probably the only place where you can go and smell the tea you want to try before buying it. Worth a visit if you are in the area and can find it in the back corner of an obscure strip mall. They also sell teapots and the like--Chinese style (yixing and such).
