Afternoon tea Tearoom is a place that sells, not-so-surprisingly, tea and other beverages, as well as desserts, sandwiches, salads and pre-packaged foods. All the black teas sold here are specially-selected brands from India and Sri Lanka, which is a unique feature among tea houses around the city. There are 16 different black teas for customers to choose from and these are served in several ways, such as British-style milk tea, Indian milk tea, various flavored iced teas, and Orange Earl Iced Tea. The desserts that go with these authentic teas are made with large amounts of fresh fruit and include Strawberry and Chocolate Cake, a Fruit Tart, and Banana/Kiwi Egg Rolls. Although the portions are quite small, the meticulous presentation and delicate flavors are definitely worth it. --By Dionysus, translated by Ann Lee

A.Afternoon Tea Tearoom is decorated in a Victorian style, with silver mirrors, chandeliers and an enormous mural representing the spirit of "A Sakura Flower Afternoon Tea Feast". The entire place is also festooned with plants, flowers and special lighting.

B. Sweet Fruit Tea(NT$150)is very popular among the customers. All the teas are made with fresh fruit that blends perfectly with the flavors of the leaves. The Fruit Tart (NT$130) is a great choice for dessert.
