In Taiwan most people drink tea, and tea is not only a drink, but also a culture. Many people visit one of the numerous traditional teahouses or "tea-art" shops, located all over Taiwan.
Teaware
The typical Taiwanese family owns at least one set of teaware at home. Many people collect teapots as a hobby. Most families in Taiwan have Yixing clay teapots at home. Traditionally, "raising the teapot" at home is a way of life in Taiwan. Teapots are used to brew teas intensively so that the surface of the teapot becomes "bright". This process is called "raising the teapot", which enhances the beauty of the clay teapot. Tea stores are virtually everywhere in Taiwan. In big cities like Taipei one can easily find tea for sale on nearly every city block.
