Meinong Lei Tea

Reserve the food if you want to go there. They advertise a lot but have limited dish each days. Leicha (擂茶) is tea powder with nuts, a Hakka drinks with snacks. Different from SEA version with rice, but both vegetarian and vegan dish.nnThe restaurant looks touristy, yet fun for first time visitors. There’s free Hakka outfit for free that you can try, Leicha is $150TWD/ person with some snacks. Everything else charges extra. But some items there with store logo are not even made in Taiwan, will not recommended you to get it. Food was good, specially recommended cabbage and peanuts tofu which are specialize dish in Meiniung(美濃uff09. However, tobacco rice set (菸葉飯uff09just ran out few hours after opening... if you like to try it, call and reserved it in advance. Overall it was a nice experiences but will suggest the store to notify guest what’s the remaining dishes and how long you need to wait before entering. Better communicate to set up guest’s expatiation helps!

Such an interesting place to experience a traditional Hakka style tea time. Every customer has the opportunity to grind mixture of nuts, sesame, red bean, rice crisp, etc. The ground powder mix with hot water creates a delicious drink/porridge. The taste reminds me of my childhood.

This is a super authentic tea house. Recommended.

Thank you for the wonderful experience.

Lots of Hakka snacks and friendly owners but not the cheapest place in town to buy things
