Tea drinking in Taiwan is akin to the high art of wine tasting in the west, and tea drinkers will gladly pay a few thousand Taiwan dollars for a half kilogram of good tea leaves. Mountainside tea-art shops and restaurants offering open-air tea drinking, dining, and picturesque views have become favorite destinations for city-dwellers. Next time when you are drained by daily work, you can unwind yourself in a teahouse where you can indulge in the traditional culture of tea-art.

The italicized sentence sounds as if it were written by the bureau for Taiwanese tourism. It certainly makes me want to visit a Taiwanese teahouse, but I don't think it belongs in a Wikipedia entry. I'm deleting it, and if anyone is overtly and intolerably offended, they can add it back.

The Taiwanese variant is derived from Chinese - brought by immigrants during the Tang, Ming and later dynasties. 129.2.227.119 17:28, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
