Hui Fu Teas Concept

Originally established in Kaohsiung’s Yancheng District, Hui Fu Teas Concept relocated to TMC with a “music teahouse” concept.

Guests order by listening to a cassette recording of the menu—a fun, nostalgic experience. Signature dishes are infused with Taiwanese tea, and the shop also sells bottled teas and utensils. Don’t miss the Oriental Beauty Tea Pudding—it’s soft, aromatic, and often sells out!
