  • Collab 1035: Where Coffee Meets History TaiChung, Dec 2024

    Originally this building (since 1916) was used as an Otorhinolaryngology

    Taiwanese coffee scene is really hot. Every city seems to have lots of 3rd wave coffee hot spots. What’s the difference with Japanese one and theirs. From my point of view the attractions of the Space is much higher its of Taiwan. I could even feel the stories from the Taiwanese coffee shops. Maybe the owners love to choose those kinds of places. These places have interesting background stories. Like this shop which was originally build in 1916 (in the reign of Japan) as an Otorhinolaryngology!Their shop name “1035”was originated from their telephone number which at that moment very rare to have.

    Coffee and their homemade sweets was great. The place doesn’t limit the customers demographically. Foreigners, seniors, youngers all enjoy the time there very naturally. So its more European style than ours.Which I always wish to have here in Tokyo.

    Drip bag coffee was so fresh

    I regret I didn’t purchase some more drip bags here. It happens several times in Taiwan. After the trip, we can enjoy a nice cup of coffee. of course we will have memories of lovely spaces and imagine their stories.

    It’s much more than a museum café. Guests can purely enjoy the time of great Taiwanese tea in a cozy and quiet space. Chiou Shan Tang(秋山堂)is a sister company of Chun Shui Tang (春水堂)but the style is totally different. If you are someone who wants to discover the wonder of tea, let’s spend several hours here. They also offer some yummy dim sums.

    Spacious and not so crowded, imagine to spend several hours here with friends

    This atomosphere is difficult to find in Japan or maybe in Tai Pei.

    Each city’s population density tells us its main reason

    Tokyo =6,444/ ㎢

    Tai Pei =9,831㎢

    Tai Chung =1,291㎢

    practical and beautiful but I couldn’t find it online platforms

    Tea set seems to be very simple, but it was selected quite well. In China, people say to nurture a teapot. This is the one that is worth nurturing. I ordered the best Alisan tea, which they are proud of, and yes, the quality was high and the price was honest (At first glance, I thought it was a bit expensive but actually quite reasonable. Half of it is enough for the two of us to enjoy for around 2 hours (we can bring back the rest of the tea; the shop even offers sealing service).
