        "Chamizhuang Manor Hand Shake Drink" is located in the Pitang Ecological Park, Bade District, Taoyuan City. It is only open on Saturdays, Sundays and national holidays, and sometimes has irregular holidays. There are a lot of seats in front of the square, and there is also Japanese checi-in, which is the favorite of netizens. Here, you can enjoy all kinds of drinks, chat about everyday things, and forget about mundane things for a while.

        Listening to Jay Chou's "Blue and White Porcelain", along with a slight drizzle, my friend and I drove to Bade Pond Ecological Park. We thought it should be an uninhabited and desolate place, but when we looked at the traffic at the entrance of the park ahead, we couldn't help but feel ridiculous for our ignorance. Although the park seems small, the parking lot can accommodate at least 50 or 60 cars, but even the roads on both sides near the entrance are full of cars, and it is such a cloudy and rainy day.

        "You get out of the car first, I'll find a parking space." The friend said. So I walked into the park alone, and saw many stalls such as coin-operated karaoke, chicken cakes, lo-mei shops, grilled sausages, etc. The vendors warmly invited tourists to stop and taste. At this time, I suddenly found that not far from the parking lot, there seemed to be an endless stream of people. Driven by curiosity, I decided to find out.

        The first thing that catches the eye is the Japanese-style decoration of the courtyard. A shelf full of Japanese-style lanterns stands next to the entrance, setting off the little cherry blossoms that have not yet grown up. In front of it is a Japanese-style low house built by a one-story-high iron house, with the three characters "Chamizhuang" hanging high on a red background and white characters.

        Although the appearance is Japanese style, the counter has a dark industrial British style. There is a carousel at the door, which attracts the attention of children. The menu on the side is also written in nifty and neat handwriting. and. In the tourist rest area, in addition to ordinary wooden tables and chairs, large parasols are also placed to protect the guests from the sun and rain. The most special thing is that some tables are made of discarded cable reels. It seems that the boss should also love it. People who cherish things and care about environmental protection.

        "いらっしゃいませ!" The Japanese-style "Welcome" brought me back to reality from my thoughts. The proprietress was wearing a Japanese kimono, tied with a Japanese style, and the boss was wearing an apron. They both smiled and said hello to me. "What kind of tea would you like to have today?" Later, I and my friend who had just parked the car each ordered a cup of the proprietress's special blend - honey peach and passion lemon black tea, and we started chatting with the proprietor and his wife.

        It turns out that "Chami Village" is their side business. "Chami" is the Taiwanese pronunciation of "tea", which was originally to commemorate the owner's beloved dog "Chami". Although it is a side business, the boss is not sloppy at all. From designing and decorating the storefront to finding tea manufacturers to buy goods, he does his homework bit by bit and does it himself. He even went from Taoyuan to Nantou to taste tea before he found the Sijichun used today. Tea and coffee beans are also imported by manufacturers from Brazil, Colombia and Isobia. The tea used for black tea is imported from Sri Lanka, one of the three major producing countries in the world. The aroma of Ceylon black tea is specially blended with various dried fruits. Tea is really memorable.

        From laymen who didn't know how to make tea and drink, they turned into experts who can easily grab a cup of tea. They really put a lot of effort into it. Although it took a lot of time and cost in the initial stage and also took the risk of bankruptcy, the two of them insisted on their original intentions and survived. It was a group of friends who supported them along the way. It turns out that the boss and the proprietress usually treat people kindly and make good connections. In the early days of Chami Zhuang, there were many friends who helped to arrange, taste drinks, make suggestions, and promote them to relatives and friends around them. Now the store is full of business. They can be said to be behind the scenes.

        "What is the belief that makes you not afraid of hardships and come to Chami Zhuang to make tea early in the holiday?" After listening to our doubts, the owner and his wife looked at each other and smiled, "Our original intention was to provide guests with a no-hassle, A place where you can relax and talk, with this friendly restaurant for parents, children and pets, you can temporarily stay away from the hustle and bustle of the city, taste the good tea we make with your heart, and heal each guest.”

        For those who like sugar-free drinks, there is the Four Seasons Spring Tea from Zhushan in Nantou; for those who are brave enough to explore, the shop also offers the special mix of the proprietress of Ceylon black tea with dried fruit, as well as various scented teas such as honey peach red, blueberry red, and passion lemon red. , signature milk tea, and even iced lemon green mountain powder balls, fruity smoothies... and other items. If you want to try other drinks, the store also offers premium latte and American coffee, as well as citron tea and health-boosting throat-soothing tea from South Korea. Enjoy the leisurely fun.

        A beautiful trip requires the perfect combination of time, place, and people. Thank you for choosing the right time this time. I didn’t take a trip in vain. It’s not far from the highway, so it’s very convenient to visit. Coupled with the handsome, chatty, beautiful and gentle boss couple, they accompany us to spend a pleasant afternoon. If I have the opportunity, I will definitely visit again and look forward to more surprises.
