两年前的夏天,有位朋友向我推荐了这间优雅的茶馆 / 餐厅, 从此这里就成为我在台北最爱的地方之一。在东区的喧嚣繁忙之中,这间店的沈静氛围实在难得,而店内的精美装璜和高雅的商品陈列,无一不反映出本店老板陈夏姿的出众品味。

 

I was first introduced to Cha Cha Thé two summers ago by a friend, and this elegant teahouse/restaurant has remained one of my favorite spots in Taipei ever since. It is a most welcomed center of calm admist the dizzying Taipei Eastern district, with beautiful interior design and tasteful merchandising that hint at the background of its owner Shiatzy Chen.

And there are other items tastefully placed here and there throughout the space.

巴哈的大提琴组曲轻柔飘扬在空中,和这个沈静优雅的空间可说是相得益彰。

 

The simple, soothing melody of Bach’s Cello Suites was floating through the air, perfectly befitting for the composed space.

再仔细靠近一看,你会发现内部的墙由茶砖建造而成,让室内多了一息淡雅的茶香。

 

Upon closer inspection, you will notice that the inner wall is built from tea bricks, subtly perfuming the air.

下午茶套餐, 包含一壶热茶和任选两样甜点, 价格根据所选的茶而定,由480-580 NTD不等(加上10%服务费)。你也可选择单点的茶和甜点(每人最低消费 300 NTD加10%服务费)

 

The afternoon tea set, inclusive of a pot of tea and two desserts of choice, ranges from 480 to 580 NTD (+10% service charge) depending on the type of tea you order. A la carte orders of tea and desserts are also available (minimum spend 300 NTD/person).

我们试了南非花草茶 (Flowered Rooibos), 一款亮橘色,带有柔和花香调的花草茶,还有名为 东方美人(Oriental Beauty),闪耀着迷人的琥珀色泽的优雅的乌龙茶。

 

We tried the Flowered Rooibos (南非花草茶), a vibrantly orange-colored tea characterized by its soft floral notes, and the Oriental Beauty (东方美人), an elegant blend of Oolong tea with a bright amber luster and a sweet aftertaste.

菜单上的八样甜点(包含两样咸点)看起来都很诱人,因此我们踌躇犹豫了一番,终于在亲切服务生的协助之下好不容易挑选了四样。第一款是大吉岭海绵蛋糕,每口都是柔软、蓬松、轻盈、柔和的红茶香。

 

All eight dessert options (including two savory items) looked very tempting, so it took us a while and the help of our gracious waiter to pick out four. The first was a Darjeeling sponge cake - soft, fluffy, light, and fragrant with the soothing black tea flavor.

我们接着品尝了橙香黑巧克力砖糕。点缀着碎核桃的巧克力蛋糕本已浓郁醉人,而添入了带有馥郁橙香的干邑橙酒后,风味更是提升了一个层次。

 

Next was the dark chocolate with Grand Marnier cake, two triangular blocks of decadently rich chocolate cake punctuated with chopped walnuts and the ambrosial orange flavor of Grand Marnier.

下一道养生香草紫米塔是个十足的惊喜。柔软的塔皮与台湾凤梨酥表皮的质地相仿, 轻柔包覆住香气迷人却不过分甜腻的紫米内馅, 让人赞叹不已的美味。

 

We were wowed by the black rice with vanilla tart, a beautiful combination of east and west. The tart, soft like the shell of Taiwanese pineapple cakes, envelops a vanilla black rice filling that was rich in flavor but not overly sweet. Double like.

最后一道是抹茶风味水果塔, 令人失望的是入口几乎察觉不到抹茶香, 卡士达酱也不够浓稠。早知如此我应该听从侍者的建议, 改点黑芝麻鲜炖奶。唉。

 

Lastly there was the matcha fruit tart, which disappointed me a little as the green tea flavor was barely there and the custard was too runny. I wish I had ordered the panna cotta with black sesame as suggested by our waiter.

在结帐柜抬时, 服务人员为我们递上店家自制的牛轧糖和黑枣核桃糕。好吃,好吃。

 

At the cashier, we were presented with some complimentary candies – house made nougats and black date walnut cake, both quite delicious.

采采食茶文化依旧名列我个人最爱的台北下午茶名单中。谦恭有礼的店员、美味的点心和优雅的气氛 - 这里绝对是个值得稍做停留,好好感受的地方。

 

Cha Cha Thé remains one of my favorite afternoon tea spots in Taipei. Courteous staff, delicious food, beautiful ambience. Come, and stay for a while.
