Wisteria Tea House the Beautiful Fort of Reform Movement
Wisteria Tea House was a place full of beauty and vitality, full of contradiction and experiment. It was the birthplace of life, the birthplace of art, the birthplace of thought, and the birthplace of people.
Wisteria Tea House was the center for cultural activities in the late 70. The political dissenters and the new generation of society elites often gathered in the teahouse. Walked inside the teahouse, three old wisterias was the symbol of the teahouse and how it got its name.
Wisteria Tea House turned into the Tea House in 1981; it was the first humanity teahouse in Taiwan. They provided the new way to enjoy drinking tea. It was declared a Taipei City historical site in 1997. In January of 2003, the Taipei City Cultural Bureau formally turned the operation of the teahouse over to the Wisteria Cultural Association, which heralded a new era for this “public space of Dao”. Several exhibitions were held in Wisteria Tea House every month.
