Try Rose Garden Afternoon Tea

The Rose Garden was founded in 1990 by famous painter Huang Tenghui, who was also the first to introduce the British afternoon tea style to Taiwan. He not only brought the British afternoon tea culture, a symbol of elegance, but also incorporated Taiwanese flavors and introduced Taiwan's cultural creativity and unique characteristics. Rose gardens can be seen throughout Taiwan, including the British Consulate in Takao.

At the Classic Rose Garden at the British Consulate in Takao, you can enjoy British afternoon tea in a 100-year-old baroque building.
