Lu-Yu Tea Culture Institute Before heading to Taiwan, I had contacted Steven R. Jones (瓊斯史迪芬), who writes online as Sherdwen. Steven is a Tea Master at the Lu Yu Tea Culture Institute (tel 02.2331.6636, ext 9). Steven, an affable American expat, has embraced Asian tea culture with an enthusiasm that I surmise he invests in all his projects. When I let him know that I would be in Taiwan, and was interested in learning more about the work of the Institute, he issued me a very warm welcome and arranged to show me about the place. I took a taxi one afternoon, when I had a three-hour chink in my long daily schedule, to the address Steven had given me (3F, no. 64, Heng-Yang Road), and -- to my surprise -- found myself at the doors of Ten Ren. Imagine a department store five stories high, all devoted to tea, tea-ware, and tea culture in general: this is the Taipei Ten Ren. The first floor is Ten Ren proper; the second floor houses 'Cha for Tea,' intended to provide a livelier, ...

When I drink tea, I prefer to enjoy the tea experience exclusively (usually no foods). but let's discuss the topic of teas and foods, the tea needs to be brewed (tea brewer or tea master) and sometimes a tea server will work together with the tea drinking/serving/brewing. If the tea is to be served with a meal, a tea master should make a standard set of flexible suggestions teas/foods and then passed on to the tea servers, "tea stewards". Usually when arranging a tea/foods menu I will suggest sweeter foods or fish with green teas, pork or salty foods with oolongs , and steak or sour foods with black teas. Or the time of day can also be used to determine what type of tea to serve. An example starting in the morning, green tea, mid-day oolong, afternoon, black tea, evening, puerh, also an after dinner tea can be a scented/flower tea. But like any thing there is no strict laws, we can only suggest, the real choice is up to the guest or customer.
