EP98 Taipei Wenshan District | Reaching India

Episode 98 takes us to Taipei's Wenshan District — home of the Maokong Gondola, the Taipei Zoo, and the hillside tea plantations where Muzha Tieguanyin tea has been grown for over a century. The gondola rises from the zoo at the valley floor up to Maokong, where tea houses dot the mountain and the city skyline glitters below. We eat Tieguanyin tea cuisine — dishes where the locally grown tea is used as an ingredient, infusing everything from chicken to noodles with its distinctive roasted flavour — and Muzha Goose, the neighbourhood's beloved simple specialty: tender poached goose served cold with a ginger-scallion dip. Over these homey Taipei flavours, we witness the most extraordinary moment in the whole journey — the team finally arrives at India, sheds their mortal bodies, and meets the Buddha. Then things get complicated.Location: Wenshan DistrictFood: Tieguanyin Tea Cuisine | Muzha Goose
