尋一隅隱身之所

漫穿幽暗窄巷抖落紛擾塵事

緣光之明滅聞聲之輕重
巷盡敞開門豁然成廣闊

舊時昔事交疊粼粼波光
日新初識蒸餾滴滴醇真
一觴一茗詠嘆縈縈餘韻

任風味馳騁味蕾任回憶激盪想像

[ tei ] by O'Bond 沓沓仔・明茗茶酒研究室，以台灣記憶為原點，譜寫茶之風味篇章。主理人透過實驗分析，訴說對於風味的再詮釋，譜出精巧的研究式茶酒，擴張味蕾、嘗試對於茶酒滋味的感知想像。

[ tei ] by O'Bond, a unique concept rooted in Taiwanese memory, crafts a narrative of tea's flavor through Tauh-Tauh-a - Ming Ming's Tea & Liquor Research Lab. The visionary behind this project delves into experimental analysis to reinterpret the essence of flavor, composing intricate, research-inspired Tea-Infused Cocktails. This venture expands the sensory horizons, challenging and reimagining the conventional perceptions of Tea-Infused cocktail tastes.

紅銹鐵壁面與樹皮門氣質翩翩地闡述著茶、酒與人情之溫潤。基地面向車流呼嘯不絕的光復南路，採用「以空間置入空間」概念、「造訪至迴遊」的動線佈局，打造如詩的境地。

樸實低調的入口，一條幽暗窄巷不迎不拒的存在，腳邊晦澀的微光伴隨發酵時嘎吱的聲響，不由得放慢速度循著格柵翳影前行。心隨緩步沉澱，豁然開朗處是泛照悠揚日光的茶室，香氣瀰漫的茶亭與長凳共築日常風景，恍如孩提時阿公總是乘涼的公園樹下，景色親切恬靜。

Amidst the dynamic streets of Guangfu South Road, a space where the rustic charm of rusted iron and wood narrates a warm tale of tea, wine, and human connection. This concept, embracing "space within a space" and a "circular flow", weaves a poetic ambiance.

Entering through a simple, dimly lit alley, the pace slows, leading to a sunny tea room. This haven, filled with the aroma of tea, evokes serene memories, reminiscent of tranquil, shaded spots in a park, familiar and calming.

隱匿的酒室必須透過「奉茶」儀式方能進入，夜晚賓客到來之際，隆重地奉上一杯茶湯，通往酒室之門旋即敞開。典雅的綠蛇紋岩地磚、藤編織的酒櫃與餐櫥映入眼簾，眨眼間依稀看見菜櫥前阿嬤殷勤的身影。

座位區後方邁向深處的紅銹鐵斑駁與門面相互輝映，亦象徵發酵過程的質變，串連起內外空間。於吧台的坐席上客人能興然嚐試與心情契合的風味，透過工作區架高地坪，促使客人與調酒師視線水平，彼此之間能更適切的交流。

To enter the hidden bar, guests participate in a unique "tea serving" ritual. At night, this tea ceremony marks the entrance to the bar. Inside, the décor, featuring green serpentine tiles and wicker liquor cabinets, brings back nostalgic memories.

The seating area, against a backdrop of rusted iron, represents the change brought by fermentation, connecting the space's interior and exterior. In the bar, an elevated floor design ensures comfortable interactions with bartenders, enhancing the overall experience and making conversations more engaging.

以台灣寺廟文化「右進左出」的動線，自然的引導顧客完整的體驗。

走在［ tei ］裡，隨腳步的移動體驗明與暗的交錯變化，所到之處氣氛亦漸次轉移，研究室主人的實驗路且慢且行，捧著熾熱之心邀請訪客入內探尋，窺探關於風味的無限異彩，推開粗獷木皮門離去的那刻鐘，獨特的感官記憶從此印記。

In [ tei ], the journey is as much about the changing ambiance as it is about the destination. The play of light and shadow alters the mood as you move, echoing the lab owner's thoughtful exploration of flavors. Inviting guests to discover this world, the experience culminates in leaving with a lasting impression, a sensory memory uniquely tied to this place.
