It is said that Shennong the Great tasted all kinds of herbs, and then there was the development of agriculture and medicine. next to the Sanyu Palace in Taipei, where the Heavenly Mother worshiped the Emperor Shennong, a grocery store inherited from his grandmother was transformed into a wild grass tea shop "Sanyu".

Taking the 616 bus all the way to Tianmu, we passed the overseas Chinese School in Taiwan, the United States and Japan, and stopped at the Sanyu Palace and walked into the weed tea shop on the corner. Su Lizhong, the owner and tea maker, was preparing sacrifices. Sister Zhou Peiyi poured the cooled Shuangcao tea into a large bottle. Sister Zhou Yijing and Su Lizhong took bottles and dried fruit and went to the Sanyu Palace not far from next door to worship Shennong the Great.

The San Yu is not big, but it is the place that Zhou Yijing and Zhou Peiyi are most familiar with. "this used to be Grandma's grocery store. When I came back from school, I would sit on the chair at the door and chat with my classmates." Zhou Yijing recalls that now the original grocery store space was divided into three parts. My brother sold chicken steaks on the other end near the Sanyu Palace, while he and his second sister Peiyi opened a weed tea shop on the other end.

Walking into the Sanyu, the most appropriate description is "petite and exquisite." the small space can hold about 8 to 10 people, with only seats without a table. Zhou Yijing explained that this is to create the feeling of sitting in front of the temple, chatting and eating snacks. For the elderly who are not convenient to move their knees and legs, there is also a higher seating area at the rear.

After Zhou Yijing told her friend Su Lizhong about the idea of opening the shop, the two of them saw the legend of Shennong the Great worshiped by three jade palaces, and thought of the legend that Shennong tasted all kinds of herbs, so the idea of a wild grass tea shop was born. Su Lizhong also became the tea maker of Sanyu.

Su Lizhong, who has an insect background and used to work in the catering industry and later focused on food farmers' education, says that in the past, he was accustomed to natural contact with ecology, and then gradually learned to contact and interact with people in food farmers' education. in the process, he came into contact with many farmers. and local residents with traditional skills, and learn how to live with the land.

After coming into contact with people from all kinds of backgrounds and promoting food farmer education on the front line for several years, Su Lizhong hoped to rein in his past experience in food farmer education, and happened to meet his friend Zhou Yijing who wanted to open a shop. Su Li-Chung believes: "it takes a base to rein in and sort out the things that food farmer education comes into contact with, and tea is one of the media closest to life." The three Jade has become a medium for sharing the link between food and land through actual goods.
