...I'm going to be spending the first week in June at Computex (the largest Taiwanese computer show). I thought I might try and visit a tea plantation or two. Are there any good ones near Taipei?
What about good places to buy tea in Taipei?
I could possibly make a trip to some other part of Taiwan as well. Any suggestions?
There are a good number of wonderful teahouses in Taiwan (a google search will pull up plenty.) I can highly recommend one in Taibei itself - it's been years since I've visited, but it had a good selection of teas and great atmosphere (it's a historic old house tucked away in a quiet lane in the middle of the city, not far from National Taiwan University). There's a photo of it, as well as other local tea houses on this link:
Address: Wisteria Tea House (紫藤廬) Wisteria Tea House is located at 1, Lane 16, Sec 3, Xinsheng S Rd, Taipei. (新生南路3段16巷1號, 靠和平東路口).
Have a great trip!

Zitenglu (Wisteria tea house) definitely deserves a visit. If you want to see some plantation without going to far form Taibei, you can go to Maokong, on the hill south of the city. L
Apologies for that mess of numbers there (just ignore them) - they were Chinese characters in the source at which I'd found the address... sp
Try Nantou county, there are something you could never imagine, won't say more to disturb your interest on exploring :)
