Jade leaves teahouse is incredible!

The aesthetics are unbelievable - like walking in to a little piece of China right in the middle of Austin. The food was delicious and I found it inspiring that there are still restaurants where people care about the food they are preparing and serving. Everything we had was organic and homemade, and though it was a bit pricier than the average lunch spot, I don't mind paying a bit extra for a high quality meal. The staff is very helpful- if you're like me and don't know a lot about green tea, or tea in general (but thoroughly enjoy it), they will give detailed information as well as make recommendations.

What impressed me the most, however, was their dinner menu.

The dishes I experienced had tremendous depth of flavor with great textures and interesting combinations. Also, the food is very clean. I felt fabulous eating it.

Their dinner menu changes weekly, and is updated weekly on their website.

I had tea at this tea room and thought it was so delicious. The food, service and hospitality was wonderful. I will definately return and bring my friends. FYI I think that Jim, who reviewed this tea room just wanted to let the whole world know that he thought he was a somebody and knew tea better than everyone else. WE had a great time regardless!!

What P.F Chang’s is to authentic Chinese food, Jade Leaves is to authentic Chinese Tea.

Walking through their immense collection of Chinese scholar stones (largest I have seen in Austin) and the wonderful decorative features in the building I truly expected something wonderful. What I discovered, however, was absolute tea mediocrity.

I am an oolong and puerh tea drinker, and though the tea selection was large, oolongs and puerhs are the portion of the menu that I am most competent to comment upon.

All of the oolongs were from fall of 2006—one year ago. Not only was 2006 a poor year for Taiwanese oolongs, but the fall harvest produces oolongs of the lowest quality. Further, most of the lightly oxidized oolongs only have a shelf-life of 3-6 months depending o... (more)

at least four pages of tea selections. I had Yerba Mate and it was delicious. The food menu is relatively small, but every morsel is mouthwatering. The stir fried rice with tofu was outstanding. Very fresh vegetables and organic meats available. Top notch! Dining area has several more public tables and then several booths that are almost small rooms for privacy. Beautiful dark wood dividers. The back room is an art gallery of fine jade and other Chinese artifacts.
