Food: There were quite a few teas on the menu, but I was disappointed that many of them did not show any information about where the tea was from (region, estate, etc.), whether it was a blend or single-estate/single-leaf, what year it was for aged teas, and so on. For example, they had a first flush darjeeling, but where was it from? You would have to ask to figure it out. As far as tea preparation goes, I tried 4 different teas (2 visits). On the first visit I tried the 'ancient maiden' puerh and the 'wu long' oolong. Both tasted great, but you only get one steeping (a large or small pot).

Food: I LOVED this place! I've been reading about this place and been dying to go, finally got to go last night. LOVED the whole ambience, the pomegranate rosehip tea was lovely, the desserts were too good, but my cousins became obsessed with the xylitol. They actually bought a pound of this stuff. Too funny! The gentlemen waiting on us were so polite and helpful and very informative. I wil definitely come back! |

Food: I have enjoyed this tearoom since it opened. Recently, though, I had the opportunity to take a guest from Japan to visit. She said it reminded her of home and was very authentic. Since then she has returned to take friends of hers. She is as enthused about it as me. Beyond that the experience is serene and calming. The little extras offered are yummy. I don't share it with everyone but the ones I have taken there are all fans. |
