Description


Beyond the quick-service counter, the shop features a seating area and a clean, well-organized interior. The menu centers on six tea bases, yielding drinks like the orange high tea mountain pouchong and bubble milk teas with soft, honey-sweetened pearls, served in distinctively designed cups. Visitors can pause for a free 20-minute tasting to smell and sample five Lishan oolongs, or book a formal Tea Ceremony Experience. While prices lean high, the space is set up to encourage staying rather than just grabbing a drink to go.
