Description

Shelves of artisanal teaware line this space, where tastings unfold as lessons in Chinese tea culture. During a flight, hosts pour multiple rounds of the same leaves, showing how the flavor shifts with each steep as the tea reveals its true form. Along with the pours, the staff explains the cultivation and harvesting methods of each variety. While the experience is considered a splurge, enthusiasts value the depth of instruction that sets it apart from a standard cafe.
