Description

Every order arrives with cards detailing the tea's origin and tasting notes to guide your palate. Alongside drinks like iced Sichuan jasmine, the counter serves distinct treats including Osmanthus Amber Candy and rich black sesame cookies. Because the shop has limited seating, finding a spot can require patience, but the knowledgeable service makes the stay worthwhile.
