“ I was visiting the area and I wanted tea. I went into this shop on a whim and Im so glad I did. I am not an expert but have gone to various tea stores with friends. I got great recommendations and this is a lot cheaper than buying things online or other mainstream tea stores. Be open minded and support the locals, you wont regret it. Thanks to Mr. Wayne Chu, owner, who helped make excellent recommendations. ”
