I am not a coffee person, but I do love tea, especially English Tea, Chinese tea is also nice as well.
My favourite is Jasmine, but I needed something to tone down my thirst from the noodles at Butao.
I chose "Phoenix tea" with a slight bitter taste, because with Jasmine, it just makes you drink more.
The shop was quite modernised with those Chinese drawers you find in Herbal medicine shops but with a lighter shade of wood.
There were jars of tea, so you could smell before you choose your drink.
They even sold macaroons.
The teas cost around $30 per cup, which is similar to the prices of cofffee at Starbucks and Pacific Coffee, there were magazines as well.
Although, there was quite a choice for tea, it was still not as comprehensive as the choice at J Marriot (Canton Tea Shop), although it costs more at JW at $65 per pot.
The tea selection was divided into Green, Black and Red.
For takeaway tea's, the cups look like the coffee ones at SB and PC which are very modern.
I drank my tea there, but was slightly disappointed by the teaware they used, it was so modern, but then I suppose they were used to match the environment.
I was looking forward to those mini teapots and tiny cups.
Overall, I really liked this shop as it gives me an alternative to drink tea instead of drinking tea at coffee shops and they have an English menu too.
