I have always wanted to try Teavers ever since I saw photos of the siphon glowing with plasmic colours which practically draws everyones attention.
Tea houses are just the place for people who do not drink coffee.
I would have gone sooner but it had been raining for the past few weeks.
Teavers is also located in East Soho which is quite far for some but there is an exhibition of a ship nearby featured on a earlier review which people could visit or they could catch the ferry to Yau Tong and have seafood after tea.
Anyway, I would just like to Thank Teavers for inviting me to experience their lovely teas and tea related products.
When you sit down, they give a tray of clear glass containers with tea leaves which you can smell and see which ones you like the most especially for beginners because each person has their own acquired taste.
The teas were colour coded too. For strong teas the siphon was used.
The teas that I chose were not strong hence the siphon was not used. I thought I missed the opportunity to take photos of the siphon in action by luckily it was in action in one of my photos.
They had lots of attractive teaware on display too.
As a tea lover I could not resist trying the traditional tea and the tea fusion.

Iced Oolong with grapefruit juice tea:
When I asked about this tea, I was thrilled to learn it was made with real grapefruit juice and not grapefruit syrup.
The taste was so nice I drank half a glass in one go.
The sweetness was just right too and not syrupy and it really quenched thirst which is what a good drink should do and not make you quench for another drink.
The icecubes are made of tea too which will not dilute the drink.

Osthmanthus and oolong tea Jelly:
The jelly texture was similer to kanten, it was slightly tough.
The sweetness was just right and there were bits of pear in the jelly.

Mushroom and spinach quiche tarts:
These were cute bite sized quiches filled with mushroom and spinach.
I would have preferred it if it was more savory because I found it slightly sweet.

Jasmine tea:
To finish off I had the hot jasmine tea.
There were two types of Jasmine, Jasmine leaves and Jasmine pearls. This was the reason why their tea sample was extremely useful because I could find out which Jasmine I preferred.
I chose the Jasmine leaves because it was the one I preferred the scent of even though the Jasmine pearl was a better quality. I found the Jasmine pearl too fragrant for me.
The cookies that came with it were really nice and infused with tea flavouring. It was really good the buttery taste was not that strong or it would have overpowered the tea taste. They reminded me of the cookies at Clover.
It was thoughtful there was a cup of hot water too, to cleanse the palate.

Next time I shall try the hazelnut monkey tea latte and the chocolate mint truffle which is chocolate and mint leaves
