Place was bright, clean, friendly, and busy like crazy. Most people were taking advantage of the delicious looking Boba teas, a definite try the next time I visit.
Ordered a Gaiwan of Bai Hao, sat at the tea bar, and watched all the people coming and going. A very college type tea shop . . . laptops and such at nearly every table.
Bai Hao arrived, and young man offered advice on preparation. His recommendations regarding steeping, were accurate and nice.
Dry aroma a little lite, but once steeped, the full bodied aroma and flavour was very much present. The leaves awakened nicely, and whole. Flavour and aroma held throughout 8 steepings.
Tea ware selection very limited, many items in menu not available. If not going to carry same items at both locations, maybe bet to create two different menus. Ordered Bai Hao, leaf portion on the light side, steeped leaves found to be small, and very few whole units, two leaves and a bud. Tea tasted slightly stale. Customer service was flawless, and everyone kept stopping by to ensure that everything was ok.
Absolutely love this place. The owners are a very friendly couple with a fantastic and fun son. The tea selection is great, and it is so easy to loose oneself tasting teas and talking with your perfect hosts . . . I had to keep remembering to go and feed the meter.
