No comments on this store. The lady stood up and greeted me (I think) w/o saying any words when I entered the store and I was the only one there. I made a few comments on the tea, she opened her hands outward w/o words. There're about 20-30 kinds of Chinese tea on the shelf that I have NOT heard of them. I asked whether one set of tea set was white jade, she opened her palms outward w/o saying anything. Didn't look like she was interested in my business.

A place to find some high quality tea to take home.

Not sure where to begin. Planned to stop by for months, and now regret not doing it earlier. What an incredible place, and the store owners, Selina Yano and her husband, are amazing and sweet. It's the first time we didn't want to leave, enjoying the history and learning about how tea is selected and grown in China. So much to learn and taste. Yes, you will spend time trying different kinds of tea and get really good idea if select tea is good for and fit your personality. The warm atmosphere and pleasant interior setting provide comfort and peace of mind for days to come. It's worth every penny and more. Grateful for the amazing time we had, and looking forward to more. Thank you so much.

I was excited to visit this place; when I opened the door, I was overwhelmed with so many things to examine! It all started well enough—I was looking at a pendant and wanted to confirm if it was agarwood/aloeswood, which the owner(?) didn't seem to know so I asked 沉香 in Chinese, which she kindly took out for me to smell; after asking for the price and other varieties & sizes, she brought out more bracelets for me to check out (including ones I didn't ask for)...I guess this was the turning point when she realized that I didn't want to spend a lot of money. After showing me a nice (and kind of expensive) piece, I noticed how quickly she put that back away and left the cheaper ones for me to contemplate. At this point I'm still at the front counter, so I said I'll think about the pendant after I finish the rest of the store. I moved onto the display shelves with teapots—I asked for the Nixing 妮兴 clay, which she mistook for Yixing (Zisha)—I tried to explain what I'm looking for but was told they're her private collection and not for sale anyway; it was nice of her to show me the stuff and even let me take them out to take pictures though. I then made my way to the back where she has very nice Buddhist statues made of jade. She said she has expensive taste and I agreed and complimented her; however, things really went south once I got to the teas.Again, overwhelmed was the word; with so many varieties of teas, I wasn't sure where to start, so I first asked if there was a menu (assuming they offer tea services based on the reviews) or at least a list of inventory, but was met with "This is not a boba shop or Starbucks," so I asked if I could simply smell the tea leaves, which she replied "If you smell teas, YOU DON'T KNOW TEA" followed by "All the teas that have fragrances are ARTIFICIAL." I told her it's a common practice when I buy teas from Wing Hop Fung (a very reputable tea supply, not to mention most oolong 青茶 teas are fragrant NATURALLY), then she basically reiterated that only her "factory" makes "real" teas. This is some sort of regional superiority delusion because my favorite Phoenix 鳳凰單樅 teas, as well as most teas from Taiwan & Japan are ALL fragrant...Fine, if I can't smell them, can I taste them? She told me that the minimum purchase is 100g (in short, NO), and proceeded to assume that I can't afford any of the loose leaves so she pushed the inferior prepackaged products. She could've easily charged me $5 for a cup or $10 for a pot; I had every intention to get the $26 or even the $36 teas if I liked them enough, but she made it impossible to know. I asked about the nice tea ceremonies everybody talks about and she basically told me that's for people who have already spent money, but I thought the point was to sample them so you can choose! She proceeded to talk about how people make teas wrong and she's just there to show them how to do it properly (with the teas they already bought yet knows nothing about). Ok, that sounds condescending and a little ridiculous ?With all my efforts to let her know that I speak Chinese since her English comes off a little rough around the edges, she never reciprocated. I wanted to get something just to prove that I'm not as poor as she thinks (Btw, I saw her checking my outfit & judging me at some point), but decided that since I don't live in NV and she most likely won't be my regular tea supply, it was a waste of effort for someone who clearly thinks they're too good for my business.

Fantastic play owner very knowledgeable about tea.

This place was so peaceful. The owner is wonderful and so knowledgeable<3I highly recommend this for anyone who wants to learn about tea and how to properly make it the traditional way. Thank you so much for the amazing experience

I've been eyeing this place for a year now and finally had enough time to go with my best friend who also loves tea. We loved learning about the tea benefits and origins from Selena. She was so sweet, hospitable, and knowledgeable. She taught us the best way to brew and drink traditional teas properly. She recommended some great teas based on our needs. Great thing about these they will last a long time and we will definitely come back for more.

My friend took me to this tea shop yesterday after she had changed my life with her delicious tea and beautiful set. Upon entering the shop, my senses were calmed and I was blown away by the beautiful sets that were displayed. The real gem of this experience was getting to sit down and talk, laugh, and learn from the owner. She was incredible. So much knowledge to share, very funny, and just overall enjoyable to share time with. She prepped 2 different teas for us to try, each specific for young women and explained the differences and benefits of the teas. I could feel the stress leave my body and I felt an overwhelming sense of calm and my mind cleared. All of us ended up buying our own sets and teas and will continue to return here. You will not be disappointed in going here!

My husband and I walked in wanting to purchase some tea and were greeted by the kindest woman! She showed us how to prepare tea and set us up with a beautiful home tea set and a red tea! We will definitely be coming back!
If you enjoy tea this is a must stop experience. As a pure tea lover I was enamored with the displays. Felt like I was back in China. But without the sales pressure. They mainly focus on puer, red (black), and white tea. They also have gorgeous gong fu sets. If you have not yet been introduced to the world of pure tea this is a great place to start.
Brittani Layne
This place is truly amazing. So much different than I expect. The highest quality tea I’ve ever tasted in my life
Sue
Very cozy, delicious smelling place)) The store owner is very hospitable and held a Chinese tea ceremony, told the origin of Puer tea, helped choose a new taste and also treated with cute gifts. I will definitely return to this store when I'm in Vegas!)
Katie Tobias
Selina is such a sweet & kind spirit. She is so knowledgeable and welcoming. Would absolutely recommend giving Grand Yunnan Tea a try if you have a love and respect for tea. ??

Selina was simply wonderful the tea the knowledge and the full experience is what you would expect from a very high end retail experience!
