We had an omakase tea experience. The owners are such great people to talk to. We will definitely be back.
Amazing tea store! The owner is super kind and knowledgeable and speaks English, Mandarin, and Cantonese. They have a huge variety of quality loose leaf teas, especially oolongs and pu erh. They're happy to sit and pour you teas to sample and tell you about the teas and steeping processes. Would highly recommend a visit.
The folks running the place are extremely friendly and knowledgeable, and the quality of the tea is excellent.
If you're like me and you know a little bit about tea and are looking to explore, get a better idea of what's out there and what suits your palate, and pick up a few ounces to bring home, this place is perfect for you.
Loved this place! Lot's of tea choices and welcoming atmosphere
Was planning on purchasing tea here but they told me i couldn't smell the tea. I then asked to taste the tea but I was told no as well. I'm assuming the lady didn't think i was wanting to buy tea or something... the shop looks nice but if you don't look a certain way it won't be helpful. Gave 2 stars because we were politely refused service. Luckily there's another shop nearby that was able to let me taste and smell the tea and sold me some in bulk
Wonderful to experience and source different types of tea
My wife and I were in on Wednesday to pick up a few things that I was missing from my tea set-up, i.e., tea tray, pot, some new cups and of course some tea! I very much looking forward to enjoying the white peony tea cake along with the High fermentation monkey pick oolong and of course we can't forget about the Ying Hong #9. I very much recommend this place if you are interested in everything tea or just getting into it.
incredible experience. incredibly nice owners, was the defining moment of my great vacation visiting seattle.
I can not say enough good things about this tea house. They welcome you with open arms, are incredibly informative, and give you a great tea ceremony experience with amazing tea! Don't hesitate to stop in to this awesome tea shop!
This is my favorite tea shop. The environment is so kind and welcoming, and the owner always remembers me.
I brought some friends who were visiting to the shop, and they loved the experience and had a great time. I knew they would be welcomed and treated with nothing less that pure kindness, and that expectation was met ten-fold.
It’s a great place to explore, regardless of your familiarity with tea. The owner is fantastic at explaining the different options, and I cannot overstate how I wish my first loose tea experience was here! It would have saved me a lot of errors in the trial and error process.

Excellent, beautiful shop with a great selection of interesting import loose leaf tea run by people who are so clearly passionate about what they sell. They are so nice too, offering us lots of free samples in store. I highly recommend and will be back!

Easily the best tea shop I've ever been in. We were able to sample a wide variety of teas, all of which were great. The selection of teaware is also great, from the cheaper stuff that will just get the job done, to exquisite Yixing clay teapots.

Delightful people and teas. They have something for everyone's taste and budget. We had a blast trying these amazing teas and taking home a set to make it just as wonderfully at home!
