This tea place is truly a hidden gem in kent
I did not think a amazing place like this would be in Kent
But it surely is
They have the widest selction of tea around with the highest quality
I know because I have been shopping around for tea and I have finally found my place
Bottom line is go check out this place and you will be glad you did
And if you want the best experience then ask for Sanji (the tea dutchess) I always call in beforehand to make sure she is in
Pros: numerous teas
Cons: once you're in you spend a lot

I love this place! This is where I get most of my tea. The owner is extremely helpful and knowledgeable. When she is able she personally goes to China to procure tea.
I have been going here for almost a year now. She will let you try any tea in the store and most of the time insists that you try it before you buy. The prices are very good.
In the last few months she has started tea classes every Sunday where you get to sample tea and learn about them in a fun and friendly group.
I could go on and on. The place is great, the owner and workers are super friendly and the tea is top-notch.

Xiu Xian Tea is an amazing place, with friendly workers and lots of tea. They have a "try before you buy" policy, where before buying the tea, you can sit down and try the teas in genuine chinese tea ceremony style. They have tea lattes, and not to mention the hundreds of teas to try. They teach you how to handle the tea in order to have the best tea experience in your own homes, and handle each and every customer with friendliness and compassion. Furthermore, it's a perfect place for studying or relaxing, as you can buy a tea pot, sit down by the window, and enjoy a relaxing tea experience while you study, read, or surf the internet (they have free wifi too!). Finally, the customers themselves are open and friendly, and the cafe like environment makes it a great place for parties or just meeting new people.All in all, Xiu Xian Tea is relaxing, open and a warm place to spend your time.

This is a fun place to go to try new tea. There are hundreds to chose from, and as you learn what you like the staff will keep a personal file for you where you mark each tea you have tried and what you thought about it. It's a great place to meet people, too. The staff will teach you the proper way to brew tea for the maximum enjoyment and best flavor. I found out why I hadn't like green tea in the past, and I didn't know that tea leaves can be used several times. Watching the staff's ritual at the tea tables is a treat because they are very graceful, and gracious. The teas they sell are hand-selected selected in the fields and drying houses by the owners every year to ensure consistent quality. The shop also has a wonderful selection of gifts. I always have a great time and everyone I share this with takes a friend or family member later.
Pros: Knowledgeable Staff. Great price on rare teas. High quality
Cons: Located outside Crossroads Mall with a small sign

A complete tea experience. I am impressed with the high level of tea knowledge of the staff. The owners are very friendly, caring and have a passion for tea and service. I can buy with confidence because I know the owners went to where the tea is grown to select the best. The tea cermony is awesome. I can sample the teas before I purchase. I really love the holistic health benefit appraoch to this tea house. The owner or staff will match a perfect tea for my current health challenge or concern. The tea is fresh, orginal, and purposeful. Unlike corp stores or super markets, buying tea at Xiu-Xian Tea is an awesome experience, bring a friend or your date, everyone will have a wonderful time....

I visited the store here at Crossroads this past Tuesday. The store was busy with several people both inside and sitting outside at the tables and chairs. Immediately upon entering the store, I was warmly greeted by Jenny. I stayed for about an hour doing tea tasting with two other customers and during that time I observed Jenny attending to the many customers coming in and out. Although she was the only person on staff that evening, she made us all feel as if we had her undivided attention. I wanted to say thank you for having such a wonderful person on your staff and to let you know she represents your business well. When it was time for me to go I purchased several teas, two tea cups, and a tea to go, all thanks to the excellent service and knowledge Jenny provided.
Many thanks,

Thank you for letting me sit and read a book for 4 hours while it sizzled outside. And thank you for making a special latte. I also appreciate the fact that you don't add color to latte's -:) I love the service, the happy smiles and, of course, discovering wonderful teas at very quaint little shop with very knowledgeable staff.
