I would never go to Kent in search of a good authentic tea shop but my husband and I were driving down hwy 167 and saw the sign on the back of the building and decided to stop in. The proprietor is awesome, she is very sweet and a lot of fun. Everytime we go in she has us try a multitude of teas and she sells the neatest cups with strainers built-in (my husband and I send everybody there, we've started a fad with the teacups at Highline.) I highly recommend this shop for anyone interested in tea or even someone who's not!

Truly genuine service with a smile. Love of the product offered is evident from the moment you enter the store. The tea she makes is extraordinary, and the tea leaves and accessories she sells are well worth your time and money. I cant say enough good about this place, go see for yourself.

The atmosphere is extremely inviting. I love the way I can sample the different teas before buying them. I think the fact that every time I walk in the store, I am greeted warmly and friendly. They remember me, and make me feel like I am a very special customer, no matter how much money I spend in their store. I highly recommend this store to everyone who asks, "What are you drinking?" Every experience I have had in this store or with Mako has been an enriching experience for me. I am very happy with their product, and the customer service is the best I have received on every trip I have made to this store. Mako makes sure you feel welcome and wanted.

I have been going to Xiu Xian Tea since she opened up for business last year. They have TONS of differnet kinds of teas and flavors of tea. From white tea to Oolong-From lavender scents to red teas with different flavors. When you come in you will be invited to have some tea at her lovely carved wood tables. These tables are made for tea sampling, enough said, try them yourselves. The atmosphere is homey and inviting. You want to stay there all day, drink tea and catch up on the events of the world. They also have an excellent list of their products available to take with you so you can plan your next visit.

You can't find a better tea shop that offers not only a plethora of green, oolong, red,and black teas from around China and Japan, But also has the warmest and most helpful curator. Mako and Robert have a beautiful shop where you are invited to sit down for an individual tasting to find the tea that suits you and learn many fascinating tips about tea from the growing regions to flavor description to brewing tips. You can't miss out on this treasure...what a delight!

I love this little tea shop. It is quite the find. The woman that works there is always friendly and willing to help. She knows a lot about the different kinds of teas. The fact that you get to try many of them is wonderful. It really broadens your horizons and adds to the wonderful atmosphere. I have referred many friends and haven't heard any complaints.

This is a Tea shop like no other. The woman who runs the shop is friendly and will sit you down to try different teas until you find teas to your liking. All of the teas are imported from China by the shop keeper, over 200 hundred in all! She also has myriad tea sets, dishes and other items that will keep you coming back time and time again. You don't get this kind of personal service at any retail store I have ever been to in the Seattle area, or anywhere else.

This place is in a hidden corner of a little strip shopping center, but it was a great discovery. If you've never had real, traditional Chinese tea you should check it out. They have many different kinds of tea, kettles, mugs and other supplies. The owner was really friendly, and she sits customers down for "tea tastings" and demonstrations. You can probably find similar stuff for cheaper if you dig around in Seattle's International District, but if you're new to Chinese tea you will get more personal attention and can ask lots of questions here. It was a real cultural experience.
