In a region run by coffee, I was so happy to find Xiu Xian Teahouse (I go to the Bellevue/Crossroads location)!
Mako & Jenny really know about tea and take the time to educate buyers and answer *every* single question one might come up with. AND they went out of there way to make me and the other customers feel right at home.
Other perks:
*Inexpensive-moderate priced teas (from my experience)
*Free Wi-Fi!
*Real Chinese tea tables (which adds to the experience)
*A nice range of teas (good quality too)
*Iced teas (and bubble tea in the Kent store) - made from real tea - NOT A POWDER!
*No hassle parking - they have their own lot
*In a good location
Cons -
*WILL have trouble picking just one tea
*No food in shop (plenty nearby though)
My overall impression? This was a wonderful tea drinking experience. Their customer service is incompareably good and I am so please to have found them.
