Taian Herbal Tea

I came here to get a gongfu tea set, I saw this place and it took me an hour and 20 minutes to get there from where I lived. I was unsure if they had what I needed but they had everything! I got a gaiwan, tray and cups. The owner was extremely knowledgeable and helpful every step of the way(she helped me pick out what’s in the photo)! I will definitely be coming back. I can’t recommend this place enough! :D

Been drinking tea for a while now, but new gong fu style. The husband was casual in a good way but you could tell he really knew his stuff. While the wife was very friendly and inviting. Both talked about going back to China to taste all different kinds of tea. Which the selection was decent. Funny enough his advice to me was to not worry about the details of brewing gong fu, and instead simply enjoy the tea, which as someone who can be fusy on the details, I appreciated that lol. Prices on tea were fair though the only critique might be small but I would have liked to have seen more entry level individual gaiwans for folks on a budget, but I also understand that they are a luxury product and that might be hard to source. Will be back, very happy, here is what I got, plus a bonus free sample!

I was super disappointed when I came by on Sunday, December 7th a little after 12:30pm. I asked the woman working there about the tea tastings that they offer and she offered us a paper cup of tea. I asked her further that my understanding was that we could sit down and taste a bunch of teas and be educated on the teas like described in the google reviews and she said that she didn’t do that and she didn’t give us any information on how we might get to experience one. Truly disappointed. I bought matcha there to support the store anyway, and I would have likely bought more if I wasn’t so disappointed. I guess I can go to the other tea houses in the city for a tea tasting. I was really hoping to do it here since it is closer to where my friends and I live.

We had a wonderful experience at this Chinese tea shop! The owner was incredibly kind, inviting us to sample a variety of teas, including puerh and oolong. She shared insightful tips on proper brewing techniques and the health benefits of each tea, which made the visit both educational and enjoyable. The shop boasts an impressive selection of teas, catering to all tastes. We ended up purchasing a few different teas and left feeling delighted. Highly recommend visiting this gem for an authentic and welcoming tea experience!

Amazing! Such a beautiful interior space that the owner built himself. I love the lightning and the woodwork. It really is beautiful and highlights the tea products so well. We spoke with his wife who was putting together some apple tea on the counter. The place is really stunningly beautiful and we ended up purchasing some jasmine green tea.
