“Tucked away in Kansas City, this tea house brings the meditative ritual of Taiwan's best tea culture to the Midwest, with an impressive selection of specialty teas that showcase global varieties and thoughtful pairings that elevate each visit into an experience. Whether you're savoring their standout matcha, the toasted sticky rice drink with surprising depth, or participating in their tea omakase events, every detail—from the choice of your own cup to the gentle re-steeping of leaves—invites you to slow down in a warm, soothing space that feels like a cherished retreat.”

Went to the first tea omakase event and had a marvelous experience. The teas were fantastic, really showcased the variety of options available in the wide world of tea, and the pairings were amazingly delicious and provided great contrast and complement to the tea. Staff was very knowledgeable and engaging. The space was beautiful and calming, perfect for the event. Left very satisfied and looking forward to visiting again and again - next time for a group outing with fellow tea-lovers.
What a wonderful spot! The toasted sticky rice drink had incredible depth of flavor, and the matcha was some of the best I’ve had. The regular tea comes in small pots, but you can steep the leaves multiple times which is nice. Even though it was busy, the staff was so friendly and attentive. A great overall experience. I’ll definitely be back!
My new favorite spot in KC—incredible teas, treats, & small plates and the most soothing ambience. It’s a warm, happy hideaway that reminds me of my favorite tea houses in Taiwan. Highly recommend the Tie Guan Yin Oolong, hojicha cookies, Cantonese pudding and lemongrass tea!
Stopped in for a cup of tea. You get to pick out your cup with the black tea. The jelly snack is mellow and went well with the tea. Nice quiet place.
I’m a tea drinker and was so thrilled to hear of a new tea house opening in Columbus Park. I’ve visited twice now and both times were excellent. The service and offerings are above par. I’ve tried several of the teas and especially liked the lemongrass blend. You can even eat the dates and berries when you’re done enjoying the tea. It’s a slow moving space that encourages taking your time to enjoy their offerings. I’ll happily be back.
