Years ago I used to come here to smell the variety of teas that can be found here. I loved the scent spread around. And yet, it was not until recent years that a friend took me further inside, and it turned out that there is also a place to sit and enjoy tea with some cakes (if you are as much of a sweet tooth as I am).
This is a calm, nice place, although sadly it is allowed to smoke inside. And yet I haven't felt uncomfortable with that, as the air conditioning is pretty good. This is a good place to sit and have some chat with friends around some very tasty tea. The variety of teas may be a bit confusing, and yet it is probably a good idea to try something new each time.
