  Hidden gem in an otherwise sketchy neighborhood. Super appreciate them using proper tea leaves and proper pots/cups for making tea! And the price is so good (cheaper than many boba tea shops around). The only small drawback is that the space is not huge, so sometimes you may have to wait for a table or just sit outside. Will come back again!

  One of my favourite places in Berkeley. The teas are absolute delicious and I cannot wait to try more. However it is the atmosphere that is amazing; the people working here are so kind and attentive and make the experience wonderful.

  Perfect place to spend a afternoon here! Wonderful collection of tea and amazing staff! My favorite is duck sh*t aroma tea, yeah I know it sounds weird but it’s so aromatic and has a sweet after tone. Highly recommend!!!

  Fabulous tea house in Berkeley, CA, with a nice selection of Japanese and Chinese teas. Different spaces, including outdoor seating, Indoor tables have tea kettles on stands nearby if you order traditional tea service. The main space also has a bookshelf with many books and magazines on the subject of tea. The only drawback for me is that there isn’t much in the way of detailed descriptions, provenance, etc. for each tea. But for ambiance and a really nice environment to have tea with friends, this is very good.

  100% worth visiting and visiting again. Warm, bright and inviting- this is a place that has something for everyone. The staff are incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. There are options to get something to go, tea flights to sample a few or choose one and steep away. This place has something special in the ambiance and atmosphere and it genuinely feels impossible to leave this establishment in a bad mood. All of the team deserves more kudos than I can muster. For the curated collection that is here, the prices are absolutely fair. In addition to fantastic tea, there are small bites options from Third Culture Bakery. If tea is your thing, especially if gong fu tea is your thing, DONT miss this place. If you need a little guidance, never fear because these folks are more than willing to help you out. For the COVID cautious, the tables to sit down at are spaced apart adequately and the staff are diligent in wiping them down between customers.
