Icha Tea is a different kind of tea shop. it's take the concept of drip coffee which is all the rage now and applies it to the traditional tea process.
Depending on which type of tea you choose (milk or regular), they create each drink from scratch so patience is key! They put the tea leaves and other flora ingredients into a pot, pour hot water into the bowl and place it on top of a dripper.
I had a jasmine rose petal tea and it was refreshing. I really enjoyed it.
Although the shop looks small in the front, there is a great chillout space in the back for some restive introspection, reading a book, or getting some work done.
Icha Tea seems like a hidden gem in the crowdedness of Chinatown west but I am sure more and more people discover it each day as they pass by.
