JJ insisted that we try a tea house while we were in Montreal, and I was certainly not going to argue, given that a cup of tea would absolutely bring the feeling back to my nose. We walked into Ming Tao Xuan and admired the multitude of beautiful pottery and tea sets before being shown to a table.
I read most of the menu in detail before deciding on the Tie Kuan Yin King tea, and I knew it was a good choice by the attitude of our waiter (whose eyes lit up). A few moments passed before individual tea sets and kettles were brought for each of us. The waiter showed us the proper way to steep and serve the tea, which was fascinating, and then left us on our own to continue to drink. I poured myself three or four pots before I had my fill of the delicate and delicious beverage.
We had a delightfully tranquil time at this quiet teahouse while we strategized about what to do (and where to go) next. One final note: make sure you stake this place out, because there is a very limited amount of seating available.
