A local tea shop that has won my heart and loyalty forever.
Okay, so the cafe itself needs some work. Their chairs are cheap, the floors are old, but the drinks make up for all of it. The bonus small collection of board games is a plus and the cafe has got a decent seating capacity for small groups to chill :)
SOOO they use this technology called RAIN (?) that basically sucks out all the air from the tea leaves while it is steeping and is supposed to extract more flavour from the leaves. Cool technology, not sure how much of a role it plays vs traditional steeping (I have yet to buy their loose leaf for my own home), but so far each drink has been bomb.
I've tried their: Hidden Coconut Valley Milk Tea (iced), Creamy Vanilla Bean Milk Tea (hot), Scarlet Rose (iced), Orange blossom (hot), and the wild hibiscus berry (cold). All these drinks have stayed true to their name giving you an experience that translates well from the smell of the loose leaf to the taste of the drink itself. These guys are true masters of tea making and if you appreciate tea as much as I do, save your money at Starbucks and come here. They won't disappoint.
