Tea to cleanse your soul....well that's what my Mama kept on sayin'!!
By sheer curiosity of the place (originally looking at the cupcake shop next door) we entered the Ming Tao Xuan tea house (aka: Salon de Te) and had the instant feeling of entering an actual tea house in China. The place is beautifully decorated with authentic artifacts and shelves loaded with hand-crafted teapots and tea accessories.
A full-detailed Tea menu is brought by one of their knowledgeable tea experts who gives you a full description of any and all teas, tea properties, and advises on how to choose your tea. Teas price range from $6-8 dollars and they also have several options of cookies and light pastries as an accompaniment
The tea presentation makes this a remarkable experience.....I can't describe how much fun we had throughout it all....Tea service is very affordable but prices of the teapots and its accessories are what could possibly break your bank. The craftsmanship of the tea pots is amazing and if you budget right, you can put together an exquisite set to bring back home and show how cultured you are!
Hit the tea house after the a long walk around the Vieux Port and before visiting the Notre-Dame Basilica. You'll feel immensely cleansed and ready for a prayer or two at church!
