I first heard the word about this tea joint in North Phoenix only a few days ago. Since I recently moved relatively close, I felt compelled to venture on over and give it a whirl. Boy, am I glad I did.
Upon stepping foot in the front door, I was warmly greeted by friendly staff & was instantly eased into a state of tranquility thanks to a combo of delightful aroma from the tea leaves & soothing tunes playing just at the perfect decibel level. (You can actually hear yourself think)
Before I knew it, the staff was asking what I was into tea-wise and started rattling off some delicious-sounding teas based on the little info I revealed. The one that caught my eye immediately was the Pu-Erh Ginger and that's the one I went with. (Snap judgement knows best)
I decided to get it over ice, considering it was hotter than Africa outside. It was nothing short of amazing and just what the doctor ordered. (Trust me, I'm no doctor)
Having thoroughly enjoyed the best tea my taste buds have experienced since I can remember, I decided to get 50 grams of the Pai Mu Tan white tea to go. (Once again, instinct reigns supreme)
That was that. Euphoria ensued.
**Note: I am due back there in the morning to meet with a friend, but I just couldn't wait another day to check this place out. Being impatient finally paid off.
