Our special tea for this month is Water Fairy Oolong! “Mm, tastes delicious” says the customers. We chose this for January because the roasted notes reminds us of chestnuts, but the floral notes brings us closer to spring. 🌷🌷

Water fairy is a famous “rock oolong” from China’s Anhui province, known for the mineral quality of the taste due to the tea leaves absorbing the minerals of the rocky Wuyi mountains. It is a delicate and delicious brew that we hope you will love.

Come by today for your tea fix! We are only here until end of February! 🥹🥰
