This is an excellent place to go beyond the tea bag from your local grocer. The establishment itself, a bit formal with its antique furniture in dark wood, marble floors, and an antique tea counter, evokes what China was like before the revolution there. It is a perfect setting to sample rare teas from the delicate airy flavor of silver needle white tea, to the peachy smokiness of oolongs, to a pungent and earthy pu'erh (not for the timid). A tea master can suggest what will suit you best, discuss the finer points of tea production, if you like, and then serve you a superbly brewed pot that you will be encouraged to linger over. There are traditional Chinese tea snacks available, including cookies and rice crackers.
