Such a lovely experience, would recommend to anyone wanting an educational tea experience. The shop has some beautiful items in also. Thank you Elaine.x

what a tea experience that was.i feel enlightened.i had dropped my car off at the mechanics (auto masters) and was walking home when i saw some teapots in the window on palmerston street..tea i thought..thatd b nice.i was greetedby the owner who is a very passionate chinese tea woman.she refers to us as the westomers or western customers wich i thought was funny.after that amazing tea experience i ask myself why do we the whites"put sugar in our tea?and drink it in big cups with milk lol?stupid whites have been drinking tea the wrong way for generations.but i felt good to let her"the owner" educate me on all the correct methods

The lady is always helpful and friendly to us!! You have to call before going there, sometimes she goes on holiday.

Elaine is always a wonderful hostess, and I often end up spending the whole afternoon here. The teawares and antiques are beautiful, and the teas are even better. She stocks a large range of Chinese teas, and is incredibly knowledgeable about all of them. This is the first place I look for any Chinese tea in Perth, and I know that anything I buy from here will be of excellent quality.

A very quaint Chinese mother and son greeted us on our visit to the store. We were after some oriental tea meant as a gift for a friend. After mentioning that we were interested in a unique oolong, some pu-erhs and chrysanthemum, they actually sat us down and gave us free tea tastings for all three types - all the while making it clear that we were under no obligation to purchase anything; they were true tea fanatics, not salespeople. They taught us how to brew each type of tea properly and even toured us on several different tea mugs that we were interested in. We spent over $100 so we got a 20% discount and it was indeed a very happy purchase!Don't be scared that it all seems really foreign - the pair speak English very fluently and are not condescending at all.Please note that this place specializes in Chinese teas specifically, I think, so if you're after Japanese or western teas, you may have better luck elsewhere.

Highly recommended

The best quality Chinese teas in Australia without question. All hand-sourced by the owner who is always happy to share her brilliant knowledge and offer a tasting experience.
