“At our traditional oriental tea house, you’ll experience the art of tea through tastings, ceremonies, and cultural exchanges.” Shared Du Zhang.
At TEETAO TEEHUONE, the essence of tradition and taste is captured in their exquisite collection, ranging from delicate green teas to robust oolongs. Among their offerings is the revered Pre-Qingming tea, harvested before the Qingming Festival, a cherished tradition in tea culture. Particularly notable is the Lan Gui Ren, an oolong tea originating from the Wuyi Mountains in Fujian, known for its orchid fragrance and invigorating blend with ginseng, perfect for chilly winters or the awakening of a Finnish spring.
For those seeking refreshing indulgence, TEETAO TEEHUONE presents the Sultana Lung Ching Lemon Iced Tea, a tantalizing fusion of fine Lung Ching green tea, sweet grapes, and zesty lemon, served chilled for a delightful sip. Additionally, patrons can savor the Coconut Milk Matcha with Sakura Wagashi, China Keemun with Matcha Butter Bread, or Milky Oolong with Matcha Pudding, each crafted with premium matcha and lactose-free milk and cream.
Complementing their tea selection is a range of Wagashi, traditional Japanese sweets renowned for their subtle sweetness and delicate flavors, harmonizing perfectly with the nuanced bitterness of tea. At TEETAO TEEHUONE, every offering is meticulously handcrafted to ensure an unparalleled sensory experience for tea enthusiasts and connoisseurs alike.
