Place was bright, clean, friendly, and busy like crazy. Most people were taking advantage of the delicious looking Boba teas, a definite try the next time I visit.
Ordered a Gaiwan of Bai Hao, sat at the tea bar, and watched all the people coming and going. A very college type tea shop . . . laptops and such at nearly every table.
Bai Hao arrived, and young man offered advice on preparation. His recommendations regarding steeping, were accurate and nice.
Dry aroma a little lite, but once steeped, the full bodied aroma and flavour was very much present. The leaves awakened nicely, and whole. Flavour and aroma held throughout 8 steepings.
