Inside Scoop
- Be prepared for a quiet, library-like atmosphere; it's a place for calm conversation and savoring tea.
- The staff are passionate and knowledgeable, so don't hesitate to ask for recommendations or explanations about the teas.
- Expect to spend some time here; it's designed for a slow, unhurried tea experience, not a quick grab-and-go.
- Cleanliness and organization can sometimes be an issue, with items not always cleared promptly.
- If you're just buying tea packages, you might need to actively seek out staff as the payment area isn't always obvious.
