Chinese Tea, Properly

Not everyone wants a cocktail at 2am. We keep ten whole-leaf teas from China and Taiwan, bought from a specialist tea house and brewed by the pot — 4 g of leaves, enough for one or two people and several rounds of hot water. A pot is 130 ฿, jasmine 80 ฿, any hour of the day.

How we brew it

Gongfu-style, by the pot: 4 g of leaves, water just off the boil for the oolongs, the black tea and the pu-erh, a little cooler for the green and white teas, and short infusions poured one after another. One pot comfortably serves two. When the leaves are done, ask for a fresh pot or a top-up of hot water.

Which one to pick

  • Mellow and easy: GABA “Ruby 18” or Bai Mu Dan
  • Floral: Tie Guan Yin or Dan Cong “Ya Shi Xiang”
  • Roasted and bold: Da Hong Pao
  • Fresh and light: Long Jing or Jasmine Snow
  • Deep and warming: pu-erh or Zheng Shan Xiao Zhong

Tea is served at the bar and in the lounge 24 hours a day, alongside coffee, cocktails and everything else — the same hours as the shop.

Frequently Asked

Do you serve tea around the clock?

Yes — the bar runs 24 hours, the same as the shop, so tea is brewed at any hour.

Is one pot enough for two?

Yes. A pot is brewed from 4 g of leaves and gets several rounds of hot water, so it comfortably serves two.

Can I come just for tea?

Of course. Plenty of guests come for a pot of tea, a film in the cinema room or a game on the PS5 without buying anything else.
