GONGFU TEA ON THE TABLE
We are passionate about brewing tea, and we want to infuse the same passion for our guests by making every kind of tea through the optimal method. For many teas, this means the Chinese Gongfu brewing style, where a small amount of water is brewed with a relatively large amount of leaves, which allows tea to express themselves the best. We also make Japanese teas in their original and typical way in Japan: gyokuro is made in a susuricha style with a small amount of warm water, and in matcha we make a nice dense foam.
When tea comes more than a beverage, it takes you on a journey. Every journey needs a guide. Our Tea House is a place where you can explore and experience tea with the guidance of our tea specialists. Welcome!
