used to go to this tea house quite often when i was still a first year student, but i dont visit it as much anymore because it can get extremely busy and loud there. and sometimes its.. just too much. and so i started sort of avoiding the place.
though, i enjoyed my time there yesterday. i went there with my girlfriend after a little zoo trip. we were hungry and thirsty and they only offer meals like couscous, baba ghanoush and mandu (dumplings), but thankfully we were not that hungry.
after irish cream and cold rooibos with pineapple, we decided on ordering tsou alishan dark age from 2015. the alishan tea is well known and it has to be one of my favorite oolongs (yet nothing beats a good shui xian!!). we received the tea in the tiniest gaiwan ive ever seen irl. i was worried it will be too small for my hand, but thankfully i quickly figured out how to pour the tea and actually found the vessel really comfortable.
