Scatter-Brain

I've been wanting to visit this place for months because i love tea. Such and obvious reason XD i tried them when i went to Singapore. The experience of tea time pulled me back again. Last time i drank their tea, i didn't find it to my liking so this time, i was convinced i should get something not with chocolate.

When we came at 5.30pm, we had to wait. There were 5 names above us but they welcome us to browse around the store and took photos as much as you want, they also offered to take pictures for you. Apart from the dining area, they display all the cups and cattle and tea related stuff for sale. Including cakes, macaroons and their tea of course. They got well over 400 type of tea here. So it's kinda confusing to find the right one for you. Take time to browse around, i found their display interesting and they were ready to offer you help if you got lost amongst the tea. XD just like i did when i was getting confuse on the million tea, and i love smelling them. So when they caught us busy smelling tea, they came to us and explaining which tea is good for afternoon, which one is the best seller, which one is pretty good for diet. I had fun while waiting and also have a good idea on what to order.

So when our turn came, we got seated right in. The dining area is pretty cramped so it feels like we are sharing table with the couple beside us. For a person who likes privacy, i feel a bit threatened XD. We decide to order the dessert package that consist of 5 tea pastries (scones, financier, celenes, muffin, madeleine) and 3 macaroons. And of course purple buds for the one (who's having a fake) on diet. 

The tea came first but the nibbles came a bit later, i almost emptied 2 cups of tea when they came. And i could barely ate them all. Just not my liking, i should have stick with cakes instead. It's too heavy and too dense for me. Unfortunately my tea choice wasn't my cup of tea either. The purple buds, taste light and it taste like tea with too much tap water. And since we finished the tea while we barely eat the nibbles, we ordered another one for share. Pisuko choose Rum tea. And it's a mistake for us too. We need bitter tea to washed down the sweetness of the nibbles but the rum is pretty light with a hint of rum and it smells sweet. Not too much help. 

The price range for the tea is between 42k-100k per tea pot which make approximately 4-5 cups of tea, unrefillable of course XD food range from 35-350k including sets. They got brunch from 11-3pm also tea time from 3-6pm. 

We are pretty much beaten down to try to find a great tea to suit us but well we might come down to give them a last try with some extensive research maybe?! It's a plus they have a great service and a comfy seat XD
