Authentic Chinese Tea Shop Near Yu Garden

Real tea, honestly priced. A few steps from the Yu Garden, our shop keeps one simple promise: every tea is clearly marked, at a fair, fixed price for everyone. Come sit down and taste with us the gongfu way — aged Pu-erh, mountain oolong, traditionally scented jasmine — with no pressure to buy. Whether you're in Shanghai for a day or for years, there's always a seat, and a fair cup, waiting for you.

The Tasting Experience

We are a tea shop, not a tea ceremony show. Nobody here performs. What we open for you comes off the shelf, aged teas included, and not a cheap blend kept aside for tastings. Every tea is priced on this site, so you can see beforehand what goes into the cup.

Guided Tea Tasting (Free walk‑in)

Taste 3–5 signature Chinese teas with a short English introduction. 10–15 minutes. Letting you taste is simply how we sell tea, so there is nothing to pay and nothing you have to buy.

Private Session (Also free, book ahead)

A 30-minute hosted tasting: one tea poured at two qualities side by side, how to judge a leaf yourself, and how to brew it once you are home. The session costs nothing. Booking adds 10% off everything you buy and a free 10g tea.

Travel‑Ready Gifts

Compact tins and gift sets designed for carry‑on. We also offer careful packing and worldwide shipping.

Photo‑Friendly Space

Elegant cups, tea tables, and Chinese decor. Staff are happy to help you capture the moment.
