When I stepped inside The Tea Emporium this afternoon, I just wanted to browse around for a couple of minutes.
My couple of minutes stay ended up being half a hour!! I know it is not usual for me that happen... but when I saw the tea drinking area, I want to stay in and enjoy a pot of tea!!
It is like a lounge... a diva lounge for tea drinkers... those comfy cushions, the warm and welcoming deco...made me feel like I found where I belong?
The lone staff here was friendly, nice and knowledgeable.. and so welcoming..
While I got myself comfy and daydreaming about Taiwan tea house experience somewhere far far away... my tea was delivered..hmmmm 3 minutes on the timer and it's ready!
Formosa Oolong
- served in a teapot steaming hot
- heavy body with hint of smokiness
- reddish in colour and strong in flavour
I drank and enjoyed pots of hot tea.. watching the sunshine through the windows........life's still good! -

The tea and tea-pots in the place are definitely drool-worthy. I spent a lot of time walking around imagining myself making daily tea in fabulous little tea sets. It would be a whole new way of life.
Except, I hate washing things by hand, and those "whole new life" habits never really work out (please see my drawer of tea for proof).
So instead of indulging in sweet little tea pots and oodles of fancy teas I opted for a scone and ice tea. The ice tea was yummy but a bit small, and she nuked my scone before serving it to me (ewwww!) Who the heck wants a nuked scone? Ick.
Good for getting gifts and fancy teas, boring for baked goods.
