Purple Vine Tea House

  • March 2, 2005
  • Rated 4 of 5 by noushi from London
This tea house is so romantic. It's also steeped in tradition and feels of a world that once was. You walk in and the hostess seats you at your own private area. You are given a menu with various types of teas, and after you choose one, she soon brings a clear teapot of water and two cups full of tea leaves. A long scroll is rolled down to the ground, replacing a door, and you are left alone with your date to chat away and remember that, years before stepped in here, this was not only where meeting places were held and important decisions made but also an integral part of the Chinese culture.
