This tea lounge on boulevard René-Lévesque East has an impressive array of fresh teas, in addition to specializing in pu-erh (aged teas). It is a place where you can take your time and even complement your tea with a savoury bite; Asian snacks, mochi and flavourful snacks complete the hot drink menu.
