Finally met Uncle G in person! Staff was wonderful as usual. The Blue People is still my favorite.
Got the lychee black (~okay) and siberian rose (~awesome, comparable to shanghai). Tea bags come with stickers with instructions. Give you more tea than they charge
A great place! Learn about tea properly and have some great tea to drink.
Wonderful way to learn about tea , how to prepare, when to drink, and how to store. Karina is knowledgeable .
The owner owns a few bars around sf and is a hoot, 5 stars go niners too
Uncle G is 83 but acts like he's either 11 or 30. This place rules! A must-do in china town .
The Milk Oolong was so so good
Stay a while for a proper tea tasting ! Try some puah tea and milk oolong is interesting... Creamy!
Kenny was great and super knowledgeable about all things tea .
Free tea and a heavy sales shtick, it's kind of fun.
Ask for Maggie. Very knowledgable on tea & hilarious!
Kevin is great! Super informative and cute !!
Best tea education thus far! Uncle G is a good laugh and knowledgeable .
Best tea education . My boy Jon is gone but still great experience with Weng.
Ask what u want to try and she will make it for you
Ask to try the "popcorn " tea - Milk Oolong . Delicious
Kenny , who I think is the owner, is incredibly helpful. It was a pleasure tasting out way to some perfect teas .
Really great free tasting; fun owners; big selection.
Made my trip to SF. I'll never forget my Uncle from Georgia Tech
John and Uncle G are like family. Very knowledgeable !
Amazing trip to the tea world.
Thank you for the tea education !!! Loved it.
Have a tea tasting with Uncle G but don't try to guess how old he is.
Wonderful place full of tea magic. Hands down, best teas I ever tried. Make sure to stay for the tea ceremony (aka sampling). The staff is very nice&professional. Ask for some ginseng oolongs! Yum! - Kay T
Great selection of teas. They even let you try some of them before you buy. I love the Moroccan Mint, and the Peppermint Rose tea. - Sabrina Soto
Crispy cookies! Chocolate flavor also available. It's a very small factory in one of the alleys in China town. You can see them make fresh cookies! 50 cents for a picture! - Divya Menon
Amazing bookstore with a well-curated selection. Love the poetry section upstairs. - Sarah
Of course the egg custard is perfect. But don't overlook the curry chicken bun for a savory taste! - Jackson Shih
