If you want a wonderful tea experience, this is the place to go. I was looking for particular tea that is hard to find. They had several varieties of the type of tea I wanted. Some of their teas are a hundred to a hundred and fifty years old. The employee made the tea for us, poured it over a hot stone and served us in delightful Japanese tea cups at no charge. He was very knowledgeable and patient. He made it a lovely afternoon for us. They have some kind of gaming in the back room. I believe it's interactive video for people that are serious about gaming (videos), not gambling. LOL
Be careful! The place that Google Maps sent us to was their old location. I don't know if this has been fixed yet or not.
West China Tea company is one of the most unique and beautiful companies in Austin, Texas. The owner is an incredibly humble and kind human being genuinely dedicated to the Art of Tea. I have learned so much in the short amount of time I have spent in West China's tea sittings. The knowledge West China has regarding authentic Chinese Tea is not only vast, but extremely illuminating to the culture and history of tea.
I have experienced very few entrepreneurs as dedicated to their craft as So Han Fam. He sources the best tea and is very sharing and giving with it. He sponsors countless events here in town, spreading tea culture and giving with no expectations whatsoever.
The tea I have purchased from West China Tea company is of the highest quality.
