    An absolutely delightful and classy experience. The beautiful soft piano music enhanced the already exceptional ambience of the place. We were served by Wiseman, and it was truly a privilege to have him. He was extremely friendly, professional, and very knowledgeable about the teas. I can't recommend him — and the whole experience — highly enough.
