What a year! If we had to summarise the year of 2025 in a few words, it would be: Faith & Values, Resilience, Perspective and Growth.
It has definitely been one of the most challenging year for us to do tea but we have pushed through and came out stronger. We would like to share our biggest gratitudes to all of the customers and friends who support our tea.❤️
Today is the last of trading in 2025, if you were in the area come for a tea. We will reopen the tea bar from 2nd Jan 2026. See you next year!
