Food / Modern tea house

tea'stone

tea'stone is a Shenzhen-born brand that has rebuilt Chinese pure tea for the café generation — part teahouse, part design store. Founded in 2018 by a Tsinghua-trained designer, it runs 18 directly-run stores across 14 cities, each a few hundred square metres of new-Chinese design wrapped around a long brewing bar and a "tea wall" of samples from China's core tea regions. Pick from a hundred-plus pure teas — charcoal-boiled, Song-style bowl-brewed, or in a Yixing clay pot, all brewed for you at the counter — or try a modern invention like the t'XO iced tea. Tea is served per person with no refills, so it drinks more like a coffee bar than a traditional teahouse. The retail corner sells the same teas plus the brand's own teaware. Drinks run RMB 38–168.
