Zhao Zhou tea shop — Restaurant in Budapest

Let's be real. You've been to Altair, to Sirius and Vörös Oroszlán. And don't get me wrong, they are great tea houses (see my reviews!). But, if here is one place in Budapest that's aimed for authentic tea enthusiasts (or enthusiasts of authentic tea!) this is it. 🍵

The owner is visibly passionate about tea and happy to share this knowledge in a non-patronising way recommending teas to fit your preferences and mood. Even if you're not familiar with any tea or with gong fu brewing, you won't feel out of place here.

Highly recommend if you want somewhere to go after a long day of walking or somewhere to take...
