Tea Studio on Vasilyevsky: Description

Tea Studio on Vasilyevsky is not really a cafe, but rather a small shop where visitors can taste and purchase teas from the dozens of available varieties. Tea Studio focuses on tea and tea only, and shoppers looking to purchase teas to take home are met by knowledgeable staff who can help with choosing the perfect leaves, tea set, and even gifts for tea connoisseur friends and family. Those looking for a tasting have several options - trying a single variety of tea without any formal ceremony is completely free, while formal ceremonies vary in price depending on the level of involvement of the staff and the difficulty of the brewing process. In different options, tea can be prepared on an open flame, using steam, or in a traditional teapot. Studio staff familiarize the tasters with the history of the tea they are tasting and aid in the preparation of the tea.
