Hou also has a passion for Chinese tea, and loves nothing better than to share a Chinese tea ceremony with customers, showing them how to prepare and appreciate different teas.  Customers love this chance to take a ‘slow food’ moment, and the community of Chinese tea conniosseurs is beginning to grow.
