(FI) Syksy lähestyy ja kelit viilenevät pikkuhiljaa, tosin Budapestissa ollaan vielä yli 30 asteessa, mutta tee maistuu toki lämpimilläkin ilmoilla. Bongasin keväällä mielenkiintoisen teekaupan, jossa voi myös maistella eri teelaatuja tai poiketa ihan vaan kupilliselle.
Tunnelma Zhao Zhou -teehuoneessa on ihanan seesteinen ja jotenkin tosi puhdas. Sisustus on pelkistetty, mutta lämmin ja palvelu todella asiantuntevaa ja luontevaa - mikä valitettavasti on aika harvinaista Unkarissa.
Zhao Zhou'ssa järjestetään aina silloin tällöin teekursseja, joissa maistellaan ja tutustutaan eri teelaatuihin, teen valmistamiseen sekä historiaan. Katsoin juuri, että seuraavat tähän mennessä julkaissut syksyn kurssit ovat unkariksi, mutta todennäköisesti myös englannin kielisiä on tulossa.

Autumn is arriving and the weather is turning cooler - well, in Budapest the temperature is still above 30˚C. Anyways, tea is a good choice in any climate. Last spring I spotted this fascinating tea shop called Zhao Zhou, where you can also taste different variaties of tea or just pop in for a cup.
The atmosphere at Zhao Zhou is lovely, relaxing and pure. The interior is minimalist yet warm & cosy, and the service is brilliant - they really know everything about teas.
Every now and then they organize tea tastings at Zhao Zhou. Those are great events to get to know more about different varieties, how to prepare a perfect cup of tea and the history of tea. I just checked that the next events are all in Hungarian, but most probably some English ones will also come up soon.
Not a Great Fan Of Tea. But those do look like premium version of tea. Maybe In winter you could start a shop and you know sell distribute in different countries. Our Country India is a tea consumer at least in higher class people.
ReplyDeleteThese are premium versions indeed :)
DeleteI love tea! That sounds like fun! I really like your pictures in this post, they are really arty and give a real feel for what you are portraying.
ReplyDeletewow! this is an amazing place and I loved your photos! I am in love with tea, so I am a little bit jealous of you! Have fun!
ReplyDeleteWhat a relaxing way to spend one lazy afternoon. I regonise the red flower just dont know the name...in Thailand we make a sweet drink with them.
ReplyDeleteAhh, that a perfect day, spending at utter ease and tasting some great beverages as in Tea! I love different flavoured teas!
ReplyDeleteI loved your photos and Budapest sights, i love consuming tea twice in a day, those tea pots looks amazing, have fun !
ReplyDeleteI have actually never been to a tea tasting before. I think it's a great idea as many of us don't know much about tea and only recognise the usual suspects in our supermarkets. I remember gooing to China and having some delicious tea there, but I wouldn't recognise it now.
ReplyDeleteI love tea, be it any kind. I have been a tea ceremony in Tokyo and loved the experience; this one looks different but definitely intriguing. I'd love to try it when I get a chance to travel to Budapest. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm such a big fan of tea, I drink it in every season and love it.
ReplyDeleteI have many varieties, some from Vietnam and other countries. These look like excellent quality and I'd really like to try them.
I love all types of tea. it started when I tried to develop my palate for it. So I did pick up the nuances and figured out what I like and what I don't—takes time. It also pays to have some guidance.

I just love tea and coffee. I use to have 5-6 cups a day (after I control a lot). I haven't tasted tea of Vietnam or any other country but in our India we used to have Darjeeling tea and Assam tea. I had been to a tea tasting center in Kerala's gardens.
ReplyDeleteI have never been to Budapest before but certainly intend going there at some stage. I absolutely adore tea and being from Ireland and living here its hard to get away from tea. We are a nation of tea lovers along with the UK. I would adore to go to a tea tasting. Bliss!
ReplyDeleteMy son and I love experimenting with new and different teas. When I saw him last weekend, he gave me some really great green tea and I've been using it to make smoothies all week. Green tea + almond milk + avocado + chlorophyll + vanilla + cardamom. Yum! x
ReplyDeletewell I'm a brit so you know we love our tea...and because of this review i will definitely head there in spring as il be going to budapest so i need to try it out
ReplyDeleteI am great tea lover and it is the first thing I want in morning. Tea tasting in Budapest must be fun for me and I will really try this. Wonderful shots of tea leaves and tea pots.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely adore tea and have been getting into more loose leaves as I got some for christmas last year. I just love how easily customizable and more poignant the flavoring is. Zhou looks incredible!
ReplyDeleteI am not a major tea fan, but I am intrigued by this tea and the arrangement.
