About Our Teashop

The Floating Leaves Teashop is a tranquil place to sample teas in the traditional Taiwanese style.

The new location focuses on selling loose-leaf teas and providing experiences that broaden your understanding of tea. Modeled after the teashops and tasting rooms of Shiuwen's native Taiwan, this tea is an oasis of good tea and good humor.

Inside Floating Leaves you will always find friendly, knowledgable staff who are looking forward to showing you new teas, and discovering which Taiwanese Oolongs are your favorites. Advanced tea drinkers can try tasting teas in the traditional "bowl style", or, if you're newer to oolongs you will be introduced to Gong-Fu style tea sampling.

About The Old Teahouse

The Floating Leaves Teahouse was Seattle's first authentic Taiwanese teahouse. Modeled after the teahouses of Shiuwen's native Taiwan, this teahouse was an oasis of tranquility and good humor. The new teashop keeps the same charm in a smaller location.

Our interior is still furnished with Chinese antiques, welcoming hosts, and a soundtrack ranging from classical and contemporary Asian music to local music made by Asian influenced musicians. Come sit down with us and learn as much about tea as you like.

Our Previous Location

We intend our new teashop to be as much a cross-cultural venue as the old teahouse, a place to bring together the best of East and West. Come experience the richness of Asia's tea tasting tradition.

Thank you,

Shiuwen Tai
