Out-of-this-world teas, very cool laid-back host! - Had a great time with Lu tasting his tea! :-)
My girlfriend got me the tea experience as an anniversary present, as I kept mentioning I'm too much into drinking craft beers lately and would love to broaden my horizons with some other great beverages better for my body 😅
Lu has been super hospitable to us, hosted us for many hours and shared a lot of his knowledge about Chinese green tea, Taiwanese oolong, and, best of all, brewed us a sample of each! Lu's got some beautiful teaware, out-of-this-world tea imported from small chinese teamakers and a great banter, we have discussed so many topics! For a tea ceremony, I felt very casual, laid-back, and just like having a good tea-break with friends.
Thaks a lot for the experience, Lu!
10/10 would visit again!

High quality teas, amazing host, relaxing experience for anyone with an interested in Fine food & drinkss - I recently attended a Chinese tea ceremony hosted by Lu, and it was a great experience.
Being myself a tea-ficionado for many years, i can say that Lu is truly knowledgeable about the various types of Chinese tea but also deeply passionate about sharing the traditions behind.
We tasted various teas from China and Taiwan, learned about their origins, their benefits, and how the different processes can impact the final taste. It is rare to find such high quality chinese teas in Europe and i think anyone interested in fine food, wine, or even coffee, would appreciate and benefit from this experience.
The serene atmosphere with beautiful teaware, clear explanations and nice conversation made it a super interesting and relaxing time.
Lu is very friendly, open-minded and welcoming.
Highly recommend this event for anyone interested in tea culture, or even just curious to explore something new.

Sunday, tea and wonderful company - As a tea lover I absolutely enjoyed the beautiful Sunday tea ceremony with Lu and one more friend. Your perception of tea will be completely changed. You will learn history, geography, meaning and experience variety of tastes like never before. Be sure to understand that you don't understand the tea unless you spend a ceremony with Lu. It was one of the best experiences of my life. Knowledge, peaceful atmosfhere and good and wise company. Very rare and very beautiful!
Thank you, Lu!

Let’s talk yea - If you love tea then this experience is for you!
With a knowledgeable and entertaining host dive into the world of tea, through a tasting of teas of different types.
After this I realized that my knowledge of tea only scrapes the surface and I am now curious to see how far down the rabbit hole I can go.

Increadible Tea Ceremony - A must-try and definite recommendation! We had a great time, Lu is a charismatic and tea-passionate host, you’ll feel the sense of tradition and humor in his ceremony.
The tea served is exceptional, big difference from what is sold in the tea stores and what we tried ordering from eBay. To make the ceremony even more magical, Lu did a leaf reading for us!

Let’s get this par-TEA started - If you dream of a soothing break from reality/routine paired with some delicious tea and snacks , this is for you!
We had the pleasure of attending a premium tea tasting at Lu's, and I must say it was a delightful experience!
From the very first moment we were greeted with a warm welcome and a calming ambiance in a beautiful space.
Our host, Lu - a knowledgeable and passionate tea expert - guided us through a variety of premium teas, each one more delicate and special than the last! A remarkable selection of tea, brewed with great attention to detail and so many tea insights we would never get to know. We even learned how different teas are harvested and processed before they reach our cup! It, literally, unlocked a new tea-love for me!
I know I'll definitely visit again when in Prague! Until then I enjoy my own premium cup of tea at home, practicing the magic that Lu taught us!

Meeting a real "Tea Maestro" - Chinese tea tasting experience at its finest! The quality of the teas was exceptional, with each tea having a unique flavor and aroma.
What really set this tea tasting apart was the meticulous brewing process, resulting in a perfect cup each time.
Our host, Lu, took the time to explain the brewing process, the history and characteristics of each tea, and even offered suggestions for how to best enjoy them at home! He willingly answered all of our questions, and gave us a chance to smell and examine the tea leaves before and after brewing.
I was impressed with the personalized attention given to each guest!
I left with a newfound appreciation for tea and I will definitely be returning for future tastings and to stock up on some of my new favorite teas!

A New Appreciation for Tea - I really like tea, but Lu LOVES tea. You can see his appreciation for the tea he has with the ceremony he does. He wants to inform you about the tea and the process in order to make the tea. It was beautiful seeing the tea leaves in the clear tea pot open. The quality of tea Lu has is something a normal tea drinker would not be able to obtain. He even shows videos about the tea. It truly is a unique experience and if you are able to join, I highly recommend to do so. You'll have a great afternoon! Thanks Lu!

Truly authentic Chinese tea ceremony with welcoming host. - Immerse yourself into the millennial Chinese tradition of tea. Lu is not only a very warming host, but also an expert on tea studies - and will guide you through this quite unexpected and unknown (at least for my wife and I) universe, all in his cozy living room.
During the tea ceremony, we got to try different types of Chinese tea, all carefully selected by the host. Lu guides the guests through the whole process - from the tea fields to his cups - with knowledgeable insights (trust me, I had no pre-knowledge on the subject). The “oolong” tea (not sure if that’s the correct spelling) is, in my opinion, the highlight of the ceremony.
An extra note, you also get to enjoy an agreeable morning/afternoon in Lu’s charming living room at the heart of a very cool neighborhood (away from the massive tourists flow of the oldtown) - and I’m sure he’ll offer you precious tips about bars/restaurants around.
Cheers!
