Shantang Street has always been a favorite place of literati and artists, and it is famous for its strong Wu style and ancient charm. There is a teahouse here with a history of many years - the old neighborhood teahouse, sitting on the beautiful scenery of the river side of the monk bridge outside the city of Gusu, and won the title of "characteristic teahouse" in the first star evaluation of the Suzhou teahouse industry in 2015.
The old neighborhood teahouse has its own Biluochun tea base in Xishan Town, Suzhou, and the quality control is passed, while other teas are purchased by suppliers. The teahouse does not have a full-time tea artist, which is a little regrettable. The Biluochun of the teahouse has the pre-Ming super-grade, the pre-Ming first, and the second-class, and the Longjing has the pre-Ming first, second-class, which is more detailed than many old teahouses.
Generally, most of the customers who come here to drink tea are tourists, so the teahouse sells more single cups. The tea soup is served in a glass, and the performance is futile. For tea customers who choose pots, the teahouse provides ordinary porcelain teapots or glass teapots, each pot has two porcelain tea cups (10 yuan / cup), and the texture is average. By default, the teahouse uses tap water as the tea water.
The large private room on the second floor can meet the business entertainment needs of tea guests, and kung fu tea can be selected. It is still limited to two people in one pot, but the matching tea set is already a standard kung fu tea set to meet the needs of tea etiquette, and the additional cup is 20 yuan per cup. At the same time, the tea water has also been upgraded to Nongfu Spring drinking water, and the taste has risen to a higher level.
The advantage of the large private room on the second floor is the riverside scenery outside the window, which gives people a great sense of pleasure. There are three tables in the private room, one of which is dedicated to kung fu tea, and the other two tables for 4 people can be used for tea of your choice. Other private rooms are smaller, generally only able to seat two or three people, and the comfort is poor.
As an old teahouse with a long history, the performance of the old neighborhood teahouse is average, but the price of relatives, good scenery and more enthusiastic service make it a leisure place worth visiting.
