Biochi Tea Lounge

Antwerp


If you just want a cuppa go elsewhere. This place is for tea connoisseurs who want to savour rare Chinese brews like Wild Purple or En Shuy Lu in an almost meditative setting (tea €7 to €15).

Three tea tastings cost from €25 per person, with explanations and ceremonially intricate preparation – allow a couple of hours. Tea leaves to take away cost €150 to €500 per kilogram.
