TEAKI: Specialty Teahouses in Chengdu

4 teahouses

Chengdu

Bu Zhi Chun Zhai (不知春斋)

A rock-tea outpost, tucked behind a courtyard wall.

Wuyi rock-tea house and tea-themed inn founded by 草木君, a Wuyi Mountain native who spent thirty years around the leaf before opening in Chengdu in 2021. Ground floor is a working rock-tea shop with cha xi. Nine themed rooms upstairs each riff on a Wuyi cultivar.

Tea Room

Gui Cu Tea House (归簇居茶馆)

Sichuan green tea, brewed by the person who chose it.

Small owner-run tea room known for carefully brewed Mengding Ganlu, served in a bluestone courtyard with bamboo and mung-bean cakes made in-house. A quiet counterpoint to Chengdu's louder social-tea tradition.

Wuhou (Tongzilin)$$

Tea House

Kuanhe Tea House (宽和茶馆)

A Mengding house that reaches for Wuyi and Yunnan.

A themed tea house built around Mengding Mountain leaf, with a wider serious-tea program: wild Ganlu, Anxi tieguanyin, Yunnan puer, Taiwan Dongding oolong and Phoenix Dan Cong. Big by TEAKI standards, small by Chengdu ones.

Tea Room

Mi Xun Teahouse (谧寻茶室)

Where a monastery kitchen meets a Wuyi kettle.

Michelin-starred tea room and Sichuan vegetarian kitchen inside The Temple House hotel, drawing on the food traditions of neighbouring Daci Monastery. The tea program runs a pared-back gongfu service with single-origin Wuyi Da Hong Pao and Yunnan puer alongside the kitchen.
