Tea House Formosa

The only place I've found that has red bean anything. Perfect place for sweets and craft drinks.

Not from Atlanta, but when I visit, I always make a trip here -- tastes just like it does in Taiwan.

TL;DR: Really nice place with a nice variety of tea options, but the quality of the service is hit or miss. So the store itself is relaxing and stylish. It has a modern tea house aesthetic, with small rooms on the side of the store which a lot of people use for study sessions. The tables are spaced out enough so that the place isn't cramped despite the relatively small area within the store. The tea is hit or miss depending on your tastes. I highly recommend asking the staff for a recommendation based on your preferences so that you don't get something you don't like. Tea is a pretty finicky beverage in general so unless you know what you want right out the gate, I would advise getting recommendations until you're sure. Finally, perhaps the only reason why I give this restaurant a 4 instead of a 5 is the staff. Most of the time you get really nice people who are patient and understanding. Other times you get people who could not care less about the place. For example, I've been here twice in a week before. Both times I ordered an earl grey pudding. The first day, the person who waited our table was extra careful to make sure that the pudding didn't break as she brought it over. She was really nice and considerate given my parties inexperience with tea. The second time I came, the waiter brought the pudding over as a mess, didn't even say sorry (I understand, things happen), and just had a sour attitude the entire time. Now, of course they might have just had an off day, and I don't judge them for it. We all have rough times during work hours, I get it. But it did hamper my experience a bit considering how nice the rest of the staff was. In conclusion, please do go here if you're looking for a nice tea house. You won't be disappointed!
