茶颜悦色

This tea chain got me really curious because it’s at every corner of the busiest shopping streets in 长沙. There could be 3 on the same row of shops and yet it can be spotted again across the road! I just had to try it out.

Being in a country with such rich tea culture, the owner of 茶颜悦色, or Sexy Tea, created the homegrown brand as a modern tea shop representative of the Chinese culture, as if to tell a unique story of the Chinese tea culture. Because it was created in 长沙，you can only find it in 湖南省, not anywhere outside.

There’s mainly the Chinese green tea series and the Ceylon tea series, as well as fruit juices. Had the 幽兰拿铁 which was a concoction of chopped pecan nuts, whipped cream and Ceylon black tea. The staff kindly taught us a 3-step drinking method; Eat the pecan nuts for a nutty start, sip some of the whipped cream before mixing it into the black tea. Once melted, you can enjoy it as a black tea latte! Texture of the whipped cream was so soft as though it was milk froth. Some might find the Ceylon tea taste a little strong, but with the melted whipped cream, the latte turned out to be an enjoyable drink that surprisingly wasn’t too sweet or creamy, with a fragrant finish in fact. Love the 中國風 designs of their cups too, and there are seasonal designs for example like this one for christmas!
