This weekend, trade your coffee run for something truly unique: a journey into Jiangmen's thriving tea culture scene, where ancient traditions meet modern creativity in breathtaking courtyard settings.
Xuding Renjia · Yi Wu (“墟顶人家·一屋”茶馆)
Step into a world where time slows down. Imagine sipping fragrant tea from artisan ceramic sets, surrounded by timeless architecture, while enjoying delicate Chinese pastries. From trendy tea blends to a revival of classic leaf teas, Jiangmen's courtyard tea houses are redefining tea appreciation for a new generation.
Tucked in Pengjiang District's historic Yuqing Lane, "Xuding Renjia · Yi Wu" (“墟顶人家·一屋”茶馆) transforms a 1930s folk house into a living museum of culture. Original brick-and-wood structures now harmonize with thin palm-leaf fans, vintage phonographs, and Cantonese "Manchurian windows," creating a nostalgic journey through Jiangmen's past.
A pot of good tea (“一壶好茶”茶馆)
Hidden in Renshou Lane, "A pot of good tea" (“一壶好茶”茶馆) occupies a Ming Dynasty-era mansion with 400-year-old bones. Every beam and brick tells a story—restored with care, the space now houses over 400 tea varieties, from everyday sippers to rare collectors' items.
Xi Yun Tea House (溪云茶馆)
In Huangzhuang Community, Xi Yun Tea House (溪云茶馆) revives the spirit of Chengdu's old teahouses. Repurposed vintage furniture and a bamboo-centric design create a cozy urban retreat where locals gather like family.
Pro Tip: Visit on weekends for live tea ceremonies, traditional music performances, and the best opportunity to mingle with locals over steaming cups of history.
