We had an hour to fill in while at Chadstone the other day, so decided to try out the Oriental Teahouse. The drinks menu had quite a few different teas to choose from…ranging from green teas to herbal teas to black teas! In the end, I went with a favourite…Silver Needles….and my husband chose a […]
Update 15/11/2016 – Sadly, the Travelling Samovar Tea House is now closed. Today, we had a fascinating tea “experience” at the Travelling Samovar Tea House in Carlton North!
