Many thanks!!! – I visited the store here at Crossroads this past Tuesday. The store was busy with several people both inside and sitting outside at the tables and chairs. Immediately upon entering the store, I was warmly greeted by Jenny. I stayed for about an hour doing tea tasting with two other customers and during that time I observed Jenny attending to the many customers coming in and out. Although she was the only person on staff that evening, she made us all feel as if we had her undivided attention. I wanted to say ... read more

Great Pleac for Teas – Thank you for letting me sit and read a book for 4 hours while it sizzled outside. And thank you for making a special latte. I also appreciate the fact that you don't add color to latte's -:) I love the service, the happy smiles and, of course, discovering wonderful teas at very quaint little shop with very knowledgeable staff.

Best Darn Tea in Washington located in Bellevue and Kent – Xiu Xian Tea is located in both Bellevue and Kent! We do so love being greeted at Xiu Xian Tea that we must take a few minutes to sit down and enjoy the many teas, including sometimes the red teas, with all the wonderful people that happen to come by to try the teas as well before they buy. We always tend to over stock our intended quota of tea to buy because of how we know these rare and wonderful loose leaf teas will make us feel at home. Most especially wonderful,... read more

Authentic Tea in Both Kent & Bellevue – Xiu Xian Tea is located in both Bellevue & Kent. Citysearch really should put their Bellevue address on their website. The Bellevue place is in the Crossroads mall between Firenze/Guidos & Udopi Indian restaurant. I've truly enjoyed getting to know the owners (like friendly neighbors than just business owners) and sipping tea, so many I can't count. It's like the Cheers place, where everyone knows your name, only it's tea. My experience is similiar to others. However, I wouldn't recomm... read more

A real thing – Good: As Tea becomes more popular, even as people sense that if one teashop is profitable another will be also, you will see advertisements; do not fall for gimmicks. Because Xiu Xian is authentic and every tea comes from China, while other shops disregard the quality issue out of necessity. Because the owners are frugal and control expenses, they can provide the best quality tea at a reasonable cost. For the customer it is a win-win situation that is rare in this world of fast foods and misconception.. Bad: T... read more

I am hooked on their TEA LATTE's! The art tea is great for hosting, I have relatives who live out of state, now ordering from their website. I met Mako at her store in Kent prior to the Bellevue store opening, and wow, I knew the new store is great too, not only because of the calming atmosphere, and choices of tea, but Mako takes the time to educate her customers, and make us feel right at home! Great service!

What's new & cool in Crossroads? – Well, I've just made another trip to Xiu Xian, because the new spring sprout has arrived at last! This is a wonderful treat for those who love GOOD Chinese tea! I am especially partial to the new Imperial green. Another new (inexpensive) treat by Jenni & Mako are the wonderful, cold blended teas that were added! My favourites are the Lavender and Chai lattes (I take mine with soy milk), but they also have a blended black tea latte made with Pur'h (which I normally don't much care for, but t... read more

Best Tea and atomosphere in WA – The tea tasting experience is wonderful and the tea is superb. The store clerks allow us to hang out and drink tea. Everyone there is friendly and easygoing.

The Best teahouse in Washington!!! – Wow! What an experience. I don't think I can say anything better than the reviewers I follow. I loved that Jenni offered to brew any tea I wanted. She didn't just hand me a little sample and walk away. I got to experience tea sampling. We sat down at a beautiful wood table with matching chairs while she brewed the tea. She explained the best way to brew each specific type of tea. I was able to sample it two or three times, each cup better than the last. There was no pressure. She was very... read more
