Grand Yunnan Tea - Las Vegas, Nevada

Timo Ba Ta Na

I've been a drinker of tea and an enjoyer of it my whole life. This was my first experience drinking tea from a proper shop.
I'm not even wearing socks and it's still blew my socks off.
I can't believe I've never tried this before , the lady that helped me was kind and professional and very knowledgeable and helped me select a good starter tea and I am absolutely going back for more

My friend took me to this tea shop yesterday after she had changed my life with her delicious tea and beautiful set. Upon entering the shop, my senses were calmed and I was blown away by the beautiful sets that were displayed. The real gem of this experience was getting to sit down and talk, laugh, and learn from the owner. She was incredible. So much knowledge to share, very funny, and just overall enjoyable to share time with. She prepped 2 different teas for us to try, each specific for young women and explained the differences and benefits of the teas. I could feel the stress leave my body and I felt an overwhelming sense of calm and my mind cleared. All of us ended up buying our own sets and teas and will continue to return here. You will not be disappointed in going here!

Was able to get into the store, it is honestly really nice inside. They have decent quality tea and source it from one to 2 tea farms back in China themselves.

100% would recommend if you enjoy Chinese tea and Chinese culture . They even have tea pets.

If you enjoy tea this is a must stop experience. As a pure tea lover I was enamored with the displays. Felt like I was back in China. But without the sales pressure. They mainly focus on puer, red (black), and white tea. They also have gorgeous gong fu sets. If you have not yet been introduced to the world of pure tea this is a great place to start.

I was excited to visit this place; when I opened the door, I was overwhelmed with so many things to examine! It all started well enough—I was looking at a pendant and wanted to confirm if it was agarwood/aloeswood, which the owner(?) didn't seem to know so I asked 沉香 in Chinese, which she kindly took out for me to smell; after asking for the price and other varieties & sizes, she brought out more bracelets for me to check out (including ones I didn't ask for)...I guess this was the turning point when she realized that I didn't want to spend a lot of money. After showing me a nice (and kind of expensive) piece, I noticed how quickly she put that back away and left the cheaper ones for me to contemplate. At this point I'm still at the front counter, so I said I'll think about the pendant after I finish the rest of the store. I moved onto the display shelves with teapots—I asked for the Nixing 妮兴 clay, which she mistook for Yixing (Zisha)—I tried to explain what I'm looking for but was told they're her private collection and not for sale anyway; it was nice of her to show me the stuff and even let me take them out to take pictures though. I then made my way to the back where she has very nice Buddhist statues made of jade. She said she has expensive taste and I agreed and complimented her; however, things really went south once I got to the teas.

Again, overwhelmed was the word; with so many varieties of teas, I wasn't sure where to start, so I first asked if there was a menu (assuming they offer tea services based on the reviews) or at least a list of inventory, but was met with "This is not a boba shop or Starbucks," so I asked if I could simply smell the tea leaves, which she replied "If you smell teas, YOU DON'T KNOW TEA" followed by "All the teas that have fragrances are ARTIFICIAL." I told her it's a common practice when I buy teas from Wing Hop Fung (a very reputable tea supply, not to mention most oolong 青茶 teas are fragrant NATURALLY), then she basically reiterated that only her "factory" makes "real" teas. This is some sort of regional superiority delusion because my favorite Phoenix 鳳凰單樅 teas, as well as most teas from Taiwan & Japan are ALL fragrant...
Fine, if I can't smell them, can I taste them? She told me that the minimum purchase is 100g (in short, NO), and proceeded to assume that I can't afford any of the loose leaves so she pushed the inferior prepackaged products. She could've easily charged me $5 for a cup or $10 for a pot; I had every intention to get the $26 or even the $36 teas if I liked them enough, but she made it impossible to know. I asked about the nice tea ceremonies everybody talks about and she basically told me that's for people who have already spent money, but I thought the point was to sample them so you can choose! She proceeded to talk about how people make teas wrong and she's just there to show them how to do it properly (with the teas they already bought yet knows nothing about). Ok, that sounds condescending and a little ridiculous ?
With all my efforts to let her know that I speak Chinese since her English comes off a little rough around the edges, she never reciprocated. I wanted to get something just to prove that I'm not as poor as she thinks (Btw, I saw her checking my outfit & judging me at some point), but decided that since I don't live in NV and she most likely won't be my regular tea supply, it was a waste of effort for someone who clearly thinks they're too good for my business.

Very cozy, delicious smelling place)) The store owner is very hospitable and held a Chinese tea ceremony, told the origin of Puer tea, helped choose a new taste and also treated with cute gifts. I will definitely return to this store when I'm in Vegas!)

This place is a crown jewel of tea stores! It’s much more than a store; it’s a sanctuary. I feel like I stepped into another world. We received a high quality tea tasting and great company and conversation. The people there were Incredibly kind and generous. The quality of the tea is very high as are the tea accessories and ambiance. A place to bring friends and to slip into an exceptional atmosphere. I came away with so much! Tea, one-of-a-kind accessories and very good feelings. Ver grateful!

The owner, Sunina, is so gracious with her knowledge of the processes and history of Puer Chinese tea. As soon as I walked inside, it was clear that I was in special company. The store houses a variety of loose teas, beautiful tea sets, jade and amber jewelry and a beautiful center table at which I had the opportunity to have a tea tasting. The experience was complete with meaningful conversation a delicious tea. My mind was slowed and meaning was restored. I highly recommend this jewel to anyone craving an honest experience.
