Finally met Uncle G in person! Staff was wonderful as usual. The Blue People is still my favorite.

Got the lychee black (~okay) and siberian rose (~awesome, comparable to shanghai). Tea bags come with stickers with instructions. Give you more tea than they charge

Uncle G is 83 but acts like he's either 11 or 30. This place rules! A must-do in china town.

Ask to try the "popcorn" tea - Milk Oolong. Delicious
