I had some tea in the Lan Su Chinese Garden in downtown Portland, Oregon. I looked for some history on this particular tea house, and couldn’t find specifics regarding it’s exact history. The building was very detailed. When I visited in 2015, they held tours and tea ceremonies given by tea masters. I ordered a tea and a mooncake. Although I am not a connoisseur of tea and I probably couldn’t do justice to the more delicate flavors, both were delicious. The windows to the structure were open, overlooking the lake. The morning breeze was filled with the fragrant blooms. It was a great way to start the day.
