China Ching Cha Chinese Teahouse in Georgetown, Washington DC
I think every tea lover has a running mental list of places we’d like to visit. Ching Ching Cha has definitely been on mine for a while. +Georgia SS does a great job of describing her experience there. Now I’m looking forward to the food as much as the tea!
