Many thanks!!!

by Charlsey

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 thank you for having such a wonderful person on your staff and to let you know she represents your business well. When it was time for me to go I purchased several teas, two tea cups, and a tea to go, all thanks to the excellent service and knowledge Jenny provided.

Many thanks,

Great Pleac for Teas

by Elaine888

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.

Authentic Tea in Both Kent & Bellevue

by feyerjill

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 recommend going to Xiu Xian if you are in a hurry (easier in Kent than Bellevue). Check out their website: xiuxiantea (dot com) for more info.

• Pros: Relaxed atmosphere (lives up to its name), personable
• Cons: Not good place if you are rushed & just want tea to go
