A teahouse is a place where people can gather to enjoy tea and other refreshments. It is usually a quiet, peaceful environment, often with traditional decorations such as Chinese calligraphy, paintings, and flowers. A teahouse typically serves tea in various forms such as oolong, green or black tea. Other drinks such as coffee may also be offered. In some teahouses snacks such as dim sum or pastries may be served. Teahouses are popular places for social gatherings and conversations among friends or family members. They are also great places to relax and unwind after a long day of work or study.
