YinYa Chinese Tea House 인야 전통 중국 찻집 - Sinchon 신촌

YinYa is a Chinese tea place located in Sinchon that I have known about for quite a while but have never had the opportunity to go to until very recently.  This is a nice little hidden gem in the middle of Sinchon that I would recommend to anyone who is a fan of Chinese tea.

The atmosphere in this place is not so different from any other quiet cafe.  There are a spread of tables, quiet music and of course Chinese tea.  The menu appears as if it is a book and is filled with extensive explanations about each of the different varieties of teas.  If your Korean is not good enough to read about tea, it may be helpful to bring a Korean speaker in order to read all of these explanations.

The wait staff is also extremely helpful and will teach you how to make the tea if you are beginner with Chinese tea.  They even provided me with a stopwatch to tell me when to remove the tea from the leaves, and explained the entire process of how to make the tea.

In addition to Chinese tea, this place also makes traditional Chinese desserts, but I did not try any of them so I cannot tell you how any of them are.
