ZenZOO

Vega Trader recently discovered:

What?
ZenZOO Salon de Thé is a Taiwanese tea house offering small
dishes and exquisitely prepared teas.

zen1
Where?
13 rue Chabanais, 75002 Paris, next to the Square de Lully,
in between the Metro stations Quatre-Septembre (line M3) or Pyramides
(lines M7 and M14).

zen3

Why?
Because the tea you will get there is so different in its style
from the tea that is served usually throughout Europe.

zen2
Tips?
- As the atmosphere is very loud and crowded, especially for
lunch or dinner time, take your tea with you to the nearby Square de
Lully, a small park ground with a water fountain, and enjoy it over
there. My personal favourite: Cold coconut tea with milk and jelly
ZenZOO pearls in it. Delicious!
