Frommer's Review
Located in a unique octagonal building on the south bank of Hou Hai, the Fu family's teahouse is among the city's most charming, furnished throughout with a pleasantly haphazard assortment of Ming reproduction furniture. Owned by a former mechanics professor and run with help from his friendly English-speaking mother, it sometimes plays host to poetry readings, lectures, and classical Chinese music performances. Teas are reasonably priced at ¥50 to ¥152 ($6.65-$20/£3.35-£10) for a pot with unlimited refills, presented on a fan. There are also free snacks. Semi-private rooms branch off to all sides. Open from 10:30am to midnight.
