Ching Ching Cha

It's such a GEM!!! The owner is super sweet and friendly!!! Sadly they are no longer serving food, since their new location does not have a kitchen. They will be bringing in house tea drinking back once they get the documents approved!!! I cannot wait to come back when I'm back in D.C!!! Such a quiet and welcoming place to enjoy a nice cup of tea!!! I'd come here by myself or even a date!!!

So glad I decided to visit on a whim when I was exploring the neighborhood during the EU open houses in May. It is a quaint space with not that much room but an intimate feel. Great for dates and gathering with close friends.The owner helped me decide on a lighter Taiwanese Alishan Oolong. She also taught me the technique to set up and pour correctly. You are provided with a refillable kettle of water so you can re-steep the tea as many times as you like. To top it off they sell tons of cute tea accessories and I bought a sample size of the same oolong I tried that day for a friend and hojicha powder as a gift.

I don't live in DC anymore but always love coming back to Ching Ching Cha! I popped in last week while I was in town for a conference and was happy to see the usual selection of nice teas. I picked up a few new ones, with some advice from the manager. It feels like a little oasis inside and was a great break from the 102 degrees outside. Ching Ching Cha forever has a place in my book!

This tea shop was so peaceful and gorgeous inside, and the staff were so kind and attentive! My friend and I wandered in on a hot day and spent a good 2 hours drinking tea, relaxing, and chatting. They also sell tea accessories, tea, and little trinkets.They currently don't have a kitchen so there's no food (they're still trying to orient in the new space after spending 25 years at the old location), but the tea selection is expansive. Most of the teas also come with a tea ceremony and the staff show you how to do it.

They opened a new location in Dupont!I missed out on their Georgetown location (which is now closed). But I'm so happy to visit their new location.The space is very beautiful, but on the smaller side (so you might have to wait for bigger parties!).It is $20 per person for any of the teas on the menu. You get unlimited hot water so you can keep steeping. We were there for over an hour and the tea kept getting better and better (I steeped it over 3+ times) It felt so wasteful to leave my tea, I wonder if they allow you to take home your blend to continue enjoying at home?The ladies there were lovely and seemed like they create relationships with their customers.This is the kind of business I will always support! Now I want to learn more about Chinese teas and learning to steep with different blends.Lovely spot! And very accessible in Dupont! PS, if you choose to sit on the platform where you take off your shoes, it might be uncomfortable if your leg falls asleep. So wear loose comfy clothes!

With only a few tables, and a kettle of boiling water on each one, this small tea house is a lovely place to make friends. First you select from a wide menu of Chinese teas which is then expertly serviced to you with enough beakers and cups to make a chemist proud. Then you sit and relax and sip your little science project. Be warned, this place strictly does loose leaf tea. No match lattes with oat milk and cold foam here. I doubt they even have sugar to add to the tea (never asked). When we went, we invited two other people to join us at the table since space was so limited. We had a great conversation! Tea is a great way of bringing people together and I'd recommend everyone should try to share their table.

Absolutely the best tea house in the DMV to get actual tea and tea accessories. The owner, ching ching, is one of the sweetest business owners you will ever meet. She genuinely cares about her product and your experience. My wife and I love this place so much, we even had our wedding here! It was perfect.

We had a great time here. The owner gave us the history & background of the teas that we ordered. She was so kind. The vibe is very peaceful.

An absolute gem! They've moved from their Georgetown location to this new one and the ambiance remains. The service was top notch and the glassware was unique. For an experience that puts the tea front and center, look no further.

Fantastic vibes and very good tea. Ching Ching offers up a super cozy and welcoming environment to tea enthusiasts and tea newbies alike. I highly recommend. She stocks a nice selection of teas. This is a must visit in DC!Come earlier in the day if you can, you'll be more likely to get a table quickly.
