Hoà Vui Tea in Gejiu: tea tasting scam?
Ask for the gongfu price per gram upfront.
Per gram only helps if you confirm it's the dry leaf weight, since some shops quote the brewed cup instead.
yeah and dry weight varies with moisture too, so teh quote can shift. Honestly I'd just get the total in writing before they brew anything.
dry leaf weight, always, wet weight is nonsense
Brewed cup quote is the giveaway, walk away.
specifying gongfu style also matters since the leaf to water ratio they use changes what that gram price actually gets u
true, gongfu ratio changes everything. a shop can quote 8g for a 100ml gaiwan then quietly brew 12g. i always watch them weigh it out in front of me.
Ratio plus the actual gaiwan size is what gets u, since a 150ml gaiwan at 8g costs way more than 100ml.
Get the total in writing too.
Worth adding that you should confirm whether that gram price covers the whole session or resets with each steep.
Giang Nam Quán bar in Gejiu, worth a visit in 2026?
Jinhu Dong Lu side, later in the evening.
later is right, the place only really fills up after 9. side streets off that stretch are where the cheap skewer stalls sit, so eat first & drink after. bring cash, some of those spots dont do wechat pay
Agree, though the side entrance off the alley is easier to miss
The alley mouth is unmarked, look for the red lantern.
that side gets the after work crowd earlier too, around 6 to 7, then thins out before the late rush. dont bother before 5, nothing open
no idea about 2026 prices but Giang Nam Quán leans beer-and-snacks rather than cocktails, think 20 to 40 yuan a round
Second this, cash only in my experience
yeah beer & snacks sounds right from what i heard, not really a cocktail spot. 20 to 40 a round tracks for smaller places around there, though i wouldnt bank on 2026 numbers holding tbh
id also expect the snack menu to matter more than the drinks list, like peanuts & grilled stuff to share. prices could drift by 2026 but the vibe probably wont
If you're there on a weekend it can get loud with groups doing ganbei, so go early if you want to actually talk. I'd ask your hotel to call ahead, since small spots there sometimes close without notice.
