  As a regular at the Wu Wei, my partner and I have always appreciated its cozy atmosphere and extensive tea selection. However, I’ve recently noticed a troubling trend: an increasing number of patrons behaving inconsiderately towards those who are not part of their group. It’s disheartening to see what should be a welcoming community space feeling exclusive and uninviting.<br><br>I wish the owner would address this specific group of individuals about the importance of being respectful to all guests. A teahouse should foster connection and inclusivity, and it’s disappointing to witness the bullying behavior that detracts from the overall experience. I hope for positive changes that allow everyone to enjoy this lovely space.

  This tea room was nice, but wanted to send a message about the type of energy curated in the space.<br><br>On 11/1, a couple ladies wanted to share a poem for a special occasion. They were seen going around the room asking all the guests if they would be OK with a brief sharing; then checked in with an employee and the apparent owner or manager, who gave consent.<br><br>The poem was read. About 2 minutes in and prior to its conclusion, the manager approached, looked over their shoulder, and asked "are you about done?". Completely disrespectful and disrupted the whole vibe. The reader was affected by this and did not finish the poem.<br><br>Just goes to show: aesthetics aren't everything, and even a place that looks serene, safe, inviting can be fake if not managed with a little heart. A Fairfax tea room that doesn't have tolerance for a short poem? Management should have been thanking the reader for enriching the space.

  Honestly the vibe here can’t be beat. If you like cozy tea temple vibes you’ll love this place. The vibes are friendly, artsy, and relaxed. There’s cushiony places to sit inside and wooden benches with string lights out back. The first time I came, it was an event night and it was PACKED. We felt lucky we found a seat to squeeze into. This second time was a non-event day, which felt much more spacious and peaceful. We had many seating options and chose to sit outside. I should note we came in a bit past 9pm. This place is open until 10pm and a fair amount of people were hanging out until the very end, though was not crowded. The service was warm and kind, offering us heavy blankets for outside and recommending favorite tea mixes. Perfect place for an intimate chat. I had the super charged maca stallion elixir and felt so revitalized by the combination of that warm drink and the peaceful atmosphere outside. The drink was very cacao forward and I liked that. My friend got the pine pollen elixir, which was more floral and light; kind of tasted like what you’d imagine a moonbeam to taste like. I still liked mine better because chocolate!<br>As a fun side note: My friend and I also made a bit of collaborative art together by dripping some of our elixirs onto paper, tilting it around, and taking turns adding some colorful accents. Highly recommend bringing some journal or art supplies here because when you’re feeling relaxed and peaceful, it’s a great time to engage with those mediums!

  Super laidback vibe with very comfortable ambiance and seating, really friendly staff. They have nice backgammon boards, the patio is a good spot to play some games.<br>Recommend the homemade root beer and the labni/feta dip platter
