About Us
 Tea entrepreneur David Zhou (originally from Shanghai, China) is the founder of the Oriental Tea House and also owns the very successful David’s Restaurant. Click here to view the David’s Restaurant website.
David started the business with a small tea shop on Chapel Street in Prahran in 1993 and has since grown to become one of Melbourne’s favourite tea + yum cha destination. Yum Cha refers to the custom of eating tiny servings of different foods while sipping some well-brewed Chinese Tea. When most people think of Yum Cha they think Sunday lunch time, but the Oriental Tea House stands apart, serving Yum Cha all through the day, seven days a week.
From our funky designed restaurants to our fun & tasty teas, right up to our healthy Asian cuisine, everything has a modern quirky twist, but still firmly rooted in authenticity. Handmade dumplings and dim sum are created by our Chinese dumpling masters and our range of tasty and fragrant teas are sourced and imported from the highest quality growers, then hand blended right here in Australia.
With a retail store situated at the front of every Oriental Tea House, you can try, purchase and enjoy over 80 delicious hand blended teas. We also offer a great range of Oriental tea ware, designed to accentuate the wonderful properties of each individual tea.
We have been enjoying these authentic teas and meals for generations, we absolutely love tea and Chinese food, and we’re proud to be able to share it with everyone around the world. |
