In recent years, unique coffee shops have emerged everywhere in Chongming. But what is a tea café, do you know? Recently, Chongming's first new Chinese style tea and coffee shop, Hehuan Tea&Coffee, opened, attracting many citizens.Hehuan Tea&Coffee is located at 858 Gangdong Highway, Gangxi Town. As soon as you step into the store, the new Chinese style decoration catches your eye. The space decorated with logs and natural plants creates a peaceful and comfortable atmosphere. The outdoor space is even more unique, with wooden tables, chairs and oil-paper umbrellas, just like the scenes in the TV series "A Dream of Splendor". Chen Ruirui, the head of Hehuan Tea&Coffee, told the reporter that she is a native of Chongming and works as an advertiser. However, she has always wanted to open a coffee shop in Chongming.

"We want to create a 'rural reception hall' here, providing young people with a place for leisure and entertainment. Moreover, I personally love Chinese traditional culture and hope that through this form, young people can experience and fall in love with our Chinese traditional culture and enhance cultural confidence," said Chen.

Here, the traditional Chinese covered tea cups and coffee have had a wonderful collision. In the covered tea cups with a blue and white background, a cup of fragrant coffee becomes the protagonist, and the flowing aroma of coffee in the cup gives people a magical feeling of overlapping time and space. Besides drinking coffee, as a tea café, tea is also essential here. Whether it's hand brewed tea, stove brewed tea, or tea infused with coffee, you can experience it here.

Although it has only been a short month since its opening, the Hehuan Tea&Coffee team has been innovating and developing products. Chen said that they will launch one to two new products every week. As the New Year approaches, the store has recently launched several new products full of New Year flavor. A cup of "Fortune and Longevity" can instantly remind people of eating sugar coated haws in the childhood.

"The decorative paintings in our store are all created by Chen Qi, vice president of Shanghai Artists Association, with a profound artistic and cultural heritage. In the future, we will also strive to create some peripheral products. At the same time, I hope the café can not only be a place for drinking tea and coffee, but also a social place, and a space for cultural output. In the future, we will also carry out more activities," said Chen.
