Stepping into this lovely shop in the picturesque village of Sassafras is like stumbling accidentally into a forest of fantasies and fables.
A made-in-japan mummy hen teapot watched
cautiously while you tickled her guarded black and cream owl mugs playfully;
the chubby frog teapot challenged you for a mischievous fight, while a
disproportionately fat giraffe curiously looked on. A colourful feminine fox
shyly looked away from the chaotic scene, while a quirky little bulldog stared
at you innocently wondering what exactly will come next.
From the traditional auspiciously red
Chinese wedding teapot sets, to charming teapots design of Disney fairy tale
stories; Simple plain colour objects, to vintage Victorian style porcelain
teapots; from the dainty to the outlandish, modern to the ancient crafts, the
Tea Leaves has them all.
Apart from its astonishing collection of
teapots, the Tea Leaves nestled serenely in the heart of Dandenong Ranges is
also a heaven for the tea connoisseurs, with over 300 varieties of fine tea to
choose from. The range of tea includes the divinely Japanese green tea with
flower petals, strong smoked black tea, fruit infused exotic white tea, Ceylon
premium Earl Grey tea scented with natural oil, and calming herbal tea of
distinctive flavour. The mixture of aromas of sweet, spicy and flowery lingers
around the shop at all time.
The prices of the tea are apparently
relatively cheaper than what we can usually get from the grocery stores in
town. You can even replenish your tea supplies by ordering online from its
website.
