Especially if you choose to spend time on the second floor which is decorated with ancient Chinatown-style ornaments, accompanied by old Indonesian songs playing from vinyl records. Hmmm… Sipping a cup of choices from the Japanese Tea, Chinese Tea, English Tea, and Indonesian Signature Tea menu will feel very old here.
For the mainstay, you need to try Phu Earl Tea from China. Pantjoeran also often holds workshops and seminars, you know, the schedule of which you can follow on their social media. Don't forget, you can also enjoy snacks and Chinese food here at the same time.
