...House does indeed serve tea—in abundance. The space that the GBBCC occupies was formerly a restaurant, and the skeleton of a bar behind the bookstore is now used as a tea stall, storing large plastic containers brimming with exotic varieties of tea: jasmine, fresh fruit, ginseng, oolong and others. Each pot of tea ($5) is accompanied with a bowl of salted peanuts, a western addition to a Chinese staple, and refills are unlimited.
