Arate Tea Cafe

To be honest, I don’t even know much of their products other than the ones my family and I always drink. Arate is a tiny hearty family-​run business that is located in our neighborhood mall (KL Festival City Mall) and one day we decided to try just because they kept on promoting, «Come and try our tea!»
We always drink either their signature milk tea (RM 5.90), or peach black iced tea (RM 4.90), and it dangerously becomes our weekend staple visit. Their teas are made of some awesome teabags (they also sell the individual teabags for RM 2.50 per piece).
I genuinely love the smell of their teabags as well as their fresh-​brewed teas. My favourite teabag choice is brown rice green tea, mint rose tea, and stress relief tea that I normally bring for a morning treat in the office. The shop owner will write the benefits of the tea for you and inform you personally when is it best to drink the tea, e.g. after meal, or before sleep hour. To me the little details like this does contribute to what makes me come back to them on my each visit to KL Festival City Mall.
Other than teas, they have simple meals in the menu too — like fried sausages or curry flat noodles, and also some ice creams too. I’ve never tried these items though.
Again, Arate is a family-​run business, and unlike other franchised tea businesses, it might not have the most beautiful and/​or comfy setup for customers to hang around long. However, the shop owners are really friendly and personable they will remember your every favourite beverage — plus some heartwarming smiles — each time you pay a visit. :)
