New Tea shops –Da Lang town

Saturday, mid-morning, I'm on my way to Chang Ping town, about 30 min. drive. Traffic is lighter than expected so I stopped to check out these new shops. Four brand new shops within about 200 yds. of each other, just opened about two weeks. (pictures of three)
Typical street construction, all over greater Dongguan city district. Just getting to the shop can be an adventure. You fall in an open trench .. that's your bad luck .. its a kind of Darwin thing.
Retail on ground floor .. living space above.
Most tea shops have Green background on their signs or Green Characters
Of the four shops .. I liked this one .. not quite ready for customers
You see a lot of this type of tea cup display ..
The new shops tend to a; "modernistic look"
This one is managed by a young couple .. that morning they were still moving in household furniture - plants, etc.
Interesting that, two of four shops only carried Pu-erh, the other two about an 80/20 mix, Pu-erh to others.
