Purple Cane Tea House (Ipoh) Purple cane continues to promote tea and the art of living with the opening of its tea house in Ipoh in 2010. Housed in a 120-year old historical building, the tastefully-appointed tea house is not only ideal for leisure but also cultural interaction over a good cuppa. Innovative Tea Cuisine To the right is a rustic courtyard, where old-fashioned wooden tables and chairs are shaded by Eugenia Spicata trees with vibrant new shoots. Bathed in the late afternoon sun, the cozy and peaceful sanctuary shelter tired souls from the hustle and bustle for a close encounter with nature. There are two tea rooms featuring charcoaled walls at the back. Nothing comes close to this tatami setting in inducing total relaxation – one can be excused for an extended stay here in the midst of captivating tea aroma.
