Kylie Tsai tells Meal Ticket she hopes to have Cups & Chairs Tea CafÃ©, at 701-03 S. Fifth Street (the intersection of Fifth, Monroe and Passyunk) open by May. Tsai, a Taiwan native who worked for many years in the IT industry, will offer an international selection of looseleaf tea, available to sip in at one of 30 seats or to go for home brewing. She also plans on serving lattes using matcha, the concentrated green tea Japanese traditionally use for tea ceremonies. Food-wise, Cups & Chairs — the space was formerly a fabric store — will offer pastries, sandwiches, panini and soups. (Thanks to Meal Ticket tipster DH for the heads up.)
