Overview

The cafe is famous for its handmade milk tea called Siwa milk tea. Known for its natural ingredients, it has no additives and is made from imported materials. Two examples are the Hong Kong silk stocking milk tea, and the British Earl Grey Tea.

The cafe sells books covering three categories: travel, art, and literature. It sells magazines such as 02 life,[2] little thing,[3] 'and 'DuKu.[4]

Another notable aspect of the cafe is the wall called "Mail to Future". There are 365 slots on this wall, and each slot corresponds with one day in a year. Patrons can choose a postcard, write down the receiver’s name and address, and put it into any slot and the postcard will be sent on that day. The wall is a treasure of the market town and it is also known as the only one around China. Additionally, all of the postcards are designed by the shopkeepers. With the help of many friends, there are almost 300 different kinds of postcards that have come out and most of them are related to Suzhou.
