Tea in San Francisco Chinatown

I'm planning to trip to San Francisco and was wondering if anyone had any "must-see" spots in Chinatown there that they wanted to reccomend. Any fabulous tea vendors?

Empress of China restaurant, 838 Grant, beautiful & expensive,

The Japanese Tea Garden in Golden Gate Park is very beautiful, but the tea is an embarassment to the Tea Garden. Fisherman's Wharf,

I'll second the vote for the Imperial Tea Court, and add that they also have one in the Ferry building, at the end of Market Street. Expensive, but highly recommended.

Have fun! Dean

The one in the Ferry building has some limited dim-sum type snacks. Not much, and the snacks are expensive, but they are pretty good. The one in Chinatown has only tea.

Neither one of them has Panyong Congou.
