Though lacking the potential of the Green Turtle, in practice a local chain called The Coffee Connection (I think) was the best place to hang and drink tea. Not only did they have better tea, they had the largest gummy-candy I've ever seen in my life. I mean, when's the last time you were served a gummy-worm on its own plate? That's right, never. It's things like that that make The Coffee Connection the best cup of tea in Christchurch.
