As I battle with laryngitis I have a new appreciation for tea (9 cups a day keeps the doctor away). I decided to take a moment and spotlight some of my favorite tea shops in America.
Alice's Tea Cup Various locations in NYC. The first word that comes to mind is charming. If this shop was open when I was in elementary school it would've been the perfect place to go for an afternoon snack (and tea of course!) When you walk in you feel as if you have stepped into a make believe princess tea room. While it definitely is geared toward a younger audience, it is a great place for people of all ages to enjoy a great pot of tea. The menu has an extensive and easy to read tea list with wonderful descriptions to guide you through. They also serve soups, sandwiches, salads, pastries, and afternoon snacks (homemade graham crackers and honey $6).
Argo Tea Various locations in Chicago and NYC. Argo Tea is one of the best modern tea shops in America. In my opinion, Starbucks should view this company as a fierce competitor. Argo Tea does not serve coffee, but add an Illy machine and bam! I'm putting my eggs in this basket. What makes this place so special? For one, their loose tea is fantastic. When I was in Chicago this past winter, I stocked up on four different kinds: Pomegranate White, Masala Chai, Carolina Honey, and White Jasmine tea. WOW have these nurtured me through my hoarse laryngitis hours. Even better, the storefront offers some delicious specialty drinks. The Red Velvet in the winter time and the Ice Pom Tea in the summer...mm good. I can't wait for my next visit!
Ching Ching Cha Washington, DC. A traditional Chinese tea house in the heart of Georgetown. This use to be a wonderful oasis from the hustle and bustle of school. There is something so relaxing and soothing about this tea house, it's impossible not to feel refreshed when you leave. A big plus, the staff does not rush you out the door. So bring a book or a friend, take off your shoes, and sip back.
Tea on the go? Next time your in Whole Foods and want something to really quench your thirst try an Ito-En tea. My favorite is the Rose Tea (can I get an amen Emma?)
Enjoy your tea time!

Rose tea is the best! I am also a big fan of Ito En's green jasmine. ALSO, I am dying to hit up Ching Ching Cha; I am always going to Teaism, which is always so crowded and busy that it is often not relaxing at all. Teaism has a great breakfast, though--I am a huge fan of the cilantro scrambled eggs. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing, lady!
