Must-Visit US Tea Shops

Travel | By Lauren DePiero | 2 Likes

When we think of tea time, our minds usually jump to England. However, the US is full of cozy tea shops and even formal tea rooms for high tea. If your perfect day involves sipping on afternoon tea, take a trip to one of these favorite tea places across the US.

If you’re looking for a casual spot…

Samovar, San Francisco, California

With four different locations in San Francisco, Samovar is committed to acting as a haven for guests looking to relax and connect to the present moment. The CEO and founder, Jesse Jacobs, started the shop when she realized that our hyper-connected society has made people stray from connecting with themselves. Visit this tea shop for a peaceful retreat.

Boulder Dushanbe Tea House, Boulder, Colorado

Boulder Dushanbe Tea House, a beautiful tea shop in Colorado, was built completely by hand in Dushanbe, Tajikistan. Then, it was deconstructed and sent to Boulder for rebuilding as a gift. A sign of unity and international connectedness, this is the perfect place to sip tea and enjoy dim sum.

Our Elephant Moon Puerh tea is a delicious ripe, or shou, Puerh tea, great for a rainy day like today! This tea has a smooth and robust earthiness with a hint of watermelon rind. Puerh teas are pile-fermented, which yields a tea that is high in probiotics and low in tannins and bitterness! • • • • • #puerh #shoupuerh #shengpuerh #elephantmoon #puerhtea ##dushanbeteahouse #boulderteahouse #boulder #colorado #boco #rainyday

If it’s a special occasion perfect for high tea…

600 Main Bed and Breakfast and Victorian Tea Room, Toms River, New Jersey

This New Jersey tea spot is modeled after an 1800’s Victorian tea room. Owners Susan and John Notte purchased the mansion and renovated the space. Now, the tea room is complete with delicate tablecloths, antique china and tea pots, and a friendly staff to serve tea accompanied with salads, soups, and tea sandwiches to snack on.

 Palm Court, Chicago, Illinois

The Palm Court at Drake, a Hilton hotel, has been serving tea for about one hundred years. In fact, the Queen of England and Princess Diana have visited the tea room. Guests select one of seventeen tea blends along with a traditional three-tiered tea tray with finger sandwiches, homemade breads and scones, and lemon curds. The tea room also offers a specialty service for kids’ tea parties from 1-5pm.

The Williard InterContinental, Washington DC

The Williard InterContinental has been serving afternoon tea since the 1920’s. The hotel offers different types of afternoon tea to match occasions. The Cherry Blossom Afternoon Tea is part of the hotel’s celebration of the National Cherry Blossom Festival during the spring. During this tea, the harp plays as guests enjoy Japanese savories and pastries. The Holiday Afternoon Tea, offered in December, is complete with festive teas and snacks. Afternoon Tea for Groups is offered all times of year to help guests celebrate the important events in their lives.
