Cute tea house in the heart of Grade Ave!
We were greeted right away with warm smiles! I'm not sure if we had a lost looks on our face but the woman at the register seemed to sense it and was very helpful! She showed us thru the menu, chit chatted with us, and even answered a few questions we had. They have different varieties of tea which is, of course expected at a tea house. There were pictures of the loose leaf teas that you can purchase in bulk which I thought was really nice. Also the drinks were very descriptive so you understood what you were getting and even when we had questions about a certain blend the employees would try to best explain how it taste and even made recommendations!
My family and I ordered: Chai tea with almond milk, London Fog with almond milk, CacTea, and a Genmaicha Latte all iced! Okay so can I just talk about their chai for a bit?! It is so UNIQUE! It is a concentrated version that they make themselves! My mom got only a little bit because she didn't really like too much spice so it was more milky but still a subtle hint of that gingery spice. I like more spicy so next time I go I'll have to try their chai how it's meant to be! The London Fog was pretty tasty! The Genmaicha was recommended to us because we were wondering how the toasted rice would taste like and the woman up front said the flavor is similar to a rice krispy, but to me it tasted like Chex. MY drink happened to be my favorite! The CacTea, the name alone just speaks to me on a spiritual level. It was very floral which I enjoyed and I asked for it with honey to give it a hint of sweetness. It was perfection! Unfortunately I only got a flight of iced teas, but I will definitely be back to try theirs hot teas!
