Te House of Tea
Te House of Tea is a lovely little tea house in the River Oaks/Montrose area of Houston. They offer a wide selection of loose leaf teas, served in lovely Bee House pots and cups. I've been there once, and I had the Princess Jasmine, which is jasmine, orange, and pouchong. It was a wonderful jasmine with a delicate orange flavor. As well as fine loose teas, they offer special drinks such as the Immunitea, which is an iced mixture of matcha, pomegranate juice, and apple juice. The tea is served in the pot, and the waitress instructs you on how long to let it steep when she brings it to your table. They also serve a variety of delicate dishes to complement your tea. Their scones are delicious, and I've also tried the potato samosas, which were lightly spiced and very filling and warm, and the quiche, which was full of sweet tomatoes, fresh spinach, and tangy feta cheese. The atmosphere is casual and pleasant, I think it will become my new favorite place to study. They're open late (until 10 during the week, and 12 on the weekend), have wi-fi, and a quiet, calm environment. Of course, I won't be studying during the Friday night tango sessions - which is one of the special events they host on a weekly basis. Not all their tea is fair trade, as someone said, but the menu indicates which teas are. I highly recommend this place.
