The Tao Of Tea - Portland

My favorite place for a date! The atmosphere is calm and laid-back, creating the perfect setting for conversation or simply enjoying each other's company. While many guests come alone, it's also a great venue for larger groups. The service is consistently excellent, although it can get busy at times—just be prepared for one or two staff members to handle everything. Even then, the quality of service remains high, just a bit slower. When I first visited, I thought I didn't like tea, but I soon discovered the incredible variety and how much better it tastes when it's prepared with care. They have a fantastic selection for those who know what they want, and the staff is very helpful for those who are still exploring their options.

Lovely tea place. Food I would day 4 stars : good vegan/vegetarian variety, but wouldn't go there for food. The tea experience is amazing. For tea 5+ stars Best tea in terms of quality, selection, and pricing. You can enjoy gaiwan style tea and the servers will tell you steep times (I'd recommend looking at YouTube on how to to gaiwan if it's your first time). Everything is authentic from the chai to the matcha. You have to flag down your server for a check or extras. (They will check in to add hot water though). I think that's actually a good thing because with tea you don't necessarily want to be checked interrupted often by a server.

Relaxing atmosphere with water displays in the background, low lighting, plenty of tea options to choose from. There's a little section in the menu for light food options and desserts. There are about 8 tables so we had to wait a bit before being seated. They also have a tea store (in a separated area).

Was in the mood for tea and Google showed me this place. And so I pulled up. I'm so glad I did. The atmosphere is relaxing and welcoming and the tea is amazing! I wanted something sweet and strong and settled for the 500 Mile Chai with Indian jaggery and oat milk. Such a great combo. I would love to come again next time I visit Portland!

The staff and atmosphere here are absolutely wonderful. It’s the best tea house I've ever visited in Portland, and I can’t recommend it highly enough! Additionally, this location has a sister store next door that offers brewing equipment and bulk teas!
