A beautiful and relaxing place to enjoy a cup of tea. The scones are to die for!

This place looks very cool indeed. I've been travelling a lot recently - Dubai, Cyprus, Crete, Turkey - and in each country they do tea and coffee so differently... I've been thinking about how cool it would be to have a tea room-cum-coffee shop focused on serving up teas and coffees from around the world, nothing fancy, don't need no tea or coffee sommelier or anything, just focused on serving tea/coffee the way they do locally, everywhere from India to Morocco, Argentina to Turkey, you name it... none of that starbucks crap... what do you think?

Cool pic of the sugar cubes by the way!

Thanks, Lara! Yeah, that's an awesome idea. Instead of americanizing the daily coffee/tea ritual, bring it back to the traditional ways of imbibing. Would be very cool indeed.

Actually, there's a very cool tea house in Chinatown in Philly that serves tea in a very traditional Chinese way. They *might* have closed, but it's on 9th and Arch, I believe. I'll post about it if I find the name again.

Yum, this place warms my belly just thinking about it. Mark I'd love to post on this - mind if we use your images?

Mark Schoneveld · 1 year ago

Go for it, Janelle! :)

i could be wrong, but i think it's the same people who have the amazing teahouse on the downtown mall in charlottesville? either way, super awesome.

(maybe i just subconsciously miss charlottesville?)

I agree 100%. The Chai is magnificent. The Random Tea Room is 2nd favorite place in Philly. (1st place Love Park in spring.) Becky is a wonderful person, Jor really is "The Tea Master", Meade is the mellow fellow, Anne is always making me laugh, and I just love Izzy! Try the Hojichi, mmmmm!

Thanks, Ashid - yeah, I totally love this place.
