The perfect spot for a cup of tea on a cold winter morning or a hot summer day. A gem in the city.

Great concept. Having twenty types of tea. But.... - they don't let you steep it yourself. So it's weak, weak, tasteless. Both the Golden Assam and Masala Chai. Just tasted like nothing. I drink tea all the time and know what it should be like. Was it old? Do they need a new supplier? - there's no place to sit. At all. - it's so greasy inside, your clothes smell like oily sausage even after you leave - the order-taker was looking past me as I ordered. The whole time. Really? Didn't you ever work at a fast food place when you were a kid, and learn about customer service? Or didn't you ever think that as a fellow human, you could at least make eye contact with people in front of you, who are coming in to support your business?

Nice little lobby, very friendly and helpful staff. Surprisingly decent prices for loose leaf tea too! Will definitely be back.

I visited for the first time today. The tea menu was extensive, the cup I got was excellent (vanilla black) and the staff was super friendly. I would definitely go here again in the future!

The cashew cream is deliciously garlicky and mildly sweet. Goes great as a spread on just about anything. The beet berry kombucha was brewed for a long time as it definitely tasted like mostly acetic acid at that point.

I used to come to Tea Revival often and always loved it. I went this morning for the first time in two years, and was sadly disappointed. I frequently used to get the avocado toast and a matcha tea latte. I ordered the same thing today - Tea Revival now uses a different supplier so the toast is a different, lower quality and it unfortunately is very apparent in taste. A matcha tea latte from Tea Revival used to be pricey but at least it came in a big to-go cup. The one I got this morning was in a tiny disposable solo cup - I did not see a size but when I compared it to a Starbucks small or tall cup, it is smaller. For two small matcha tea lattes and two avocado toasts my total was just under $30. Insane prices. Just not worth it.

Couldn't ask for a better way to start my morning. I had the house brew, topped off with cinnamon ,and a splash of oat milk. Every true coffee lover knows that the true test of coffee is if it can stand alone. This hidden gem is located right off church ave. My breakfast sandwich killed. From the thyme, lol that was spent making it to the delicate, cheese , tomato and egg that topped it. I'm not sure what aioli dressed it , but I'm sure Amber (the reason the place is a gem)will tell me on my next visit. I'm sure Rising Star is great but I'm happy the line was long ,and I opted for Revival instead.

It's like, the place that I WILL spend a lot of money on Avocado toast at because it's like, thicc and good.

This place is the best! I had a rice bowl that was truly divine! Not kidding...it was so good. I had a GABA black tea-refreshing. Dessert...an oatmeal chocolate chip cookie what can I say, it did not disappoint! This place is truly comfortable. I had a sense of peace. Wow. What else can I possibly say?

Shop: 5/5 A little quiet, cozy, and homey space! I sat along the windows in the front of the shop and had enough space to enjoy my tea while I read a book on my laptop. My seat was close to the serving area and it was convenient for me to put back my cup to be cleaned. My seat also allowed me to soak in the aromas of the different teas being ordered by other customers. Service: 5/5 I believe my server's name was Steven. He did a great job with getting my tea ready quickly and provided me with a lot of information regarding my further tea questions. I was also able to learn about future plans for the shop. He definitely got me excited for what is to come! Drink: 5/5 The Sencha (Japanese tea) I ordered was quite soothing and mild in taste. It wasn't too strong but rather subtle. This tea was a great pick me up for my day. The price to serving size ratio for the tea was quite cost effective as well. Quality tea for an appropriate price that's for sure! :) I am hoping to come back to this shop whenever I am in the area again. You should too!
Cleveland Tea Revival is an amazing hidden gem! The staff is very knowledgeable, She asked me what I like and was spot on. With her recommendations. I bought the peach peony, church ave lavender and shark week which is my new love. You can buy everything you need to brew your loose tea right in store. The also had avocado toast which also was amazing. This place is very cute I can't wait to go back.

This place is adorable! Friend and I recently went here when she was in town and she's a big tea drinker so we stopped running. I've actually walked by her several times and never been here so I'm glad we stopped. Inside it's so cute I love the old ceiling and the exposed brick on the wall. The Decour and feeling of the place is really cool. There's not a whole lot of seating that's comfortable but there still probably enough room for about 10+ people. Plus a couple of tables outside. We shared a pot of tea which is literally the most adorable thing I've ever seen - tea related. We shared the hibiscus berry tea which is caffeine free. We found it to be so delicious. It has hints of rose, hibiscus, and several different types of berries. The staff is super friendly and I'll definitely be returning to try some different types of teas.

A good hidden gym, definitely worth a stop if you are in Cleveland! Great vibe, unique toast, and good teas.

CTR is fun and cozy, with amazing teas, employees who are friendly and accommodating, and a really cool antique atmosphere. Try Wuyi Ginger.

Love this place! Fantastic tea collection. We got the Wuyu Oolong and the Lavender Teas. Both were delicious. The shop is nice and quaint. I love the set up for tea when you order a pot of tea. Will definitely come back next time I'm in town.
