Tried to visit on 12/6 at 7pm and they were closed. I couldn't see a store hours sign or open or close sign so I don't know if they've officially opened yet or their official hours.

Delicious tea and such a friendly spot! The owner is really cool and made me the perfect blend while telling me interesting tea facts. He's very passionate about tea and you notice that through the care he has put into this tea house. Highly recommend.

Lovely magical ambiance. Had an amazing cup of tea, and got several types of loose leaf for home. Great spot.

A simple beautiful space focused on tea! The owner is very knowledgeable and the tea is varied and high quality. Also IT’S OPEN LATE!! Tacoma has been in serious need of a place like this!

This place is lovely. Really relaxing ambience, plus the creative space in the back looks great for tabletop gaming etc. Nice atmosphere.The fact that they're open late is great- I will certainly be coming here in the evening too. We don't have much of that in Tacoma anymore, especially with Bertolino's (≈24hr Cafe) closing a couple years back.Moreover the Tea menu looks really interesting.Would recommend!

This was definitely a well decisioned stop! Wow! I found that something was going into this space a while back and later discovered it was a tea shop. Looking for a tea shop that's not difficult to park in relatively close proximity definitely gathered my attention and being fond of a tea shop in nearby Lakewood that closed definitely had my eyes peeled for finding anymore. The place is quiet and chill which was super nice. Not sure what to order from the menu it was recommended (by the owner I believe) to try the Chai as it was very popular. I went with the caffenated Chai while Steve went with a decaf Chai. Both tasted very different from each other. I really liked mine as it had a great flavor profile filled with all kinds of spices which I love experiencing with a well made Chai.Lots of other options to explore on teas so well worth returning and trying them out.The owner is extremely knowledgeable with all the blends, history of tea and how different kinds of tea works on a person. Pretty amazing actually on how much he knows!

Best quiet place to read, catch up with a few friends and if you want to know more about tea this is the place! Oh if you want to play chess you can...

Great tasting tea. The owner is super nice and an excellent conversation. Very knowledgeable, helpful with selecting tea and side note does tattoos on the side nearby! Great interior space to hang with some games like Parcheesi, the royal game of India! Stop by!!

Stopped into the shop during the Hilltop Street Fair and had a lovely experience. The environment is beautiful, bright, peaceful, and clean. I had a handful of questions that owner kindly answered for me. They showed me the space and made me the best cup of jasmine tea I've ever had.
