The Best Tea Shops in Portland, Oregon | Eater Portland
"Smith Teamaker alumnus Ravi Kroesen and longtime mindfulness teacher Veronika Vogler opened this tea shop on Northeast Killingsworth to showcase one-of-a-kind, single varietal teas and distinctive blends. Bardo is an under-the-radar favorite among Portland’s chefs and bartenders, who listen to Kroesen discuss the terroir, flavor profile, and growers of oolongs and lapsang with the seriousness and specificity of a sommelier. On Saturday mornings, Vogler hosts a tea meditation at the shop, serving cup after cup of pu’erh to her silent guests." - Nathan Williams
