Where to Sip Soothing Teas in Portland

"Smith Teamaker is one of the most renowned large-scale teamaking companies in the United States, and its tasting room in Northwest Portland reflects the late Steven Smith’s relentless drive to introduce a wider audience to quality tea. The light green interior creates the impression of being inside a hot cup of green tea, which isn’t necessarily a bad sensation on a typically dreary Portland afternoon. Tea options include a handful of distinctive choices in each major category, as well as tea lattes, iced teas, gaiwan service, and tea flights. The food menu incorporates tea thoughtfully, with things like granola topped with chai milk and chocolate-tea pairing flights." - Nathan Williams, Eater Staff
