"During the day, Steep brews herbal teas in a quiet, barebones space that smells like a Muji showroom. But at night, the shop dims the lights and pours some booze into your oolong. These tea-infused cocktails are unlike anything else in LA, like the light and briney dirty martini that mixes chrysanthemum tea with housemade pickle juice and a bourbon cocktail that’s extra caramel-y when combined with black tea. Although Steep’s nighttime drinks pack a heavier punch than its morning teas, this spot is still very mellow, so use it as a relaxing place to wind down the night.
