"This breezy cafe located near Brown University serves teas from across Asia, in addition to cocktails, natural wine, fun iced and hot drink creations, and snacks. The best way to experience the breadth and depth of their offerings is to take part in a tea ceremony. This requires a special reservation that gets you an intimate tasting experience led by a tea apprentice, and doubles as a calming break from the swarms of tourists visiting Thayer Street and Brown. But if you’re just looking to switch up your morning caffeine routine, you can still stop by and order a cup of tea, or perhaps an iced strawberry matcha latte with a giant gummy bear. Stop by is the key word here—it’s tough to find a table, and you might have to fight off some students to get one." - grace kelly

"Ceremony teahouse and retail shop on the east side of Providence, Rhode Island, just around the corner from the Brown University bookstore, sources loose-leaf tea from small farmers in China, Taiwan, and Japan. Warm up with a matcha latte and a bowl of congee, or schedule a personalized tasting in the peaceful private tea ceremony room. For a quick cup, pop by Ceremony’s mini location on Brook Street." - Stasia Brewczynski
"Michelle Cheng, who grew up in China before moving to Rhode Island at age 13, got her start in beverages by selling ethically sourced high-quality teas from China, Taiwan, and Japan through her wholesale business, Leafy Green. In 2019, she expanded her business into Ceremony, a modern tea house where you can book a tea ceremony to taste through the oolongs and senchas on offer, or pop by to pick up a hand-whisked strawberry matcha latte to go. The cafe recently added alcohol, including natural wine, sake, and makgeolli." - Jenna Pelletier
"A modern tea house and zero-proof bar in a former teahouse space that grew from a direct-trade tea importing company, offering tastings of premium teas, Chinese pastries, alcohol-free 'wines' (cold-brew teas served in wine glasses), and inventive zero-proof cocktails like a London Fizz and a savory 'Pink Me Up.'" - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
