Cup of Tea

Great little shop, books with menu and full detail about the tea they sell! Fun stop to make on special days in the sunshine!

Great selection of loose leaf tea from a wide variety of styles and regions! Tea enthusiasts will not be disappointed. I absolutely love that you can get 1oz sizes as a low commitment way to try new teas. It shipped so fast and everything is delicious.

Amazing Tea house! I didn't expect to find such a cool gem in the suburbs. I live in Portland, and this is truly an exceptional tea house, on par and even better than the tea houses I've been to in Portland proper. I really wish they had one closer to me! They had an incredible selection, very fresh herbs and tea. The staff were very kind and attentive and had some great recommendations. I had a vanilla black tea, and my husband had one of the chai blends. Both were so delicious! I plan to come back. Highly recommend!

1000/10! First time customer. This place was recommended by some of my coworkers. I placed an online order for shipping. There unfortunately was an issue with shipping and the package ended up lost. This business went above and beyond to make it right! Thank you Susie!!! We waited to see if USPS just didn't scan it, this happens alot :) Susie personally repackaged my order and even sent some extra goodies and a sweet note. The tea is wonderful! Ordered lots of the Chai varieties. Can't wait to order more of the gift sets for the holidays. Also one of the few places I've found that has rock sugar! Many thank yous! 😊 looking forward to my next order.

First time inside the store today. Super cool stuff and very knowledgeable on teas and their effects. This place is amazing, staff is super friendly and welcoming to newcomers in the tea world. My new favorite place.

What a gem. Finally, a place to get a cup of tea with great taste and delicious aroma. For those of you who love a good cup of tea, it's worth the trip. It's been a long time since I had a good cup of Chi. There is a large selection of all loose tea. It's worth the trip, and the atmosphere is relaxing 😌

The tea flight was lovely. There are so many teas to choose from in their detailed catalog. They had all the scent profiles categorized to help you choose the perfect tea. The place has a cozy atmosphere and friendly staff

I love this place so much! The atmosphere is impeccable and the tea is delicious. Love the baristas, super kind and incredibly helpful. I stopped by here during a hard mental health episode and it helped me feel calm and grounded. Cannot recommend enough.

I love this place! It's my favorite Loose Leaf Tea shop in PDX. Come on in by 5/1/24 for Spring Cleaning-Some items 20% to 50% off. Swing by and see what is on sale! Remember to bring your own container for extra savings. You can't beat the $10 Tea Flights year round offer. They always pick 1/5 for you; which is their "Tea of the Season program, which is more than just a premium tea; it's a bridge to making a difference. As part of our commitment to social responsibility and environmental stewardship, we are proud to announce that with every purchase of the seasonal tea, we will contribute 15% of the sale to a charitable organization", then you can pick 4/5 on your own. You deserve this peaceful and contentment downtown for yourself and or good company so make sure you allotted at least an hour (1) for it. Definitely avoid Tea Flights in a rush because you'd ruined the whole experience. The staff has been always patient with my questions and meandering vibes every I came in alone or with at least 1-3 friends for during this past year for various events: Tea Flights, Tea Leaves Reading Workshop, Taro and Palm Reading and others cool workshops. We picked up a few delightful selected herbal teas with 20% off of this afternoon: peach apricot and paradise bliss, and rosenberry oolong also for 20% off. They have a large lose leaf category and in a process of updating it. You'd certainly find one uniquely soothed your soul. My favorite of all time is actually perfect for coffee lovers who'd say they're not a tea drinker, you'd be blown away with this Pu-erh tea. I can't remember the name of it; ask the staff and they will you which one you're talking about. You might wonder if you're actually still reading this rave review right about now: "What is pu-erh tea? Pu-erh tea -- or pu'er tea -- is a unique type of fermented tea that's traditionally made in the Yunnan Province of China. It's made from the leaves of a tree known as the "wild old tree," which grows in the region. Although there are other types of fermented tea like kombucha, pu-erh tea is different because the leaves themselves are fermented rather than the brewed tea. Pu-erh is usually sold in compressed "cakes" of tea leaves but can be sold as loose tea also. Many people drink pu-erh tea because it not only provides the health benefits of tea but also those of fermented food. ... pu-erh tea is fermented, so it can also introduce healthy probiotics -- or beneficial gut bacteria -- into your body. These probiotics may help improve your blood sugar control, which plays a key role in weight management and hunger." (https://www.healthline.com/health/food-nutrition/pu-erh-tea-benefits). Do yourself a favor and come check out this cool locally small business own and to be at awe with the art of Loose Leaf Tea! They also have cute and large Teawear, gift packages and gift cards for your tea lover family and friends.

Nice and relaxing tea shop. The air conditioner was running that day. It was 65 degrees and overcast. We ordered two tea flights. It was fun to try out some interesting tea. I like my teas a lot stronger. It was still nice to enjoy my tea friends. There are games and books for purchase. Lots of tea holders.

I decided to bring my mom here because the first experience was so amazing. While it was still fun I was a bit dismayed at the differences between the two experiences which were supposed to be the exact same... that's why I had to take a star away. Instead of each choosing 5 teas we were told to select five together. That part is actually ok because although they were more busy it just makes sense in general that a tea tasting for two be the same five teas. Previously my friend and I each got an entire small cup of tea.. this experience was different. The first gal that helped us said we would actually get more tea this way because we get the little pot. The first tea we received was So Fetch and it was awesome... of course. We each got a small cup to taste... so far pretty consistent. The next flavor we got was Tropical Sky. This is another of my favorites... but this time the owner (I think) brought the tea pot but only poured us a half little cup (maybe 2 oz) each and then left with the pot. Um what? She's super friendly and personable... Mountain Mint - this time the first gal again gave us the pot. Yea!!! I hadn't tried this one before and it was amazing!!!! I love mint tea! Strawberry Kiwi - OMG I love this one too!!! Sweet and fruity... this would be amazing as an iced tea!!! Listen im an iced tea snob so it makes sense I like these hot. Sunshine Glow I'm not fond of inconsistencies. That's why places like the Four Seasons are so popular. Consistency. I was so excited tio being my mother to experience what I did previously. Im a huge tea person and previous teavana lover... it may have been because it's toward the end of the night but nonetheless.

I love doing the tea flights here! So many good options and just a lot of fun. Make sure to save enough time to experience it because not all of them come out at once and brewing takes time! You get to pick 4 teas to try and they pick one which is so fun. It took about 45 min to an hour but that's with taking your time to sip the hot tea. The horchata and the jasmine silver needle were a couple of my favorites. Renewal was pretty but I didn't love the flavor. I love getting to smell the different teas from the tea wall before buying.

Excellent ambiance Great service and wonderful tea .. I enjoy sitting here to read or meet up with friends

Hands down this is the best tea house I have ever visited. There is a wide variety of tea, gifts, and classes offered. AND they have kombucha!! The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. I highly recommend!!

This is such a cute place. The tea is amazing as well as the service. There are so many Different kinds of tea to choose from. You can have it hot or iced. I highly recommend checking this place out

I gave this place a shot a couple times and it didn't really fulfill my craving for good tea. The ambiance in there seems a little lifeless and the employees, with the exception of the younger guy working there (who was the only one enthusiastically smiling and seeming to enjoy being there) were all pretty indifferent and short with us. I've had the owner pull down a few teas for us to smell and she cracks open the jar and does this lazy wrist flick that implies she's trying to waft the tea for us to smell but doesn't have the energy to do it properly. Bad enough the jars are all glass allowing light to bleach the tea and herbs making it stale, but I'm also not smelling anything from the attempted wafting. I got a few teas on a whim, hoping they'd be good and they were as expected not as flavorful as a properly stored tea.

Why have I only discovered Cup of Tea just now? So grateful to randomly be driving around Clackamas and decided to swing by out of curiosity. Best. Decision. Ever. Although the place was packed, we found a seat and dove into their encyclopedia sized catalog of teas. They have everything. Everything! Because I couldn't decide I opted for a flight- 5 small servings of tea! Four choices were my own and the fifth was the "tea of the month." I appreciated how I had plenty of time to savor each serving before being handed the next round of tea. Oh and the smells! Each tea was so aromatic it was ridiculous. The gals were friendly and incredibly knowledgeable of all the teas. I scooped up a Unicorns Bargain- a discontinued blend that is fruity, creamy and sweet. You can't go wrong here, they literally have the perfect tea for anyone.

Came here based on a recommendation! This place is amazing and the people who work here are nice and helpful. Great vibe! You must do the tea sampler, which is a great way to try many of their teas. I am definitely going to be a regular here now. It is more than a Cup of Tea....it is an experience.

This is a lovely tea shop with thoughtful and knowledgeable staff. They have SO many choices! Treat yourself to a five-tea flight in order to experience as many options as possible. If you like your tea string, ask for extra brew time

This tea store... unbelievable! The number of tea choices is world class and the products they sell to brew, enjoy, learn and gift for tea lovers is just as impressive. The owner is so kind and very passionate about her products and so is her staff. I would recommend this tea store over and over again.

Deliciously large selection of loose teas knowledgeable staff. Great drinks and cute gifts. Try the purple rain it's amazing!

Enjoy your special tea here! Very impressive today can serve my tea and share it with everyone in the store!

Awesome Mom owned business. These guys are my go-to for custom gift boxes for friends, family, and business gifting. Suzi has created a must-see storefront to highlight all kinds of teas I didn't even know existed. Highly recommend even if tea isn't "your thing"

My friend and I came here and tried the Tea Flight. We were presented with a basket full of teas to smell. I think we smelled 50 different teas. It took us a while to choose 4 to taste. The fifth tea is chosen by the owner and the proceeds of that tea go to a charity they choose. The variety is amazing. The experience and atmosphere was relaxing and fun. The teas tasted a little weak to us so we asked for the rest of our teas to be brewed stronger and the owner obliged. She was very nice. The stronger teas were much more to our liking. We each ended up buying a bag of loose leaves to take home.

I had never been to a tea shop before I came across Cup of Tea by accident, while looking for another business. I made a plan and invited 4 friends to come here with me for a Sunday afternoon tea tasting and check it out. The minute you open the door the air is filled with the amazing smells of deliciousness. The decor is beautiful and comfortable. There are tables and also comfy chairs. The owner and the staff here or so friendly and accommodating. They were also very helpful! The walls are lines with local art and the bookshelves contain everything from books to exotic tea pots/cups. We picked a cozy spot and decided to do the tasting of 5 different teas while we visited. We also ordered the hummus and fruit plates which were fresh and delicious. My favorite tastings today were the Rose City (roses) and the Apple Crumble (apple/caramel/spice) So delicious and I also purchased some to take home. This is a wonderful place! So many different kinds of teas hot and cold. They also have kombucha. Check it out!!

Great atmosphere, friendly service, and an amazing selection of quality loose leaf tea. Relaxing place to meet friends and visit. Ask about a flight of tea and try several different ones.

Ok... So my daughter wanted to go to this tea place when my wife and I were visiting her from Southern Oregon. I had no idea this wasn't just a "tea place" but a "TEA PLACE!!!" It was a great experience and I learned a ton about tea from Susie. My plan was to drop by and try some tea but it was more of a tea education, a time to relax and, yes, we bought a great supply of different teas. Our home "tea time" is now about the type of tea we are going to have and what the correct temperature is for that particular tea. :) We'll certainly return.

I have never loved a tea shop more and I've been to plenty. The star of their show is their customer service, I was greeted by the loveliest, most bubbly and sweet employee when I entered. She was patient as I took in and explored all they had to offer. So many cute trinkets, cups, teapots and assortment of other carefully curated goodies. I tried one of the on tap kombucha today as well and it was absolutely fantastic. Cannot wait to come back and try some tea next time. This is must stop for all tea lovers. Thank you for such a wonderful experience, it truly made my day stopping in.

Loved this place! My Mom and I stopped in to try the tea and found a new tradition. They have a flight of tea (currently $10) where you get to pick 5 different teas to sample. They have little tins of all of their teas so you can smell them before deciding. So much fun looking through all of their teas and picking just the right ones.

This place is ah-mazing! They have a wide collection of tea and tea accessories, and the staffs are so warm and welcoming! My friend brought her puppy dog along and they told us we are able to bring her dog inside! (They even let us take a photo of her puppy dog on the counter). We ordered the pearl jasmine and the genmaicha matcha tea and they were delightful. They were on the lighter side so we steeped the tea a little longer for the extra flavor. We also ordered the coffee cakes and they paired well with the tea! Overall, wonderful atmosphere, friendly staffs, excellent tea. Highly recommended!

Such a charming and gracious host- delicious teas! I really love that they put a piano in the space. I hope the tea shop does well! I don't really like all the MLM sales going on in there. Seems like each visit, there's someone selling their junk jewelry, shakes, you name it. I'm surprised the tea shop would provide a platform for this predatory "business" model. If you need more evidence, consider watching Betting on Zero, or the podcast, "The Dream." I would much rather see this locally-owned shop supporting other small, locally-owned businesses, not some pyramid scheme. It's a blemish on what is otherwise a lovely, beautiful shop.

So cute I love the atmosphere. It's only 8 dollars for a pot of tea to share with 2. Very lovely place

Plain and simple this is a wonder place. They're selections of tea and kombucha are fantastic. You can try an amazing variety of teas for great prices. Just order a pot, relax, and enjoy. I did end up taking home a lovely Earl Grey. I know, not to exotic, but I love a good Earl Grey. The Tea is not the only reason to come. This s a great place to relax and chat. The people are welcoming and knowledgeable and the atmosphere is comfortable. I will definitely be coming back!!!

This attractive, friendly shop is more defined by its spirit than the quality of its teas. The herbals and rooibos blends are fun, and where Cup of Tea can outshine its Portland competitors. When it comes to straight-up tea leaves, the quality, in my opinion, is noticeably inferior to Tao of Tea and Smith. Put simply, the more you learn about tea, the less you will be impressed here. While I really like the broad selection and enthusiastic employees, I have to take issue with their herbals, too. My favorite so far is the delicious Unicorn's Bargain (complete with tiny sugar unicorns!), and the Chocolate Orange makes a good dessert tea. But I tried their seasonal Candy Cane Lane today and, after trying their Earl Grey, it's my second disappointment. The problem is that they can get too outlandish and throw everything and the kitchen sink into their blends, resulting inevitably in a sum that's less than its parts. Candy Cane Lane contains: apple, peppermint, coco, lemongrass, liquorice root, eucalyptus, blackberry leaves, yogurt granules, pineapple cubes, natural flavoring (?), marshmallows, whole star anise, red currants, and pink cornflower. WOW! That sounds amazing! It smelled great. But it's way too many different things and meaninglessly expensive for the flavor ($5/oz). I have in my cupboard some lemon myrtle from Tao of Tea that cost $2/oz. It tastes almost identical, plus mint. Two or three cheap herbs would be less than half the price, and yet there is very little difference between them. You only needed peppermint and sweetness to produce the flavor of a candy cane. What bothers me most really is the price tag here. Can I taste pineapple, apple, or yogurt? No, but you can bet they increase the weight of the tea, whereas a purely herbal tea would get you many more cups for the weight. I want to believe that that owners just get overexcited mixing things up, rather than that they focus on presentation over flavor. Having just shelled out for Christmas gifts of this pretty and aromatic but disappointing tea, all I can say is if you're getting more than a couple ounces of tea, try before you buy. You never know what you will get with Cup of Tea's crazy blends.

Very cosy and welcoming, such extensive tea varieties. Definitely will recommend to friends and family. Kravets Family

Amazing place! Beautiful atmosphere with high-quality finishes, makes you feel relaxed and comfortable. Love all the shelves with amazing teas. The customer service was top-notch and everyone was kind and so friendly. It's a must-visit for any tea lovers.

Love this little tea shop, I can not recommend enough if you are a tea drinker. Great for getting loose tea to go or purchasing a pot of tea to enjoy by yourself or with a friend. Tea selection is impressive. Staff are very knowledgeable and often point me to new great picks. My favorite tea is an herbal tea called Shavasana.

What a lovely surprise!! Tucked away it's easy to miss but once you step inside it's a show stopper. Beautiful environment, friendly helpful staff And delicious tea. At just 3.00 for a small pot What's not to love?

My friends and I had such a great time visiting this new tea shop the other day! SIX DOLLARS. SIX DOLLARS is all it cost for a pot of tea, a slice of delicious apple zucchini bread, and a priceless evening laughing with good company. There are some very minor details that they are still waiting on to arrive such as stir sticks for your tea, but all in all it was a wonderful experience and we will definitely be back! In talking with the owner we found out that she and most of her staff are former Teavana employees. I used to be such a huge fan of Teavana before it closed! That is probably a good part of why this place is so awesome. They even have the same kind of rock sugar you used to be able to get at Teavana too. It's so great to have a place like this in Happy Valley!

This place is lovely, comfortable, and run by beautiful people. It's such a great atmosphere, you forget your in a strip mall! The variety of tea, kombucha and gluten free & vegan pastries is impressive! The owner is helpful, friendly and running a great business. We tried the Aztec Chai and Orange Black Tea - both superb! Add on cranberry & white peach kombucha and I was in heaven. This is definitely my new favorite spot in Happy Valley - an area strangely devoid of wonderful spots like this.

Great and delicious. I like all the different tea flavors to choose from. Spoke with the owner and it sounds like soon they will let you add custom spices to your tea, like cinnamon and orange peel. If you want a relaxed place with chill atmosphere and a good cup of tea, then this is your place.

I didn't actually drink tea until I went here! Absolutely endless possibilities and the owner is amazing!

When we travel I always look for a tea store. I am really happy we found this one. The various teas were just begging me to try them. We may be moving to Oregon in the next year and 1/2 so discovering Cup of Tea will make the transition easier. Until we do, I am glad I can order online or just call to place an order. Mike, who helped me, was quite knowledgeable. So, if stuck, I can call and get my questions answered. If you like tea I would suggest you stop by. You won't be disappointed.

I love tea so it's nice to have a place nearby that is all about just that. I tried a white, black and green tea, plus a dessert bread. They were lovely. The employees are still learning how much of the loose leaf they should steep with some of their teas, but they'll get there. All 4 employees working while I was present, were fun and friendly. The owner is very warm, inviting and very knowledgeable. Just like others have already mentioned, you forget your in a strip mall because the inside is decorated so nicely. Every tea you can imagine is here. If you enjoy tea (or Kombucha), give it a try!

Cutest tea shop. Ambiance is everything. Super friendly staff. Perfect place for a friend date or a date date :)

These people know their tea! Woman owned and family run, I was fortunate to be helped by a teen son of the owner who was totally engaging and asked his mom for answers to more specific tea questions. Great vibe. Easy place to work and study. Great tea selection and deep tea knowledge if you want it or just a perfect hot or iced cup steeped perfectly. Surprisingly elegant environment (I want that magical TREE!) and cool to know everyone is welcome from the business exec with kids to the person in the corner with the stack of books to the wine broker doing business al fresco with a cup of tea in hand. Introduce yourself if we see each other there. Great place to connect and get things done.

Tea lover's HEAVEN!!! Love the vibe of the place - it's tastefully designed and feels very inviting. They have incredible variety of teas from all different regions of the world. Had the pleasure to visit while on a trip and got a special treat of custom made ceremonial matcha tea. Owner is also very nice and knowledgeable.

Love! Love! Love! This place, you just have to come in and see it so many great smells and flavors Super nice staff rock and roll!

The ambience is soft, gentle, and somehow nourishing to your soul the moment you walk into this place. A friend and I tried the Aztec Chai Rooibus Tea, Orange Spice Black Tea, White Peach Kombucha, and Cranberry Honey Kombucha. In addition, we enjoyed the moist GF Lemon Blueberry cake. If you are a fan of sipping delicious teas, kombuchas, and nibbling excellent food while seeking solitude and restoration...this is the place for you!

Cup of Tea hosted a paint night my best friend and I attended last weekend. I DONT like to cross the river, but I will make an exception for this place any chance I can get now. Susie welcomes us right in, and thanked us immediately for coming. I always appreciate small businesses, and how hard they work (as I work in one myself) and it's VERY clear she loves this place and her employees. My friend and I each had a pot of tea, which was delicious and warm to sip while we enjoyed our paint class. Overall, the shop is cozy and well decorated. It's very clean and the best kind of place to study, read, or catch up with an old friend. The menu makes it easy to pick something you'll really enjoy, and the staff is all very helpful. Come for the tea, stay for the feeling of being at home.

I went here the other day & I called ahead of time to make sure they would be open until 7 because of a previous review and they were! So there's really no issues with the hours I think that person just had bad luck with timing. We were really excited to go try this place and it pretty much met all our expectations and a little more. We got two small tea pots for $3 each. The jasmine pearl was very flavorful and the lavender rose white tea was just decent. After I steeped it for about a minute longer in the teapot it started to taste more like lavender rose instead of just white tea. On that note even though it didn't meet my expectations at first, I just steeped it longer and everything was fine then. You can refill your teapot with hot water for free and resteep your tea leaves which is really awesome & they still had the same incredible flavor as the first tea pot The only thing I wish they had more available is a stand with things you may need that you could use separate from things that cost money. Like spoons napkins & sugar. The sugar was a liquid sugar, but the bottle was full and we didn't know if it was honey or if it would cost extra to use because they had honey sticks that were 50 cents each (these were the only things labeled with a price, but the chocolates and other treats didn't so I had to ask if they cost extra and they do) all these items were mixed together on a table & we weren't sure what we could actually use.

So darling! Love it there! Everything is so tasty!! I ALSO LOVE that the owner is partnering with so many small business owners to widen her reach in the community! A win-win for EVERYONE!

What a wonderful oasis of goodness in the heart of the Clackamas area! Huge selection of specialty teas, well cared for and presented with delicious pastry treats. Lovely, restful setting makes Cup of Tea the perfect get away with friends for conversation or to escape to rest and care for one's self. The staff - wonderful! Give yourself a real treat and visit!

Lots of loose leaf tea in a beautiful space. There's also kombucha, food/pastries, beautiful tea ware, snacks, lip balm, and more. There's a variety of board and card games. The shop holds tea classes and raffle drawings for free loose leaf tea/gift card. I've seen book clubs meet here too. You can have a cup of tea brewed for you in store/to go, or purchase some loose leaf tea to take home. The tea shop also donates a percentage of sales from the Tea of the Month to charity.

This tea shop is truly one of a kind. It has a very relaxing atmosphere and beautiful decor. Most importantly, the tea is delicious and the staff is incredibly kind and helpful. Definitely the best local tea shop.

I have been to Cup of Tea several times for several reasons. Every time I'm in there they make me feel wanted as a person and as a customer. Susan does so much for the community and for youth. Definitely go and support this small business. She's keeping it going in this hard time and still provides the same great service. I LOVE CUP OF TEA!!

It's beautiful. The people are very kind and engaged in their love of tea. Very comfy. I forgot I was in the suburbs

This place is perfect! High quality tea, friendly helpful employees and owners, plenty of setting and awesome unique decor, amazing options, vegan and gluten free food items, and amazing prices. Perfect Portland rainy day spot, or any day really. Highly recommend!
