Enthea Teahouse

Such a cool place! ♥️ When you enter, be prepared to take off your shoes and put on the slippers provided. They are clean and comfortable, so no worries there. There's loose leaf tea you can buy to drink at home, but you can also order a pot of tea and snacks to enjoy at the teahouse. The outdoor area is really nice and relaxing. The owner is very kind and took time to explain to me about different teas and brewing methods. The tea is high quality, worlds better than the highly processed tea bags I used to use.

I love finding unique tea houses and this was a really great find! Opening the front door you'll find a small foyer where you are to remove your shoes and put on the provided slippers. Open the next door into a small living room area with a fireplace and different cozy seating options. Go through the next door to discover another quaint and cozy room where you can order your tea and/or a few food items, vegetarian options available. On this occasion the owner was there and he described a little bit about his world travels seeking tea and suggested one for me after I described my usual choices. So good! You can learn quite a bit about tea here. Visit! You won't regret!

Steven and crew are wonderful staples in the small business community. A wonderful time is always had at Enthea and there's always a great selection of teas available. The patio in the summer time is very charming. Clean slippers are also provided upon every customer to ensure the space is respected and clean 👌 A great spot for a slower evening if you are seeking to embrace some calm from the chaos of the world.

We stumbled across this tea house in the rain, and was absolutely shocked by the fact that I didn’t know about this amazing haven earlier??? It was like stepping into familiar home from the get go, changing my shoes for slippers. A calming atmosphere decorated with plant life and teapots, the soothing music made for a perfect space to study and chill with my friends. We shared the charcoal roast oolong between three people as it was already quite late (it’s open until 9pm!!) but there was definitely enough for everyone. The owner personally showed us how to pour the tea and let it steep for the best results, and was extremely accommodating of my nosiness and photo taking. He encouraged us to use the space comfortably, to study and chat. We were able to enjoy our tea as well as the atmosphere and get stuff done, which was amazing. Top notch tea and a top notch atmosphere!

Beautiful home. Amazing tea. Good service, not overbearing but not too little either. Space was cozy and inviting, every customer was respectful. Roasted oolong tea was a fantastic recommendation. Perfect experience, and I will be coming back and hopefully joining this wonderful community!

Amazing experience here at Enthea Teahouse! From the moment you walk in you feel like you’re in someone’s home, which is amplified by the fact that you’re not allowed to wear outdoor shoes here…they give you slippers to wear. I absolutely love this concept and eagerly put on my slippers to step into the teahouse and see what was going on. The inside was just as cute as the outside and boasted an impressive selection of looseleaf teas that were sourced carefully from literally all over the world by the very nice owner. My partner and I ended up trying the tulsi tea and it came out right away and was absolutely delicious. So full of flavor and the adaptogens really helped me to feel calm on this cold rainy Portland afternoon. I also ended up trying some of the food, which was just as good. I got the three-piece veggie dumplings, which definitely tasted like they were made just then. I also got the lotus root bun, which was delicious and unexpected. Overall, I highly recommend Enthea tea house and will absolutely be back the next time I visit Portland!

Came for the Spookteasy Halloween Costume tea party, stayed for the new friends and amazing quality teas. I mean c'mon, four hours of all you can drink tea for $25! Unbeatable. Clearly, a lot of care was put into curating this magical, spooky experience. Met some folks who attend the weekly Friday Speakteasy, so now I know a regular alcohol free spot to hang with new friends. Definitely recommend.

I love this place. I came here as I drink my nightly Tulsi Rose to say that I have never had tea like this. I honestly can’t put my finger on the magic that is in these bags. I purchased the Jasmine and Tulsi/Rose, both of which are just…heavenly… when I open the bag I feel… inspired and transported. I haven’t ever had this experience with tea before. I have been to a few speak-teasies at Enthea… they are wonderful and will get you absolutely tea-drunk (on tea and conversation). The space is a portal into magic in many ways. I’m so happy is close to me. Grab a copy of Steve’s poetry book while you’re at it. Thank you 🙏

This place was different, and I enjoyed the traditional teahouse experience. There are no outside shoes allowed inside of the teahouse, and there are slippers provided for you to use. I thought this was such a unique touch. I enjoyed the tea blend that I got, but I forgot the name of it! It's a great place to go to chill on a chilly day, it is noticeably warm inside, just thought I would mention that!

A must visit, one of Brooklyns hidden haunts. If you are a tea lover DO visit and remember to take off your shoes at the door. Hospitable and comfortable, just remember to be respectful and mindful of the other patrons inside !!

Enthea is a gem in Portland that contributes to the vibrancy of the city. Steve, the owner has a very deep knowledge of tea and personally travels to China to meet the tea farmers. The teas from puers to greens to oolongs and beyond are a joy to sip. The environment is relaxing, warm and rejuvenating. I have purchased tea cups from enthea which I prize and which inspire me to drink more tea at my house. Highly recommend.

I was so happy to finally come to Enthea after finding them years ago at Tea Fest. It was a small bag of their Tulsi tea that's now run out that brought me back here (HIGHLY recommend). We sat down to share a pot of peach oolong & just enjoy the relaxing space. Really cool things to look at & a purposeful collection of tea, pots & cups, trays, etc from all over. The tea is great, and so was the person working who was really friendly and helpful..told us a lot of cool facts about teas. My husband's never been exposed to tea so he's not really a "tea guy" and this was his first time trying. He loved it! He really enjoyed having a few cups of tea with Griswold the friendly stuffed cat. We will be back very soon to enjoy more teas, small bites, and their great events they put together. I made sure to stock up on a couple teas so I can have my favorites at home too.

This is a peaceful place in Portland to relax and get some good tea I love atmosphere here

It was a great experience and high-quality tea definitely recommend for cozy and meaningful times

I've come to Enthea several times and expect to return with more friends. From the moment you walk in, you know you're in a special place. Once you change your shoes for clean, fluffy slippers, you've shifted into a kind of sacred space. The staff are eager to help you choose the right tea and are happy to explain the process of multiple steepings. You aren't here for an English cream tea, so if it's a new experience, why not give it a try?

Wonderful tea spot with incredible service! Owner has such a deep knowledge and passion for tea that you can't help being impressed and interested to learn more. Can't wait to come back here, thank you so much!

This is a tea house in an old house in the tradition of the teahouse in the Chinese Garden. There is no milk tea with tapioca balls. There are two rooms on the main floor and a very quiet upstairs room. On entering, there is a shelf for your street shoes. To the right is the front parlor, and behind that is the tea counter where you can study the options. It is a business in an old house, shoes off, so set your expectations, and enter the experience. After deciding, have a seat upstairs or down and they will bring your pot of tea. They have some unique and beautiful tea strainers made locally from imported bodhi leaves. I have always wondered at the veins of leaves, and here, the Tao chapter 11 on voids as useful, describes it. A pot can easily serve two and with multiple steepings you will not perish of thirst. The furniture is Chinese and American antiques. The shop is filled with teaware, much of it hand crafted, and for sale. They do have a few minor food snacks. There is a large selection of small batch teas that the owner collects traveling to farms in Asia. Hey - I want that travel job! He has been doing that for several years under the Rabbit's Moon Tea Arts name. To provide a space for talks and music without alcohol, the basement becomes the SpeakTeasy Underground some weekend nights. Those have their own Facebook schedule. You can buy ounces of tea for home from one of Portland's mostly thoughtfully curated selections of teas. This is an ideal sexy date spot with your yoga love or a meetup with non-allopathic health care practitioner friends. It's beautiful and organic!

My wife and I met some friends here and all of us agreed this was a special place. Not a place where you get a tea to go, but sit and sample many different teas over the course of the evening. The tea is well curated, complex, and interesting. Will definitely be back.

Just stopped by and they were closed at 2pm on a Friday. Was really looking forward to checking it out.

Just showed up at 1:30pm on a saturday and yall are closed! Are you still in business or just taking the day off? Either way it would be nice if you updated hours online or had a phone number available so we don't drive out of our way for nothing! Much love

I found Enthea Tea House a little over a year ago. Everyone here has been so kind and welcoming to me. This spot offers intimate gatherings for connection and growing community. The space has a very harmonious feel to it. It has quickly become one of my favorite places to visit in Portland.

This is my favorite tea house in Portland. Steve is the most knowledgeable person I've met to date in regards to teas and fine herbals he sells. The atmosphere is very peaceful and charming. Highly recommend!

The moment I walked in, I was uncomfortable. First of all everyone is invited to come in, shuck their shoes and use slippers that are provided for the public. Ewww! I was not about to put some used slippers on my feet that I don't who has worn them or what kind of diseases strangers have planted in such slippers. Secondly, the place was cramped, so we either had a choice of squatting down and trying to sit at something that is only about two feet high. I thought that setting was worse than an airplane seat, so we went to the next room. We sat at the end of the table near the window because the person in charge didn't want the bathroom blocked. That setting was also claustrophobic. I am NOT a tea expert, but it appears one needs to have some kind of degree in tea appreciation. Call me ignorant, but I just didn't understand it. We were served a $20 pot of tea with three dollars added. We weren't allowed to sweeten it (ohhhhh nooooo) because we were told it just wasn't done. It needed sweetening because it was bitter and unpleasant. Therefore, I sat there looking at a thermos with a spout that was crusted with some kind of guck. In other words, it hadn't been cleaned for a long time. It made me wonder what the health department would think. Finally, ugh, finally the service was horrible in a way that made one feel the customer was not really good enough to grace the establishment. The person in charge admonished someone for ringing the bell too long. She brought out an order that we told her we didn't want. Her attitude was hard to define, but I would place it on the spectrum of snobby and haughty.

Ready for an adventure? Excellent tea, warm and inviting atmosphere, and a MUST EXPERIENCE for people who live in Portland and visitors alike. I'm so impressed by the excellence in service, ethically sourced goods, and enchanting tea house. Highly recommended!

The service was incredible, the environment was comfortable and welcoming, and the tea was absolutely wonderful. We also had the veggie steam buns, which were the perfect addition to our Tulsi. If you come on a nice day, the garden is delightful!

I am so grateful to have found Enthea. While today was my first visit,I was left with such a stark appreciation for the space that I am still genuinely in awe. Every aspect feels carefully yet seemingly organically becoming. Each room felt so welcoming. Thank yoy and I look forward to returning.

Excellent tea and beautiful tea ware selections. A very intentional space with precise attention to detail. Expensive but worth it for the tea enthusiast.

What an experience. We just happened to stumble into Steve's lil house and it was so lovely. Amazing delicious tea. Yummy lil blueberry treat. Very relaxing. Would recommend to any tea lover!

Really lovely space with amazing and carefully selected teas. Highly recommended for those with tea heart.

A place of community and care, ease and wonder.... and some of the best quality Chinese tea and more away from the main noise of the city. This house is full of local artist tea wares, and lots of treasures old and new to catch your eye. A wonderful get away to have some quiet or friendly conversation over steeping pots of incredible tea in a beautiful home that will transport you. The owner sources all of the tea himself with great care, and it is felt upon arrival how much love went in to this space. Must visit!

I've been to all the tea houses in the greater Portland area as I love tea. I really enjoyed the ambience of this tea house and the quality of the tea was excellent, but I found it very overpriced compared to other tea houses: $15 for a tiny pot of tea for two. We didn't know in advance that if we only ordered one pot, then we would be charged $3 more for the second cup (I presume we also got a bit more tea leaves in our tiny pot, but I do not actually know). They did give us plenty of water to refill the pot, but of course the leaves degrade after a few steeps. I don't plan to return as there are several others in town that have the same quality of tea at a better price in a pleasant environment.
