"Also announced for phase two of the terminal renovation, this Portland tea- and beverage-focused operator is expected to open in summer or in early 2026 as part of the expanded dining roster." - Janey Wong
"A cup of Portland-made Smith tea is sure to induce some serious hygge, and while any Portlander can steep a cup at home, it’s well worth paying a visit to either of Smith Teamaker’s tasting rooms for its holiday food and beverage menu. Seasonal drinks include a Silent Night Latte — a snug wintery drink made with Oregon peppermint, cinnamon, ginger, and orange-clove syrup — and the Merry Maker’s Punch, a floral blend of hibiscus flowers, cinnamon, sarsaparilla, apple cider, and mulled spices. There’s also a flight of Smith’s holiday teas, like the Ho-Ho-Hoji Chai blend of hojicha and chai with chocolate." - Ben Coleman
"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
