I had my first tea outing in the Northwest over the weekend, to The Tea Zone. And while I've been here before, this time felt different because I knew I'd be back! The Tea Zone is a casual and hip place to grab a really good cup of tea, lunch, or a tea-cocktail.
I was lucky to be able to try a 1st flush Darjeeling. 1st flush refers to the first picking season of the year. I was surprised at how green it tasted, in a pleasant way. I was also thrilled to learn that the owners have a personal relationship with the tea producer for the one I chose.
Tea Zone looks like a great place. They have a nice tea menu (I'd like to try the bubble tea or Cream Assam). Their food menu looks really good too. Thanks for the link.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing more tea stuff around your new home.
That sounds like a great place to go, Steph. mmmmmmm, first flush Darjeeling, my favorite!
ReplyDeleteI simply LOVE The Tea Zone! I'm two hours south of it and it's one of the closest tea salons to me. How sad is that? My friends actually come to my house to have the tea salon experience locally.
ReplyDeleteAre you moving to the PNW? If so, yay! I love it here!
Breathe deeply,
Laugh with abandon,
Love wholly,
Eat well.

Oh, yay! I am going to LOVE your visits and tea travels in your new city. The Darjeeling tea sounds great!
ReplyDeleteAnd they have the best Curry Chicken Empanadas! I love them. I was there recently just to have a pot of tea and empanadas. Welcome, welcome! I can't wait to have tea later this month.
ReplyDeleteI like such topics and everything connected to this matter.
ReplyDeleteI definitely want to read more on that blog soon.
Sincerely yours
Woo-hoo!!! I was rooting for you to become an Oregonian! Welcome to Oregon (the best state in the union, IMO)!
