There's usually one (maybe two) great tea houses in larger cities. The type of place that serves loose leaf teas in a pot, sometimes steaming the tea leaves prior to steeping, almost always favoring tea over coffee -- most often these joints don't even serve coffee. Let's make a list of the best of the best -- the one or two tea houses you should hit when in a given city.

so much variety
(with crunchiness and a hug)
the twighlight tea lounge in brattleboro, vt
(much) more upscale
(and quite lovely)
Gryphon Tea Room
savannah, georgia
{I’m not talking about the four seasons high tea [sandwiches aren’t deemed fabulous merely because they sound aweful (pickled radish and pumpkin goat cheese?]}

Thank you for posting this! A friend of mine recently turned me on to loose leaf teas rather than the silly bags I was using before. Now we go hunting for that next great tea house in the city as our girl’s night out! Great post.
