Something for all tastes deep in the heart of Texas
An eclectic and ever-growing city that seems to “march to the beat of its own drum,” Austin, Texas, the capital city of the Lone Star State, boasts a vibrant entertainment and cultural scene, beautiful parks and lakes, the University of Texas, and plenty of remarkable teatimes waiting to be experienced. While locals like to “Keep Austin Weird” and invite visitors to marvel at the uniqueness of the metropolis and its people, the tea experiences at the tearooms, shops, and venues in the area are anything but odd and provide wonderful ways to explore the beloved beverage in both traditional and modern methods. From lovely afternoon teas with all the frills and accoutrements to simplistic tasting rooms where Camellia sinensis truly is the star, there’s something for every tea lover among the tea treasures of Austin.
