Where to Buy Tea - Tearooms

Places to "Take Tea" [USA]

Cat Tea Corner. The definitive site for locating tearooms and tea shops near you or your travel destination.

Exceptional Tea Rooms In America. Diana Rosen's list, offering mostly British style tea service. Includes recommendations in California, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Louisiana, Massachusetts, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, and Washington, D.C..

Chado. A history of tea, photos of the shop, and menus. Must do if you're in LA.

Taliesin Residence Tea Circle Tour. Spring Green, WI. The tour allows visitors to participate in a tradition that Frank Lloyd Wright, renown American architect and founder of the Prairie School, began at his home, Taliesin. Each day at 4:30 p.m. work stopped and apprentices gathered with the Wrights in the Tea Circle for discussions of all kinds over tea. Taking place at the same time of day as Wright's tea time, the Tea Circle Tour includes a look at the interior and exterior of the house and refreshments in the tea circle. Spring Green, WI, is 45 minutes west of Madison.

Brown Palace Hotel. Denver, CO. This is my neighborhood tearoom and despite all the afternoon teas I have had, in all the wonderful places in this country, it remains my favorite. The "feel" of the room is unbeatable; it is intimate (maybe 20 tables), spacious (a twelve story stained glass domed atrium), and the real "Western Victorian thang." Hotel was built in 1893 by one of Denver's prominent architects and it has been faithfully preserved ever since. This link provides a photo with menu, hours, pricing. And here's what the Denver Post has to say about the Brown.
