THE TEA BAR IS AN EXPERIMENTAL SPACE FOCUSED ON ELEVATING OUR PERCEPTION OF TEA THROUGH  PRESENTING QUALITY CHINESE LOOSE LEAF TEA USING TRADITIONAL CHINESE BREWING METHODS.

ABOUT US - THE TEA BAR INSIDE ADDISON'S

Single Origin Chinese Teas

We pride ourselves on brewing exquisite Chinese tea. The Tea Bar has partnered with Tea Drunk to source our single origin teas directly from heritage tea makers across China. 

That means we know exactly where, when, and how our teas were created, guaranteeing our customer's the best quality Chinese tea.

Experience Gong Fu Cha

Gong fu cha simply means "tea made with intention or skill" in Chinese and is a phrase used to denote traditional Chinese methods of brewing tea.

 

At The Tea Bar, we bring out the best flavor in each one of our teas using gong fu cha methods. Reserve your spot at the bar to experience gong fu cha through our tea sessions.

More Than Tea

We love to share and talk about Chinese tea and brewing. There's so much to explore and discuss from the history of tea, to the development of porcelain for tea, to the best brewing methods for specific kinds of tea. 

 

We plan on hosting a myriad of classes to explore topics around tea and develop a community with a deep understanding and appreciation for this special drink.

Check out our classes and events pages for more information about what's currently going on.

MEET OUR FOUNDER

STEPHANIE WEIR

"Tea is about connection. My hope for The Tea Bar is that it becomes a place filled with those genuinely enthusiastic about tea. So much so, that we are able to build a community that encourages and challenges us to further refine our craft and enjoy each other's company."

ADDISON'S

Books and tea naturally go together, so it makes sense that The Tea Bar is located inside of the antiquarian and used bookstore called Addison's.

Drop by to drink tea surrounded by old books and that dark academia feel.
