Alice Tea Spot
Alice Tea Spot is a boutique tea house and online tea shop. We source single-origin leaves, blend them in small batches, and serve them in a warm, quiet space on Washburn Street — or ship them straight to your door.
Black tea, cardamom, cinnamon, local honey.
$5.50Alice Tea Spot began as a small counter inside a neighborhood market on Washburn Street. Founder John Jacob wanted a place where the pace slows down, where leaves are measured by hand, and where every cup is poured with intention. Today we are a full tea house, a roastery for our house blends, and an online shop serving customers across the United States.
We work directly with growers in Japan, China, India, Taiwan and Kenya. Everything we serve is cupped, scored and blended in-house before it reaches your table. No shortcuts, no artificial flavoring, no rushed service.
Long-term relationships with family farms and co-ops.
Every house blend is measured, cupped and sealed by hand.
A calm room designed for reading, work and conversation.
We visit farms and co-ops, cup hundreds of lots, and select only what scores above our bar.
Small batches, measured by hand. Recipes are tested for weeks before they reach the menu.
Water temperature, leaf weight and steep time are dialed in for every tea we serve.
At the counter, at your table, or shipped to your door anywhere in the United States.
"The Gyokuro here is the best I have had outside of Kyoto. Calm room, kind staff, no rush."
"I order the Discover Tea Box every season. Packaging is beautiful and the tasting notes are genuinely helpful."
"My go-to spot for remote work. Fast Wi-Fi, quiet music, and the honey oat latte is unreal."
Open daily from 7:00 AM. Walk-ins welcome, reservations optional.
