Tea is so hot right now. Venues offering the world’s second most consumed beverage (right behind water) are popping up all over the Northwest and, with chillier winter months, we couldn’t be happier. Providing tea connoisseurs with a place to come together with others, tea houses give a whole new feel to the “coffeehouse vibe” that we all know and love, with an herbal touch. Check out our feature story on the “New Brews” of tea in the PNW here.
