However, I would highly recommend visiting, especially if you are looking for an intentional experience. The owners are knowledgeable and welcoming. I visited with one other person and I shared a pot of shou pu-erh, prepared gongfu style. Somehow, we were there for 3 hours, talking and drinking tea. I don't even know how so much time passed, neither of us realized we were there so long. There is no food menu, because the experience is designed to appreciate the tea and be in the moment. Tea options are high quality.

They also have a few mocktails on the menu for extra charge. Food was a bit bland and dry, but the presentation was nice. I enjoyed the scones though. Service was very attentive and friendly. You're definitely paying more for the experience than the quality of food/tea. It was overall very pleasant and I recommend Doja to anyone who loved playing tea party during their childhood or enjoys the aesthetics of modernized period dramas like Bridgerton.

I have experienced better teas here in one hour than I have in the last two years of researching tea. There are teas available here that are still rumored in the tea industry. Ivy's husband James has even put together a regional water recommendation list, which has revolutionized my personal brewing experience. After spending time at Qi Fine Teas, this is now the only place I can recommend for true tea in Portland.

*****Correction made on previous review a month ago about their pastries*****…read more It's still my preferred local shop for loose leaf teas, especially the chamomile flowers and my all time favorite, Japanese genmaicha. If you're an avid loose leaf tea drinker like myself, this is a solid small business to stock up on supplies for tea lovers and enthusiasts. They carry a great selection and consistently deliver on quality loose leaves. I would not recommend getting drinks here since they are on the super light side for flavor. The pastries are forgettable. I do enjoy their tea flight, and the price was reasonable for 2024 to 2025. I forgot to ask about 2026 pricing when I stopped by recently. They also offer cool classes and workshops, including tea education, tarot card gatherings, women's networking, and more. Check their website for updates and sign up for their monthly newsletter. You can also get a free rewards account using your phone number. Since they still have not provided toilet seat covers, hence the four stars.

It was our first time going to a kava bar, and we let the bartender know (idk his name, but really chill dude with long hair (dreads-adjacent?) and a cool hat), and he told us about a first timer special which is a strong bowl of kava intended to be drank quickly to build the unique "reverse tolerance" effect of kava. For the kava bowls, you can order the smaller or larger bowl. I ordered larger bowls, she ordered smaller ones. Both were a great amount imo. I'm 6'5" 260, a bit of a tank, so I ordered the following throughout our ~2.5 hours there: 1. First timer special 2. Large Borogu 3. Large Yaqona 4. Large Portland Pacific 5.

Conversation with my lovely date flowed freely, I felt more comfortable in my own skin, less self conscious, and mentally relaxed & stimulated I loved it here so much that I kinda wanted to go back that evening after my date by myself I told some of my Portland friends about this place and I will CERTAINLY be back

I experienced discrimination at this bar. I am a tourist from Europe and wanted to buy a drink…read more Since I don't have a U.S. driver's license, I presented my valid European passport, which clearly shows my photo and date of birth. Instead of accepting it, I was told that they only sell alcoholic drinks to people with an American passport. I found this response extremely offensive and disrespectful toward international visitors. A valid passport is an official government-issued form of identification, regardless of the country that issued it. I felt that I was treated differently because of my nationality, which made me feel unwelcome. I hope the management reviews its policies and ensures that foreign visitors are treated with the same respect as everyone else.

I ordered the banana hojicha and a jasmine cheesecake, and both were executed perfectly. Neither was overly sweet, and the flavors were beautifully balanced, with no single ingredient overpowering the others. While I was there, the sister brought out a sample of the butter teok, which was absolutely outstanding. The pastry was rich, flavorful, and memorable enough that I'll be ordering one on my next visit. The menu features a creative fusion of Korean, Japanese, and Chinese-inspired drinks and pastries, all thoughtfully crafted and beautifully presented. I enthusiastically recommend this charming café and look forward to returning.

The Yuzu Sparkler had strips of Yuzu peel in it and I enjoyed the flavor. My friended liked her Banana Hojicha - tasty. And the Basque chocolate cheesecake was Outstanding! It's homemade(!), creamy, chocolatey, light, and pure pleasure. My understanding is there are 3 flavors of the cake every day (unless they sell out!). The owner happily answered all our questions before we ordered, and the place is airy, bright and welcoming. I highly recommend TeaLab!!

We had to be careful not to steep it for too long or it became a little too bitter. The pastries were sourced from a local bakery in Chinatown. We ordered the almond cookies and egg tart. The tea house is situated in the middle of the Chinese garden. It is a beautiful and peaceful place to rest and enjoy some tea. There is also a nice selection of cookbooks and items to look at while tasting the tea. I bought the book, Chinese Menu by Grace Lin which explains the myths, legends and history behind classic Chinese dishes.
