Wild Tea Leaf is an organic tea house serving up the most authentic teas sourced from China, Japan, and Taiwan.
Along with tonic herbs and herbal blends from around the world.
They also offer ceremonial grade Matcha lattes and medicinal lattes.
I opted for the Tumeric Ginger Latte with almond milk. Tumeric is known for its anti-inflammatory benefits, and my body was in need of help to reduce my inflammation. This drink was warm, cozy and perfectly sweetened. I loved it!
I also sampled one of the red teas. Which was served by Michael who is one of the owners. I've never experienced tea served the traditional way as they do in Japan. This was quite a lovely experience to watch.
In addition to elixirs, herbs and teas, they also serve healthy eats here. Mostly vegan and gluten free meals, but they will be adding seafood eventually.
The portions aren't hefty, but they are just enough to nourish your body and leave you feeling satiated.
Me & my friend ordered a variety of things on the menu to try out. Everything was flavorful and delicious! I really enjoyed the Wild Farmers Bowl. Made with Farmers Market seasonal roasted vegetables, wild & sticky rice, with a sesame ginger dressing.
The Japanese pumpkin soup is a must try! This was rich in flavor, creamy and topped with shaved wild foraged perigord truffles. Chefs kiss good!
The Japanese purple pie is made with UBE and topped with I believe a coconut cream. With cacao sauce dolloped on the side. Simple yet tasty!
The ambience here is minimalistic, and clean yet inviting. I especially loved the tea bar set up! The cute little tea cups, kettles and tea trays were so beautifully displayed.
This place was much needed, and I'm happy to support this indigenous owned tea house.
Congratulations Michael & Savannah on your new business! I wish you much success and thank you for being great hosts on my visit. read more
