Appalachian Tea is the best. I booked a high tea experience for my mom’s birthday, and we all loved it. The food was delicious, and the tea is the best I have ever had. Teas we have bought to take home have always been great, too.

Everything is reasonable, so delicious and sometimes there are fun themes for things. Very nice selection of teas, and coffee drinks. If you are unsure what type of drink you would like, they can make recommendations and or give you descriptions of each one to help you decide.

Such a great place. I hate that I can't remember his name but our server was AWESOME he helped us decide what we wanted when we were overwhelmed with options (NOT complaining). Already planning another visit with some more friends.

Loved the Halloween tea! The snacks were *perfect* and we all enjoyed the suggested tea pairing. The service was friendly and genuine. My only suggestion would be for some kind of music (like jazz or other instrumentals) to absorb some of the background noise from people entering/exiting.
Business Response:
I'm so glad you enjoyed yourselves! I just checked with Russ (the tech guy) and apparently our music was glitching on and off over the weekend, I'm so sorry you were here when that was happening! (Jazz and instrumentals are definitely our usual go-to)

We really enjoyed the St. Patrick's Day high tea. The food was very good and good value for sure. Originally we were planning to dine outside, but the table wasn't large enough to accommodate three people. Our table inside was in a workspace area. This didn't really bother us. The people were extremely friendly and helpful. We would go back if in the area again.
