Smith Teamaker

My friends and I came here to kill some time in the middle of a hot day a couple weeks ago, and it was a really fun Portland experience. We got 2 tea flights to share between people (each flight has 3 teas) and total was $28.23. Pros:- Pretty tasty tea! And a very wide selection of different kinds ranging in bitterness and darkness. I like the flights because they give you a little card telling you where the tea is from, fun facts, etc. We did a white tea, jasmine pearls, 2 oolongs, black lavender, and "Shu cha pu-erh," a fermented Chinese black tea. In general, we loved all our choices and each had our favorites. They gave us little shot glasses to share the tea in.- Really nice service, the guy helping us out was very patient with us while we chose our tea flight, and gave us good advice/tips. We did have one funny moment though where he said the fermented Chinese black tea is "very different" from regular teas, and that it might be darker/more bitter than we're used to. When it came out, it actually tasted just like the Chinese tea served at some dim sum places hahah right up our alley. But thank you kind white guy!- Really nice AC inside, clean bathroom, cute seating. Not a ton of space, but good enough to fit 3 small parties. It's definitely a nice place to kill time and just sit for a long chat. They also have other drinks there too if you want to buy a personal one for yourself.- The tea was warm but not too scalding hot, which I liked.Cons:- could be "pricier" if you're used to just drinking your tea at home, but we liked the experience and didn't regret it. Would recommend for people from out of town.

Love this place! You can a choose your own tea flight for $12. If you like one of the teas you selected and want to buy it it is 10% off!Indoor and outdoor seating. Inside has nice AC and is very cute! Bar stool and table seating.Service is very friendly and helpful!Paid street parking nearby.

I like Stumptown Ethiopian cup after cup of coffee in the morning, just a cup or two of Smith Tea in the afternoon and Breakside IPA (not counting) in the evening. Like what I like - my fav better buzzzzzin beverage daily fixes for my persnickety taste buds.As for tea there's no better place than Smith on 23rd for tea choices, friendlily service in a convivial and contemporary setting. Pull up a seat inside or outside on the sidewalk. Sip and relax! Take tea to go. At home I go with Earl Grey, Lord Bergamot black tea with refreshing blackberries, juicy mango and orange peel.Smith sources tea farmers caring for soil and plants with sustainable "quasi-organic" practices. I like quality - like that alot!Why - it's Smith tea for me!

The shop smelt so good when I first walked in. The workers were very helpful and they have all the teas set out in little jars for us to smell. Will definitely come back if I'm ever in the area to try more tea!

We accidentally found this tea shop. It sells Smith Teas in bags and boxes. They sell macaroons also. Of course, all types of Teas and Chais can be ordered. All the teas are numbered by flavors or types of teas. The shop is cozy. Not for large groups. There is seating outside available also.

An upscale tea house here in Portland, OR. Enter inside and the aroma of fresh brewed tea will tickle your senses. There you may have your selected tea brewed and made to perfection. The warmth of the tea will keep the cold December weather chills away from you. The place is welcoming and they have a wonderful selection of quality teas.

I wanted more.The tea I ordered was an iced Jasmine tea. It honestly had no flavor and tasted like water. I was really hoping for a jasmine flavor.They offer other teas on the menu. Maybe if I tried something else, the tea would have tasted better.The staff were not that helpful when I asked about the tea I just received. Noted.You can buy teas to take home as well.I was not impressed.

I loved this place. I wish there was one where I live. The tea was light, distinct flavor and refreshing. I ordered the marigold tea latte and it made he want to purchase another one the spot. I even purchased the tea to make some at home. I am a huge fan.

If you're not one of the millions of people that run on coffee and prefer tea, this tea shop has an amazing selection of drinks and tea products.The shop is cozy with tables for relaxing with a cup of tea or doing some work. It was quiet when I visited on Thursday afternoon, almost too quiet. There was soft music playing in the background, but I would've preferred it to be a little louder as I felt our conversations could be heard by everyone around us.The girl working there was friendly and offered some helpful suggestions. But I already had my sights set on their S'mores & Tea Flight ($15). It featured three s'mores made with different kinds of tea-infused marshmallow fluff and paired with hot teas. It was very unique and the presentation was cute. You can tell their teas are high quality from the aroma and taste. I really enjoyed the Jasmine Silver Tip and bought tea bags ($12.99) to take home as well as some Golden Light ($13.99). Since I had the flight, I was given 10% off which was nice.Tea can be boring, but they make it exciting by offering things like flights and teas on tap. They also have seasonal flavors that rotate. As an avid tea drinker, I wish there were more tea shops like this around.

This is still our favorite tea spot and place to share with friends. We went in for tea and a friend got a marionberry pop tart. I asked to steal a bite and it's unlike any pop tart strudel type thing we'd ever had. It's so flaky with marionberry jam on the center and the frosting was the perfect amount of sweet. It was at peak sweet before becoming too sweet. I got a black London fog and they got darjeeling and lord bergamot teas. I was hoping to get more of the lord bergamot hand lotion but they're out until they have a manufacturing agreement down (I don't remember exactly how it was worded). But they did have a peppermint one so I picked that up. This is really good tea, it's worth picking up a bag whenever we're in the area.
