Tea Republik

1. Iced blueberry fruit tea: flavorful and tasty, but a bit too sweet. For an iced drink, it felt heavy and not really refreshing for a hot day. Maybe more for fall weather. 2. Emperor's milk tea: requested something strong, and this came recommended. This wasn't just bland and mild, it was actually watered down as if it had been sitting out after all the ice had melted. Took a few sips and threw it out. Two small drinks, $16 with tip. No thanks.

My friend recommended this place after we finished a study session at the library! I love how it's open until 10, it makes it a solid place to study late or have cozy conversations with friends. The tea house has a really warm feel with the floral lamps and paper lanterns hanging down. We shared one of the house specials, the Thai tea with milk and vanilla ($8.50). It was hard to choose a drink since the menu was so extensive! It's a decent amount to share as we both had 2-3 cups each! I really loved the taste of the tea, I don't normally drink hot tea with milk but it's so nice and comforting. We ended up staying until they closed, and there was a good amount of people that also stayed until the end! A worker came and gave us a 10 minute warning but wasn't rushing us out at all. I think this is such a good spot for tea lovers or those that want a chill place to talk or read. But I would also say it's not a place meant for big groups, the tables are small and made for two people!

A friend at work told me about this place awhile ago sId they have the best chai. I like mine on the spicy side not sweet and the person was very helpful guiding me to make the right decision for my taste which was the Kama Sutra. They were very good at explaining when they brought to the table that the longer it steeps the spicer/stronger it would be. It was empty when I first walked in at 11am but filled quickly on yesterday. I got the smaller pot which was more than enough for one person. Space is cute with pretty lanterns as lighting. Very warm and welcoming space.

Out of all the "boba" places in U District, this one is my favorite because they actually appreciate tea and its brilliant flavors. There are a lot of options and many forms to enjoy tea.Plenty of seating, though not a lot of chargers. The interior is cute and it's a nice place to relax with friends.

I was around the Udistrict area and discovered this cute tea shop, with a nice cozy atmosphere. I walked right in and am greeted with a nice aroma of tea. I looked at the menu and noticed a large selection of teas and appetizing drinks. I decided to order the lavender earl grey tea while my partner got the Thai iced tea. I overall thought the drinks were very floral and unique in flavors. Who would have thought earl grey tasted so good with lavender added. They focus a lot on experimenting flavors of their various types of tea, which I really love. This tea shop is a great place to study or chill with your friends. Definitely will come back to try some unique drinks on their menu.

AMAZING selection of drinks and incredibly kind, friendly, and patient service. Nice atmosphere and tasty drinks. Will have to go back and work my way through the menu. The Thai tea was a hit so far!

Four stars for a great hang out spot in the U district that is usually pretty quiet and has reasonable pricing for the large servings of tea. Lots of varieties and great combinations that aren't too sweet. If I lived closer I would go often. I tend to rate compared to similar places I have been to snd while not my favorite tes house, its pretty great and unique to that area for sure. Service could be improved but the tea is always fresh and made to order.

The best tea variety I have ever had, and I have been places! Authentic, real tea, no fake flavorings or extracts. The options are endless and the tea is too good. Almost anything comes in hot/cold option. Must visit when you are in town. We have been going for years. Danny the owner is the most genuine person ever. We love the service.

If I could give 6 stars I would! I will absolutely be back and soon. I think I've found my new favorite spot in the U District area. I come here regularly for medical appointments and also with friends for lunch, and I have tried every tea place in the neighborhood without exaggeration. This is my favorite spot hands down. The selection is fantastic! I also love the customization. The staff are super helpful with making choices about customizing and recommendations. It's also a super cute spot to sit and read or work, and to gather and chat with friends. I highly recommend it! As another note for the service, there was a homeless individual who came in and sprawled across their couch, made a mess, and became very loud and disruptive. The staff handled it with compassion and professionalism. Unfortunately the individual became combative and needed to be removed by the U District Ambassadors, but I was impressed by how the staff handled the situation.

The owner and staff are amazingly knowledgeable and accommodating to special requests! I feel very comfortable trying new things here, as well as spending time in the space. We loved the floral lanterns so much, the owner gave us information on where to purchase for my home
