TEAlicious!

by thewholeenchilada

The Path of Tea will have you on the right path of life!

You can do these cute tea tastings and learn all about the health benefits of these special organic teas! The owner Thea shares her vast knowledge of tea. You even get to select your own special tea tasting cup! It is one of the most unique experiences to try!

I have been addicTEAD ever since I set foot in the place over a year ago!

It is a great place to relax, read, have a date, meet up with an old friend, play a game or even get a psychic reading!

They even have these sweet little treats to enjoy.

The tea is purely MAGICAL!

Best priced teapots in town

by babydollsmiles

I was out looking for teapots for Christmas gifts and I stumbled onto The Path of Tea. I was so surprised to find the teapots so reasonably priced. I saw some of the same sets in the Galleria for twice the price! They had pots from Japan, China, Korea and Germany. I saved so much money I could buy one for myself as well. I also did not know they were the only totally organic tea shop in town. That is great. I will do all my shopping there this year.

  • Pros: Best prices in town
  • Cons: Isn't right in my neighborhood

Are we on the East Coast?

by ElleGn

I am from Boston and we have many places to go and hang out and have great tea. I stumbled into the Path of Tea after having lunch next door at Field of Greens. I felt like I was home in Boston! This place is wonderful. They have alot more organic teas than I have ever seen in one shop. As a matter of fact, they are all organic. Wow! The tea was brewed properly and tasted great. I have been drinking tea for 45 years and I never knew all the things they taught me about tea in ten minutes. The service was fantastic and the lemon bars were heavenly! I love this place and will tell everyone!

  • Pros: Great selection of organic only teas, great desserts, great service
  • Cons: None

Best Tea Shop Ever -- It is a real Communitea

by DAdele

if you have not been to The Path of Tea you have missed out on a very remarkable experience. I appreciate having a place where I can have 100% organic teas. I have teas from all over the world without ever leaving Houston. Thia McKann is very knowledgeable about all the health benefits of tea. I have turned my stressed life into a calmer one thanks to The Path. I have made some really great friends at The Path.....friends that will last a life time.

1st Time and I'm Hooked!

by TeaConnoisseur

I tried the Path of Tea for the first time last week. My friend had been ranting and raving about it for far too long, so I had to try it for myself! Well...what an experience! I tried the ORGANIC Ginger Citrus Rooibos while my friend sipped on the ORGANIC Monk's Sacred Blend . It was a fabulous experience and I learned so much about tea from the friendly staff that was there to help me...it is a wonderful place to take a friend , catch up and soak in the relaxing energy.

  • Pros: There are so many teas to choose from...over 140!
  • Cons: I couldn't stay there longer!

Best Tea in Town

by JenG22

I have been to going to the Path of Tea for about a year. I have tried over 40 different kinds of tea and each one is to die for. because All the teas being organic, the tea tastes so fresh and smooth. Thia and Chris (the owners) are extremely helpful and are some of the nicest people I know. They treat you like an old friend and are helpful so that you get the tea that is just right for you. You've got to try it!

  • Pros: You get to pick your cup
  • Cons: None

Knows more about tea than anyone

by ClintBastille

I saw the lady who owns this shop on Great Day Houston with Deborah Duncan. I had no idea tea was so good for you. The owner of The Path of Tea was a guest on the show and she talked about alot of different types of tea and what they did for your health. It was amazing. I got in the car and drove to the shop. She repeated some of the same information on the spot so I knew she really was for real. I had some tea in the shop, and it was delicious. I am on a fixed income and want to do everything I can do for my health. I bought 3 of the teas she talked about. I have been drinking them faithfully for almost 2 weeks and I feel alot better. I am so glad I found out about this place. I have sent several of my friends there as well. You have to check this place out...and ask the owner about the health benefits. You will be glad you did.

  • Pros: They know alot about tea
  • Cons: Didn't have any

The Path of Tea is fabulous!

by SusanRobertson

The Path of tea is fabulous - the teas are organic, fair trade, always fresh. Tea is served with ceremony and ritual...so much more than just a cup of tea. The environment is welcoming, friendly, and healing. The Path of Tea isn't just a tea shop with wonderful treats to eat; it's a place where you feel at home. I assure you that your experience will be wonderful and keep you coming back again and again.

  • Pros: Atmosphere, quality, quantity of teas, service
  • Cons: None
