With a name that's sure to please tea aficionados, The Steeping Room offers all-day tea and meals, just a few miles away from Folio. It has an extensive tea list, with options in black, white, green, and oolong. Rare teas from all over the world are also stocked here, from China, India, Nepal, and Tanzania. Some teas are labeled with the year they were made as if to note the "vintage," like the 1989 Pu-erh Yunnan Reserve, a tea you can’t find anywhere else locally. Seasonal favorites like pumpkin chai appear throughout the year as well.
Unlike other places in the area, you can order tea cakes anytime during the weekend. The Steeping Room offers breakfast, lunch and dinner, and much of the food is vegetarian; there are many gluten-free and vegan options too. If you need your tea fix at home, there's a small retail store where you can purchase tea by the gram.
