Fave spot in Bloomfield! I live close-by and am so grateful to have a great study/community space. The service is wonderful, I asked for an iced drink to be made hot and they were so kind about it!

First time stopping in even though I’ve driven by it thousands of times. Very cute inside with mosaic and stone. I ordered some variation of a green iced tea and it was delicious and was made very fast. It was a beautiful day and the windows and door were open and the sun was shining in. Cute place

Cozy tea/coffee bar in Bloomfield/Garfield area. The tea house is on street level but once inside it feels like you are in your favorite cozy basement. Sunday was a perfect tea day. They have baked snacks, delicious beverages and nooks to hide in to read or reflect on any given day. Just peaceful, warm and welcoming. Cute quiet, stress free hangout.

I’ve never had a bad experience at Bantha Tea bar. Everyone who works there and visits is so kind and friendly. They even support local artists by hosting their art in a revolving gallery! This month, I am that artist! It has been amazing to work with Jack and the rest of the team to have my first ever solo show. Everyone has been super supportive!

Okay, so if you did not know Pu'er tea could be considered 'one of the many' champagne's of tea ... and Bantha's Ancient Pheonix Puer Tea gets it right! The team there is knowledgable and will answer your questions about it (caffine, reuse, etc) ... Its delicious, robust, flavorful, bold and so much more, a must try! This is "my perspective" shared FYC (For Your Consideration): I needed two cup holders and waited 15 minutes after pour before drinking ... ITS HOT and the tea leaves are HUGE ... they hold heat, I'd wait before consuming (this includes sipping but hey it's your mouth and tongue) ... ENJOY!! After consuming, remove from tea bag. I used a scrap piece of raw cowhide (a.k.a leather) as there will be residual moisture. I rotated between open air and a mason jar until dry and stored in same mason jar for re-use (I plan to re-use half with less water FYI). Enjoy and Drink Responsibly ... ITS HOT!!!
