my raTEAng 1-36

I didn’t forget! I know yall were waiting!! (wink wink) I was gonna just do one at the end of this Leg of the Tour, but I got you. ‘Every 6 Spots’ right?! And for those confused by the number of official Spots and the raTEAng overall- I still add the Afternoon Tea services that weren’t necessarily planned or scheduled on the Tour. Here you go!

From Don’t waste your money to Don’t have FOMO

36. iChina Restaurant, Santa Clara – Unsanitary tea spouts…need I say more?

35. Tal-Y-Tara Tea & Polo Shoppe, San Francisco – Outright rude and has no business being a tea house.

34. Tudor Rose English Tea Room, Santa Rosa – Eleven levels of tea service and you don’t even want one.

33. Secret Garden Tea House, San Francisco – Filthy place with yummy scones.

32. The Tearoom, Oakland – They don’t know how to make tea, don’t go.

31. Tea Time, Palo Alto – Awkward dirty cafe that left us thirsty.

30. The Golden Tea Garden, Hayward – Bad-mannered + arrogant owner with dollar store decor + tea.

23. Quail & Thistle Tea Room, Capitola – Adorable building with overwhelming all-in-one plate.

22. The Rotunda at Nieman Marcus, San Francisco – Matter-of-fact service and expensive teeny tasteless food.

21. Eddison & Melrose Tea Room, Monterey – Okay tea, but recognition of who we were made my year.

20. Satori Tea Company, San Jose – Interesting + eclectic, rum butter crumpets, and purple tea.

19. Filoli Gardens, Woodside – Stunning garden views with overpriced subpar cuisine.

10. Crown & Crumpet Tea Stop Cafe, San Francsico – Unforgettable crumpets and scrumptious tea sandwiches.

6. The White Hart Tea Room, Pacific Grove – Really like going to someone’s house for tea (cuz you are), and having true homemade food (cuz you are).
