Video Reading The Leaves: Ann Arbor’s Tea Culture
There is a Japanese proverb that says, “If man has no tea in him, he is incapable of understanding truth and beauty.” If that’s the case, Ann Arborites now have access to the path to enlightment via the city’s burgeoning tea scene.
“There is no trouble so great or grave that cannot be much diminished by a nice cup of tea”
-Bernard-Paul Heroux
To the connoisseur tea as complex as any wine. Or as Ralph Waldo Emerson said, “There is a great deal of poetry and fine sentiment in a chest of tea.”
Sip with friends at Crazy Wisdom Tea Room. Hold a home tea sampling party courtesy Arbor Teas. Enjoy meticulously prepared Japanese brew at Cafe Japon. Or stock up on your favorite leaf at Kerrytown’s The Tea Haus.
