There are a bunch of good choices for the tea lovers amongst us. A couple of my favorites:
1) The Chinese Gardens. They pour tea in there and will take you through a traditional tea pouring with some wonderful options in a serene environment.

2) Steven Smith Teas: Same guy who started who first started Stash, then Tazo has opened up Steven Smith Tea. It’s higher end, excellent teas and for $10 you can do a tea tasting of 4 teas where Simone tellers you about the teas similar to a wine tasting,



I’ve never been to the Ptttock Zmansion Tea Room but I’ve hear it’s a great place to go for high tea.

Where am I missing?

Not Portland but the best tea time is at the Empress Hotel in Victoria BC.
 
I made mushroom sun tea in college. Would chill it and add a fifth of Southern Comfort.

I generally think that Vietnamese food is excellent - and a good pho place is one of the joys of comfort food, but I find Bubble Tea to be meh at best.

Well if we are going that direction I say just about any Thai Iced Tea! I can’t take a sip, it’s so addictive if it touches my tongue I have to drink the whole glass in one shot.

Pok Pok has a version with lime juice, so fucking good.

What the hell is high tea? Is that where you make a tea out of the stems and seeds that you don't need?

I love tea but Boyds coffee is the best.
 
I had a friend in HS whose grandmother lived in Flagstaff, AZ and he'd hitch down there and bring back bags of peyote buttons, which we made tea from.
 
When I lost a tooth as a kid it wouldn’t stop bleeding, the dentist said to put a moist tea bag as it would stop the bleeding. Worked perfectly!
 
I’m made magic mushroom tea but I haven’t done so in over 20 years. Tasted gross but sent me to the moon

Mix with sun tea, sugar, and Southern Comfort.

Or extra pulp OJ.

more often i made chocolate milkshakes with the shrooms inside. A little bit goes a long way. When I was 19 I actually sold baby japanese red cubensis - stems were deep purple and a tiny mushroom the size of a nickel would be equivalent to an eighth of normal magic shrooms.

High tea in Britain was tea served at a high (dining) table, a more substantial meal with meat, cheese, etc. Regular tea was served at low tables (what we call coffee tables) and included sandwiches, bread and butter, cakes.

Sometimes people says "high tea" because it sounds fancier when they are actually serving "low tea".

As a tea aficionado I will keep all this information in mind when next I come to Portland. I go NUTS when I order tea in a restaurant and they give me a cup of lukewarm water and a tea bag!
 
Tea is the best thing to happen to my breakfast and night time palette. It is just a lifesaver since I hate drinking fucking water and coffee just upsets my stomach (years of meds sadly.) My mom has and grandmother both drank large amounts of tea and I guess I follow suit. I will check out some of those places recommended because I am about out of Yogi tea flavors!

Thanks for the info, I never knew that.

I believe the Pittock Mansion is High Tea but you need to make reservations. People usually dress up for it too.

I would highly recommend both the Chinese Gardens and Steven Smith teas. You have to pay to go to the gardens however, but it’s not too much.

I’ve done tea tastings at Steven Smith a few rimes now. I go to the one in the NW. it’s right next to Olympic Provisions where I go for a lunch. Food is delicious if you like cured meats and stuff along those lines.
 
Smith Tea is the bomb. They are sponsors of IPNC and often do seminars there. It’s a good hookup.
 
What do you all flavor your tea with? I tend to use honey or splenda. Also tend to like biscuits with my tea.
 
I drink tea with everything, never having acquired a taste for coffee. Meals and between. Due to insomnia, had to switch to chamomile with dinner, 5 PM being my caffeine cutoff. Sometimes splenda, when I go out it depends, some places serve "raw" sugar, which is not really raw, or honey. Chinese/Japanese tea is taken plain. Thai iced tea does not taste like tea to me at all, more like tea flavored milk shake. Don't like milk in my tea. In fact I consider milk in tea a British perversion.

On really cold days, a small dash of rum in tea.

To the moon you say? I'd rather get sent to either to the old Mustang Ranch, the Love Ranch or the Cottontail Ranch.
 
Most of the tea I drink is not bastardized with anything, however I love both honey and milk in earl gray and other bergamot teas
