Steve is the best, I get all my teas from him. The tea house is also such a vibe, with so many fun events and just a great experience over all!
I love this place. I came here as I drink my nightly Tulsi Rose to say that I have never had tea like this. I honestly can’t put my finger on the magic that is in these bags. I purchased the Jasmine and Tulsi/Rose, both of which are just…heavenly… when I open the bag I feel… inspired and transported. I haven’t ever had this experience with tea before. I have been to a few speak-teasies at Enthea… they are wonderful and will get you absolutely tea-drunk (on tea and conversation). The space is a portal into magic in many ways. I’m so happy is close to me. Grab a copy of Steve’s poetry book while you’re at it. Thank you 🙏
one of my favorite tea houses in the world! great selections direct from suppliers in very cosy and peaceful quarters. they also do great programming of events and live music! such a treasure for the west coast tea community
Disappointing experience. My daughter booked a tea tasting for me and her but when we arrived the staff didn’t seem to know we had a reservation. They said they would see what they could do since they were the only staff person there and they would have to call the owner. We were supposed to be able to order teas that were not on the menu, but were never given any of those options. We waited 30 minutes past our reservation time before we were finally led upstairs to our private tasting room. We thought we were going to be able to hang out together and talk however, the experience involves someone pouring your tea for you and sitting with you the entire time. The gentleman pouring our tea was not the owner, and I don’t think had ever led a private tea tasting before. He did his best, but it was very awkward. He admitted that he was not familiar with the teas that we were drinking and couldn’t tell us anything about them. The teas in my opinion were not good. The atmosphere was uncomfortable and unwelcoming. The overall experience was not enjoyable. Overall a very disappointing experience. I would have preferred if they had told us they couldn’t honor our reservation and if we were able to come back at another time when they were adequately staffed.
The most focused/honed space to enjoy tea in town
Such a cool place! ♥️ When you enter, be prepared to take off your shoes and put on the slippers provided. They are clean and comfortable, so no worries there. There's loose leaf tea you can buy to drink at home, but you can also order a pot of tea and snacks to enjoy at the teahouse. The outdoor area is really nice and relaxing. The owner is very kind and took time to explain to me about different teas and brewing methods. The tea is high quality, worlds better than the highly processed tea bags I used to use.
Exquisite, traditional tea house experience where patrons value presence and connection over quick convenience.
I thought I was well-versed in tea until I came here. 10 minutes of conversation with Steve taught me more than I'd learned in 20+ years previously.
Oh, and the tea offerings are sublime. 😍
Relaxing tea shop with a good selection. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable.
Amazing experience here at Enthea Teahouse! From the moment you walk in you feel like you’re in someone’s home, which is amplified by the fact that you’re not allowed to wear outdoor shoes here…they give you slippers to wear. I absolutely love this concept and eagerly put on my slippers to step into the teahouse and see what was going on. The inside was just as cute as the outside and boasted an impressive selection of looseleaf teas that were sourced carefully from literally all over the world by the very nice owner. My partner and I ended up trying the tulsi tea and it came out right away and was absolutely delicious. So full of flavor and the adaptogens really helped me to feel calm on this cold rainy Portland afternoon. I also ended up trying some of the food, which was just as good. I got the three-piece veggie dumplings, which definitely tasted like they were made just then. I also got the lotus root bun, which was delicious and unexpected. Overall, I highly recommend Enthea tea house and will absolutely be back the next time I visit Portland!

I love finding unique tea houses and this was a really great find! Opening the front door you'll find a small foyer where you are to remove your shoes and put on the provided slippers. Open the next door into a small living room area with a fireplace and different cozy seating options. Go through the next door to discover another quaint and cozy room where you can order your tea and/or a few food items, vegetarian options available. On this occasion the owner was there and he described a little bit about his world travels seeking tea and suggested one for me after I described my usual choices. So good! You can learn quite a bit about tea here. Visit! You won't regret!
Had a wonderful time sitting directly by the fireplace, enjoying great tea and the excellent mushroom steam buns
Had a relaxing & reflective evening in this old house. Businesses like these are what makes Portland so lovely <3
Lovely tea house with traditional Chinese style, with the lovely little steeper, tea pet and adorable tiny cups. The owner is absolutely wonderful and ensures a very pleasant vibe. Lots of different community events happen here as well!
Absolutely delightful place.
