I love this little place - it's so neat to get tea here, all sorts of types and you can blend your own special blend.

I love this tiny classy tea house! The service is wonderfully friendly, and the teats are steaming hot and tasty. They have an array of different sorts of foods from finger sandwiches to scones!

As a die-hard coffee fan, I wasn't sure how much I was going to use the new tea pot I bought at the Claremont Bamboo Tea House--I'm now converted! The shop has an alluring variety of tea pots and teas to choose from. The pot I bought makes a fabulous cup of tea and pours beautifully. The owner asked me what my tea preferences were, gave me a generous sample of some African tea to try--encouraging me to stretch my knowledge of teas. And the tea she sells is very fresh--only the best.

The Pasadena location (two blocks west of Lake on Colorado Blvd across the Vroman's Bookstore) sells some of the best loose-leaf teas in town (try their Herbal Chai (caffeine free)) and has the BEST service. This lady is very knowledgeable about her teas and tea sets. Everyday she brews up a different tea, and lets you sample it. I've never seen the kind of variety of tea sets anywhere else. From the typical British tea set, to celadon Japanese tea sets this place has it all. I've purchased two sets from this place, and they're both cherished items. If you break a cup or wish to order one or two more, they'll put them on order call you when they come in. Learn the Chinese, Japanese, British, and Yerba Mate tea history/ceremony from their website or right at the store. A serious tea house for serious tea drinkers.
