About this business

In keeping with our commitment to Fair Trade and charitable organizations, Te House of Tea aims to reduce wasteful consumption within our community. We output very little waste as a restaurant: about as much as the average household in a week. You'll notice this fact simply by the fact we don't have a dumpster at our building. We accomplish this by smart composting, aggressive recycling, and reduction of packaging: we compost all our tea leaves, and other vegetable matter, about 2-3 pounds a day. We keep a compost pile at ho... read more

A beautiful Time Machine – So, I turned into the parking space and gazed suspiciously at the black awning. I'd only recently heard about the cool spot to have an amazing spot of tea. I walked in and almost immediately, I was transported back to Cupertino, CA-to the little cafe where I'd spend most of my time away from school. Just like my old college hang-out, Té's ambiance is one of old country comfort. As I approached the counter, the waitress greeting me with a smile while taking chocolate cookies of a baking pan and into... read more

good snacking stop – Free WIFI!! Nice ambien catered to students. Not enough electric outlet though. The food selection is largely health-veggie-organic concious. The portions are slim so beware. Nothing spectacular about the sweets, but the tea selection is the best in town! Order do tend to take a while to arrive and it is not easy to find parking in the neighborhood. The quinoa salad and the curry chicken salads are very good. Suggest for management to bring rice and noodle bowls to lunch hour too, because healthy eating ... read more

Worst Customer Service I've ever experienced - EVER! – I've seen this place so many times and I finally decided to stop in. Almost all the tables were taken by computer users, but that didn't bother me because I was in a hurry. I ordered a Chai Tea , to-go, and paid $5.41 for it (ouch). I drove down the block when I tasted the tea and decided it wasn't the tea for me. It had an overly strong ginger flavor that I didn't care for. I went back to the House of Tea and I told the young girl behind the counter that I would like a ... read more

Excellent teahouse in the Montrose area. – Stopped in here on a Tuesday evening at the recommendation of a friend. Definitely a gem of a find in the Montrose area where I was able to enjoy a delicious African black tea brew that had delightfully unique mango and coconut taste. I will definitely try to make it here back soon to get my tea on!

Tea and tango – When I discovered that this unsuspecting tucked-away tea house hosted Friday night milongas, I had to come immediately. The dancing reportedly started at 9pm but when we arrived the place was deserted. Since it was an unusually cold night for Houston I thought that perhaps the weather had scared away the dancing. I asked the young girl behind the counter if indeed, there would be tango dancing and she confirmed that dancers would arrive soon. While she was nice enough, she gave off the air that she wanted to ... read more

You call this a tea house? – I liked my lunch...but the tea was awful! It was not brewed correctly and did not taste fresh. The whole place needs a good cleaning. I will go there for food but never again for tea. My silk oolong brewed too long. Get those leaves out of the teapot as well!

Not just tea but great food too – We have visited the Te before and enjoyed their tea and scone selection (My husband is English and likes his cupper). This visit we we ate lunch and were delighted to learn the extent of their food menu. The chicken salad was tasty and pretty to the eye and my husband enjoyed his sandwich. We will be back for lunch when we come to town!

Wonderful tea house, great tea – A great local tea house that carries a wide selection of delicious tea. A very calm environment that is service oriented. This kind of tea house cannot be found in the suburbs (e.g., Sugar Land). A unique experience. A Bohemian kind of atmosphere - not your typical Texas prissy tea house for ladies in red hats. This tea house reminds me of the tea and coffee houses in the Village in NYC.

Wonderful experience! – I have visited Te House of Tea often on my way home from work and I have never been disappointed. The people behind the counter are always helpful - even on my first visit when I had no idea what I wanted. Everyone seems very knowledgeable about tea and they were able to answer any questions I asked. The food is delicious! I especially like their crepes- I have tried both the sweet and savory ones and they are both wonderful. The atmosphere is perfect for a quick quiet evening meal. I am constantly su... read more
