Naturally Chai
, Monterey, CA
Crema's Take
“This intimate Monterey tea haven is a genuine refuge for those seeking authentic, thoughtfully-sourced teas rather than coffee shop trends, with a knowledgeable owner who treats every visitor like a friend worth getting to know. The sprawling selection spans traditional to herbal blends, and the staff's passion for tea shines through in their personalized recommendations and willingness to let you explore by scent before committing. It's the kind of place where you'll linger over a proper cup and actually want to come back, especially if you appreciate unhurried conversation and genuine expertise.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings.
