The Green Leaf Tea

Crema's Take
“This beloved Lincoln institution elevates tea far beyond the ordinary, curating exceptional loose-leaf selections from renowned origins like Darjeeling alongside creative signature drinks that surprise and delight, from raspberry mango lemonnade to their talked-about Dark and Stormy. The calm, welcoming atmosphere paired with stellar scones and thoughtful high tea events makes it the kind of place where you linger happily, whether you're sampling unfamiliar tea varieties or sinking into conversation with friends. What keeps people coming back is the genuine warmth of the owner and staff combined with quality that shows in every detail—colorful iced drinks, fair prices, and a genuine passion for the craft that transforms a simple tea shop into a treasured neighborhood gathering spot.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection, with creative signature drinks, good cold brew. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu.
