Crema's Take

This Portland tea sanctuary is run by Sarah, a true artist who approaches each cup with meticulous care and deep botanical knowledge, crafting remarkably complex blends that feel personal and intentional rather than rushed. Beyond the exceptional tea itself, you'll find a genuine "come as you are" atmosphere where conversations flow as naturally as the steaming cups, and Sarah generously shares her expertise to help you find exactly what your body and soul need. It's the rare kind of place where specialty drinks feel less like transactions and more like small ceremonies of connection.

Best tea I’ve ever had! So delicious. Sarah makes each cup with the love and care of an artist for their craft.

The tea is excellent and creative. Best mixes of herbs and tea I’ve come across in my travels. The time spent and number of ingredients that go into making a cup of tea are remarkable. Sarah, the proprietor, does not rush the process or cut corners. Her tea is an artistic expression of her love for others and the world, and it really shows. Her prices are purposefully kept affordable so everyone can enjoy the delicious tea she makes. Just want to say something additional, which you can see from others’ reviews as well, which is that Sarah is actually the best part of the whole experience. She is a wonderful person and delightful to talk to and she will share her vast knowledge with you freely and lovingly, which is just such an awesome experience. I look forward to stopping in to see Sarah whenever I’m in Portland.

My experience was incredible. Sarah is so creative, knowledgeable, and fun. The atmosphere is delightful -- so authentic. I learned so much about the right tea to help me manage my Gerd and much more. She mixed my batch right in front of me (like Hibachi...only better) cutting the lemongrass fresh into the batch; it's so beautiful! This is small business at its absolute finest. Could not recommend this shop more. You rock Sarah!
