MEM Tea
196 Elm St, Cambridge, MA
Crema's Take
“This Cambridge tea sanctuary goes far beyond brewing—it's a curated experience where knowledgeable staff like Jason guide you through an impressive range of loose-leaf teas with detailed tasting notes, and the shop itself becomes a destination with beautiful tea ware displays that invite you to linger. They've earned trust through genuine care, from replacing postal system casualties to offering sample sizes that let you explore their specialty black teas without commitment. The combination of their extensive selection, thoughtful presentation, and staff who actually help you discover what you'll love makes this feel less like a shop and more like finding your people in the tea world.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection, with creative signature drinks. Slow-sit spot.
