Next Tea
543 Congress St, Portland, ME
Crema's Take
“This downtown Portland gem takes boba seriously, sourcing high-quality teas that actually taste like tea rather than just sweetened milk, with rare varieties you won't find elsewhere in Maine. The calm, introvert-friendly vibe and genuinely warm staff create the perfect refuge whether you're meeting a friend or settling in with your laptop, and their strawberry lemon tea and pillowy egg tarts have inspired genuine devotion among regulars. Next Tea strikes that rare balance of being both a specialty tea destination and a welcoming neighborhood hangout where families, students, and tea enthusiasts all feel equally at home.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings.
