In addition to beautiful 19th and 20th century European and American antiques, you’ll find a cozy tea room with lovely fare and beautiful delicate porcelain China. The team room has a warm and welcoming feel, shying away from the typical pretentious environment. They brew over 35 top-quality tea varieties, such as blends of black, herbal, green, white, and rooibos. For food, Crest Hill offers tea sandwiches, fruit plates, and salads, along with scones, cakes, and pastries for dessert. Reservations are recommended at this popular tea room.

Carytown Teas—Richmond The owner of Carytown Teas, Patricia Guillouard Adams, was born and raised in Paris, France, and after moving to Richmond in 2005, she noticed a need for a proper tea shop in the area. Her goal was to open a shop that would be similar to the ones she grew up with in France. Her shop partners with small family farms and tea estates worldwide to offer customers over 150 fair trade, organic teas along with many custom medicinal tea blends. These tea rooms are well-versed in the art of brewing fine teas, whether you are looking for a refined experience with Earl Grey, in the mood for a calming cup of Chamomile, or need an energy boost in the form of a high-caffeine black tea.
