Far Leaves Tea

A really wonderful place to come enjoy a nice cup of tea. They have a tremendous selection of teas from all over the world. The staff is very knowledgeable as well. There's also never any rush so you can get every last ounce of flavor from your tea and just sit back and relax. I do wish they would bring back the buns though!

Already the second time buying tea here! The quality is just more than paramount! The lady at the store is so kind and introduced different types of tea to me with so much patience and passion :). I cannot believe this store only has 90 Google reviews and guys let’s help spread some good words! A simple pure Chrysanthemum tea really made my morning! Thank you😊 ! If anyone live nearby and wonder whether you should check it out, please do! I’m definitely coming back for more tea 🍵

Huge shout out to Far Leaves who made my day during our visit to Oakland! It's was so lovely to go to a sit-down tea house where you have a kettle at your table, a wide variety of quality, directly sourced teas to choose from, and delicious treats to pair with it! We ended up getting a perfectly sweet white tip oolong for our tea, ochazuke (with genmaicha), and two steam buns (pork and burdock). Everything from the atmosphere to the service was incredible and I wish I lived nearby so I could visit all the time! Super excited to try out the locally inspired blends and puer tuo I brought home as well!

Hands down one of the best selections for world class teas sourced by the owner and provided in an amazing atmosphere. Having been to at least 50 tea houses around the US, I can say I make a special trip in the Bay Area just to visit. The staff (Brad) is great in recommending something I'll love and just generally being super chill. If you want a better coffee shop vibe with a better drink, you can't be disappointed!

The tea here cost about $7.50 on average, but wait! This place has the best environment in all of tea places I been to in Bay Area. The tea quality is also 7/10. Right when u walk in, your brain will feel numb like the same feeling u get when u go to a Japanese tea garden. Strongly recommend if u want to regain ur focus.
