Products
Cafe
American Tea Room's cafe in Downtown Los Angeles features a menu with pastries and food made and designed by Valerie Gordon of Valerie Confections. The tea bar is equipped with two Bkon Craft Brewers, a reverse atmospheric tea infusion system,[2] in which they make an assortment of their loose leaf teas to order. They also have a variety of specialty tea drinks on their Global Tea Bar menu, based on tea drinks from around the world, like a Himalayan Butter Tea.[3]
Teas
American Tea Room carries a seasonal, rotating selection of over 200 teas from around the world.[4] These teas include rare single estate teas, tea blends, herbal teas, matcha, blooming teas, Earl Grey and English Breakfast blends and more in every tea category, with a majority USDA Organic.[5] Many of them are selected by David Barenholtz, the owner of American Tea Room, on his yearly travels around the world.[6]
Tea products
In addition to their tea, American Tea Room carries a host of porcelain, glass, and cast iron teapots, tea cups, and tea accessories for scooping, steeping, and storing tea. They also carry a range of matcha related bowls, whisks, and scoops.[7]
Locations
Since 2003, Beverly Hills has been their flagship location. The store features their full selection of teas, tea ware, and their cafe. Seasonally, they have hosted "tea-vents", which include local celebrity chefs and mixologists pairing food and drink with their specialty teas.[8][9] Currently, the Beverly Hills location is closed for renovation and is set to reopen in February 2016.[10]
Additionally, they have opened a tea lounge and warehouse in Downtown Los Angeles' Arts District. The 5,600 square-foot space has a garden lounge with fire pits with a green wall, a touch screen tea zone, and a full cafe menu.[11] A store is also set to open November 2015 in Orange County, at Fashion Island in Newport Beach, California.[12]
