The Place

Teaism is a quaint and tasteful restaurant, the first teahouse in Washington, D.C. As Bon Appétit magazine says, "It offers around 50 different teas to choose from. It's a small, simple and beautiful retreat that actually provides a serene alternative to the out-of-control coffee scene. Owners Michelle Brown and Linda Orr hired chef Arpad Lengyel to create a menu of what Brown calls "affordable, top-quality food to go with our loose-leaf tea selections." Lengyel has succeeded admirably, offering Japanese bento boxes, tandoori kebabs and sandwiches with Asian overtones (there's even a hamburger with ginger and jalapeño)." What more can be said?
