Miami's Tea Scene
Miami's tea scene is small and spread out, and most of it is afternoon tea. The Biltmore pours from more than 15 teas in its lobby with a harpist, The Tea Room at Cauley Square has served tiered trays in the Redlands since 1974, and Little Hen in Midtown runs an English-style tea service alongside brunch. For leaf, Admari runs a tea studio in Little River with drop-in communal tastings, and specialTEA Lounge on Coral Way has stocked more than 60 loose-leaf teas since 2009.
Admari is in Little River and Little Hen is in Midtown. The rest sit outside the urban core: the Biltmore in Coral Gables, specialTEA Lounge on Coral Way in Westchester, and The Tea Room at Cauley Square in the Redlands.
