About The Steeping Room
The Steeping Room was opened in Austin in 2007 by Emily Morrison and Amy March as a tea room and restaurant, first at The Domain and from 2012 in Rosedale. The restaurant closed on September 24, 2022, and the company now sells online and wholesale. Its only physical address is a fulfillment center at 7801 N Lamar Blvd, Suite F7, which is open for local order pickup Monday to Friday 9:30 am to 3 pm and Sunday 10 am to 2 pm.
The list is broad, running from black and green tea to ripe puer and flavoured blends. The interesting end is single-origin: Masui's withered and heirloom senchas from Japan, Yunnan and Taiwanese black teas, and Vietnamese oolongs. Order Masui's Meiji Zairai Sencha and the Spring Wild Da Xue Shan Black first. For a local caffeinated herbal, try the Organic Texas Green Yaupon.
