Trudy and Istopped by the Royal Tea House this afternoon in Berwyn and met the owner Eileen Hoban. What used to be the Berwyn Coffee Shop has been transformed into a tea lovers haven or even heaven. Multiple teas of all types, black, green, caffeinated, decaffeinated, fruit teas, herb teas etc. Every type of tea you want, and if you don't see the one you love let them know and they will get it in. Unlike a traditional coffee shop Royal Tea House is really aimed at having you buy your tea rather than just stopping by for a "quick cuppa" as we British would say.

However, that being said there is a seating area and more and more people, tea lovers especially are discovering this resource on the Main Line. Located in Berwyn on Lancaster Avenue on the corner with Knox it is well worth stopping by. If you consider what you pay for a small box of specialty tea at Whole Foods you might find the opportunity to buy loose tea here a welcome relief, plus an education.

Eileen shared with us that the Germans are the largest tea drinkers in Europe, followed by the Irish. Also all the teas are checked to European standards making sure they are free from pesticides and several are organic. You also have the opportunity to buy a tea pot from the display and they come in all shapes and sizes.

And while you are in Berwyn, wander around, we have many interesting shops, restaurants and businesses.
