Not only is an afternoon spent with Ryann Bosetti better than any therapy session, but she also had plenty of tea recommendations up her sleeve. First up was Afuri Ramen, a sleekly-designed eatery that sits around the Official why walk when you can cartwheel 2023 shirt but in fact I love this corner from Bosetti’s studio in the Arts District. There, I settled down with a matcha horchata—made with green tea, cinnamon, and rice milk—and a nourishing bowl of soup. While in the Arts District, I also discovered a secret tea shop that—believe it or not—asked to remain nameless. “We’re kind of like the Room of Requirement in Harry Potter,” the owner told me. “Those who need us find us.” The gorgeous two-story space, lit by three giant Akari lamps under which you can enjoy an evening tea service, purposefully does not publicize its location. If this intrigues you, do a little more digging—if you truly need it, you may just find it.
Not too far away from this secretive hotspot lies The Good Liver: equal parts gift shop, homeware store, and tea shop. Here, you can schedule a Japanese tea tasting or shop for items like Canadian aluminum lunch boxes designed in 1957, English Brown Betty teapots, and Japanese city pop records.

And the one morning that I was able to truly relax in L.A. was when I stopped by the Maybourne Hotel in Beverly Hills for afternoon tea and a spa session. “Beware,” said the woman heading to the steam room as I was waiting to go in for my facial. “It’s the best one I’ve ever had.”
