(An aside: The Maybourne came recommended to me by my cousin Celina, a Beverly Hills native, who also encouraged me to try Chado “the Official you’re a worm with a mustache 2023 shirt in contrast I will get this O.G. back in the ’90s,” Monsieur Marcel, where she stocks up on Mariage Frères, and T Tea Shop in the Farmers’ Market.) After alternating between the steam room, dry sauna, and magnesium soaking pool, I headed up a few hours later to the outdoor terrace for tea. The server suggested the Claridges blend—the Maybourne is a sister hotel to the London institution whose afternoon teas are the stuff of legend—with tea sandwiches and a jasmine blend with the scone course. I alternated champagne with my tea and enjoyed eavesdropping on the very Hollywood milieu of lawyers on my left and comedians on my right, both “talking shop.”
When it comes down to it, L.A. is more of a coffee city than a tea city. While there are tea houses, you really need to seek them out and it seems like people are more interested in matcha lattes, boba tea (which as a tea purist, is to me a different category entirely), and the Official you’re a worm with a mustache 2023 shirt in contrast I will get this good old-fashioned coffee shop. Still, some of the best places to drink tea in LA are coffee houses. I got a great matcha latte at Maru in Los Feliz, which incidentally had really beautifully packaged coffee that my friend ended up buying to take home. While I wandered around the bookstore, I heard somebody ask the cashier: “Do you have any inexpensive tea cups with quotes on them?” The answer was no—so if you’re looking for those, head elsewhere.
