“ So much fun to try the 5 teas that were poured into the harbor! Although the smell of one tea was so bad I didnt dare try it. There are places on either side where you can pour out the tea if you dont care for it. The clam chowder and scones are also really tasty. Perfect stop for a treat after the museum tour! ”
“ Such a fun experience. 4.50 gets you a cup and access to 5 teas. 3 green, 2 black. Just a fun experience! Enjoying life 1 sip, 1 bite and 1 small town at a time. Explore everything! ”
“ Love coming here! Have been twice, enjoy it every time. Be careful of the Smokey teas, tastes like a house fire. Blueberry scones are delicious, staff is so friendly. The gift shop is awesome, it has so much to look at. The tea sets and pots are beautiful. You can sit and drink your tea outside or inside, both looking over the river. Will be back! ”
“ Theres no reason for this tea room to be so good!! Taste all five tea varieties that were thrown overboard during the Boston Tea Party. Pro tip just a sip of each and then full cups of the varieties you actually enjoy! And go for Boston Cream Pie! And scones! Or a sandwich! And if the weather is nice, sit out on the deck and look at the Harbor! And dont miss the antique china, silver and prints in the dining room. ”
“ A recommended stop. Come for the tour or even just to sit in the tea room and enjoy the tea tasting with the atmosphere. The five tea available for tasting was decent. I came with low expectations due to some reviews and as someone who has had good teas. But all five teas I had was right on in terms of what they are the taste, the finish, and the color. I was impressed for a 4.50 bottomless cup of tea. The scones were delicious and a nice snack. Didnt get to do the tour since weather was rainy and cold but looking from the tea room, seemed fun and good opportunity to learn the history behind in all. ”
“ Chicken salad sandwich was great and trying all 5 teas from the Boston Tea Party was a fun little break from walking the city. Highly recommend stopping by the gift shop downstairs and bringing home your favorite tea. ”
“ A different tea room in the sense it isnt high tea or a pre set menu. More a food court imo, but I liked the selection and how spaced out everything was. Relaxing with the view outside too You can buy sandwiches, pastries, beverages, including trying all the original teas for 34. And everything was good! I especially loved the cookies and local sodas, which taste like nothing Ive had before. The workers were friendly as well. Seats were a little wobbly and the tables could be wiped down more, but it isnt a restaurant. And they refilled the tea often. Def worth it for a pit stop if youre closeby. And I think you can go to the tea room any time, not even if you get a ticket to the museum, which is nice since its connected with a walkway so you can be above the water ”
“ 4.81 will get you a bottomless cup of five of the teas thrown into the river during the Boston Tea Party! I love the artifacts and facts lining the walls, and the tapestries and chairs and floors which give the impression of stepping back in time. The ramp up made it quite accessibleminus the lack of automatic doors, as those were quite heavy. The souvenir shop has so many fun varieties of quality teas!!!! I didnt go to the museum, as there were an awful lot of kiddos today, but it was super fun and affordable just to grab tea and visit the shop I got M21 tea, Oliver and Pluff tea, and Eastern Shore tea from the shop. Highly recommend!!! If you do come by wheelchair or walker, be very careful and aware of the joints in the bridge!!!! They are very deep! There isnt much parking, so this place is best approached by T, but with a handicapped sticker I was able to get a spot down by the Hood Milk Container in front of Bon Me. ”
