Our favorite tea shops in Baltimore
2 places we'd send a friend to.
Baltimore's two tea counters could not be more different: a British tea room on Harford Road in Hamilton that weighs out Rishi loose leaf by the ounce, and a spice shop on the Fells Point waterfront with a tea bar inside and the chain's catalogue in 2 oz bags. Two Baltimore tea companies without a shop, one at the Saturday farmers market in Waverly, sell online in 4 oz pouches. Prices on this page run from $3.95 for an ounce of English Breakfast to $26 for 4 oz of genmaicha.
