Our favorite tea shops in Columbus

2 places we'd send a friend to, with prices we checked ourselves.

Columbus lost both of its best-known tea salons in the last few years, and what is left is two very different counters. One is a spice stall inside the North Market downtown that sells herbs and a smoked black tea loose by weight, starting at a quarter of an ounce; the other is a reservation-only tearoom in Franklinton with a small boutique attached. Neither stocks oolong today, so the oolong rows on our tea pages come from elsewhere in the country.

    A stall inside the historic North Market at 59 Spruce Street, opened in August 2010 by Ben Walters after years of tuning the blend now sold as the Columbus Rub. More than 400 spices and herbs are sold loose by weight, from a quarter ounce up to a pound, and the tea and herb corner is where this shop earns its place: a Lapsang Souchong from Fujian, fired over pine or cypress wood, at $11.00 for 2 oz, chamomile flowers at $4.20 for a quarter ounce, hibiscus $5.20 and crushed spearmint $3.85 the ounce, lemongrass $3.50 for half an ounce, tulsi $4.99, and a house chai starter of star anise, cinnamon, allspice, clove, pepper and cardamom at $9.00.

Also worth a visit

  • Cambridge Tea House · West Fifth Avenue, at the Marble Cliff edge of the city · 1885 W 5th Ave, Columbus, OH 43212No online prices yet

    A tea room pouring more than forty teas, but it sells seatings rather than packets and has no online catalogue, so there is no price per size we could read and publish.
