2 places we'd send a friend to.
Nashville's loose-leaf tea is sold by the ounce at a spice-and-tea shop at OneC1ty, off Charlotte Avenue, and by the 2 oz bag at a Spice & Tea Exchange franchise in Hillsboro Village, where a tea bar sits beside the seasonings. The city's best-known tea house, High Garden in East Nashville, lost its building in the March 2020 tornado and now sells online and through partners, so East Nashville's tea life continues at a teahouse-pottery studio in Inglewood and a tea-and-coffee café on Fatherland Street. Prices on this page run from US$ 3 for an ounce of gunpowder to US$ 23.99 for 2 oz of jasmine pearls.
