Tea shops · Washington, DC, United States
The Connecticut Avenue shop where loose leaf is still weighed out by the ounce, across a dozen categories and a wall of teaware.

The house
Tea Mansion sits at 1627 Connecticut Avenue NW, on the stretch north of Dupont Circle, and is open from half past ten until half past seven every day of the week, which makes it the easiest of the city's tea shops to reach after work. The same group runs mall counters at Fair Oaks in Fairfax and Westfield Montgomery in Bethesda, both outside the District, and lists Tysons Corner and Dubai Mall as coming.
The range is the widest in Washington by category count: black, green, oolong, white, rooibos, pu-erh, mate, matcha, fruit tisane, chai, blooming and iced teas, each sold in two, four and eight ounces and by the pound. Every product page lists its ingredients, which matters in a catalogue with this many blends in it. Teaware runs alongside — matcha bowls and whisks, infusers, tumblers, washi tea containers and gift sets.
A number of the blends are sold explicitly as stand-ins for Teavana ones that were discontinued, and the shop names them as such rather than pretending otherwise. Promotions run often, including site-wide two-for-one offers, so the shelf price and the price of the day are not always the same number; the prices on this page are the list prices. Free shipping within the United States starts at fifty dollars.

Explore this tea →The one worth the trip
Pu-erh is the category Washington's other shops mostly skip, and buying it somewhere that lists the ingredients and lets you take two ounces is how you find out whether you like aged tea at all. Ask at the counter before you buy: this is the one type where a shop's willingness to explain is worth more than the price.
