Tea Mansion

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 we list are the list prices on each page. Free shipping within the United States starts at fifty dollars.
