Tea Time: The Haute 5 Afternoon Teas in San Francisco

Samovar Tea Lounge

The exotic and elevated tea experience at Samovar will open your eyes to a world beyond Earl Grey and English breakfast tea. Though they offer a lovely English tea service, get adventurous with a Moorish tea service that includes mint tea, dolmas, halloumi and vegetable kebabs and chevre-stuffed dates. Samovar doesn’t limit themselves to teatime. With two locations, they are there whenever you need an inspired (not to mention a delicious) escape.

Samovar Tea Lounge is located at 498 Sanchez St., 415.626.4700 and 730 Howard St., 415.227.9400
