Low Arts Tea Haven, a “contemporary tea bar,” is opening this weekend at Avenue Carriage Crossing. On Friday, there will be an open house, from 6-9 p.m. It will open for regular business hours starting Saturday, 10 a.m.
Owners Maureen and John Fogel first got into tea for health reasons, then fell in love with tea for its lore, history, and traditions.
Low Arts Tea Haven will offer some 60 loose-leaf teas. They will have rare yellow teas and rooibos from South Africa. They will have a selection of Master Teas, and one tea that contains ground coffee beans. The baked treats skew healthy and include Martha’s Family Favorites.
According to Maureen, even though Low Arts is a “tea bar,” it’s not quite accurate to describe it as like a coffeebar with tea.
“Coffee is more go go go. Tea is about pausing and taking a moment,” she says.
