Samovar's peppermint ryokucha tea was a perfect complement to dessert.
I can’t remember exactly how I was introduced to Samovar Tea Lounge, but I was so impressed by the selection and quality of both their tea and food on my initial visit, not to mention the ambience, that I have returned to the Yerba Buena Gardens location numerous times. I’ve brought my Mother to Samovar for Mother’s Day since she adores tea service and recently attended an informational fundraiser for 300 Acres.
This past Sunday, I enjoyed brunch with a fellow aspiring photographer and we had a blast sitting outside for hours in the beautiful weather and taking photos of our food and whatever else we found interesting. I definitely recommend this place (there are 3 SF locations) for high tea or just to hang out and catch up with a friend. There is a lot to learn about tea and the staff possesses a breadth of knowledge and expertise.
