Tea time

Tea houses are the nouveau South Florida cafes

Afternoon tea seems like a dated concept, and it would be if it weren’t for these places that prove tea isn’t only cool, but oh-so-trendy, too. These South Florida teahouses offer more than just flowered table clothes and matching doilies. Think Starbucks without the beans. It’s all herbal in a tea shop. Even on a hot summer’s day, bagging one of these black, white or red teas over ice is like a trip to paradise.
