Portal Tea has a simple mindset — to create delicious tea in cozy spaces that are safe for all. We want our shops to reflect their surroundings; for that reason, we use the mantra Tea as You Are as the guiding light in all we do
This is demonstrated most clearly in our shops — including a 1920 red caboose and Victorian home — whose unique characteristics are highlighted in a reflection of both the local community and those that keep the shops running.
Over the years, Angela has curated a collection of murals, table art, and hand-crafted artistic lighting that allows each shops best qualities to shine. In that same vein, some of our teahouses host art showings to lend customers the opportunity to find inspiration in the work of other local creators.
In other words, from the plants in our nooks to the incredible artwork on our walls, its all community-oriented. While this may seem like a small step, it helps keep us centered — after all, without our community, we wouldnt be here today
