High Garden Tea House &Apothecary

On the coldest day of 2019 I wandered into this whimsical establishment located in Nashville at 935 Woodland St.  www.highgardentea.com

Embraced by warmth and a mixture of pleasing, herbaceous aromas, once inside I began to have look around. Four walls of floor to celling teas and herbs in glass jars made this a lengthy process.  The employees were first rate, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable.  I purchased some loose herbs to take home and Iron Goddess of Mercy  tea to enjoy onsite.  I wandered deeper into one tiny room after another each with a unique focus; an incense table, a potter's closet, and lastly the fermenting room with kombuchas, of the most creative assortment, miso, and kefir.  A few more purchases were made and then my oolong was ready.

I sat down at a small table that seemed to transported one outside under an arched tree canopy one a summer day and enjoyed an exquisite pot of dark oolong perfectly brewed by a really sweet guy who knew his tea stuff.  I was not in a rush and lingered a good hour all the while enjoying the singularly distinctive environment of a true Tennessee tea treasure.  Check it out for yourself!
