The Bite:
imageLooking for an arousing cuppa tea? Go all the way…downtown, and check out Siptea. This place has got more than 30 organic and fair-trade teas, including black, green oolong, herbals galore, plus seasonal White Christmas tea for the holiday purist. It'll serve any of 'em hot (duh), over ice, mixed as a soda, or even blended as a latte (try the Caramel black tea as an eggnog latte) – clearly, this ain't Starbucks. If you're hungry, nibble the organic Tea Sandwich Sampler - lox, watercress, and cucumber - and use the free WiFi in stylish stainless-steel and funky-lime-green surroundings – all built within LEED standards. Satisfaction guarantead.
Wanna Try:

Cocktail Fact

The British commonly drank ale for breakfast before they started importing tea in large quantities.

Small Changes Add Up

If 10,000 LA Biters drink a cup of organic tea instead of conventional tea every day for a year, we'll keep the weight of 280 clay teapots in pesticides from pouring into the environment.
