6 years ago we opened up our first farmers market tent. 5 years ago Dillon and Glenn moved to DC to join David in chasing a dream. 4 years ago we opened a tiny grocery store kiosk the size of a closet, our first permanent home. 3 years ago the world came to a halt, our hopes hanging in the balance. 2 years ago we emerged from the pandemic with a second shop. Last year we caught our big break and opened up at Union Market, saying goodbye to our first home in the process. And today we're proud, ecstatic, moved, honored, and grateful to open our doors to all of you. No matter how difficult it felt at times, this journey has given us so much joy along every step of the way, and we owe it all to your endless and generous support. So come say hi officially for the first time at Spot of Tea's first ever brick and mortar tea shop. To celebrate, all drinks will be 50% off at Dupont this weekend, so come through and let's have one helluva party!

Our Matcha Azuki Latte is a sweet, creamy, smooth, comforting creation that pairs sweetened red bean paste, your choice of milk, and our matcha sourced straight from Kyoto. Sweet red bean paste, known as "anko" in Japan, has been used in Japanese desserts for over a thousand years, and one of the most popular combinations is to pair it with the bitterness and umami of matcha. Come try yours today and celebrate AAPI Heritage Month with us! Don't forget 10% of proceeds from your purchase will go towards @washingtoncyc , a local nonprofit serving AAPI youth since 1939! #dceats #edibledc #eaterdc #yelpdc #districteats #drinktea #teatime #teaislife #teaaddict #boba #bubbletea #bobalife #aapiheritagemonth

Say hello to the newest member of the Spot of Tea lineup: Passionfruit Green Tea.​​​​​​​​​ Refreshing passionfruit puree married with light jasmine green tea makes the perfect thirst quencher after a meandering sunny walk. We were originally going to launch this in June, but so many of y'all requested it that we're manifesting summer early. Get yours at both locations starting today! #dceats #edibledc #eaterdc #yelpdc #districteats #drinktea #teatime #teaislife #teaaddict #boba #bubbletea #bobalife

Our long awaited reusable jars are back and better than ever!​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ These are the true mark of a stan who is both sustainability-minded and so put together that they actually remember to bring their reusable jar (hopefully one day in a Spot of Tea tote 👀). Plus, as the savvy amongst you know, you can bring in any reusable cup for a 10% discount, so investing in one of these is basically saving for retirement 🤑. ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ Bonus fun fact: we used to manually drill the holes into the lids on our old reusable jars #vintage . These won’t have the same homemade touch but they’ll be a lot more symmetric!

every so often, i find a local spot that blows me away with their food, AND their customer service. but nobody has ever amazed me quite like @drinkspotoftea 🧋💗 first of all, their summer menu is UNBELIEVABLE! this is their creamsicle milk tea, and it genuinley tastes just like a melted ice pop 😭 it is the PERFECT summer drink, i also love the strawberry matcha 👀 their staff is UNBELIEVABLY kind, and literally goes above and beyond to make their customers feel special. the 2nd time i went into their new store, their wonderful team recognized both me AND my friend and took the time to catch up with us 😭🫶🏻 their boba is good all by itself, but the people who work there make it even better 😄 what’s the best customer service you’ve received in D.C? 🌤
