More Than Tea, A Lifestyle.
Sitting on Little Italy’s Taylor Street in Chicago, Living Water Tea House is a contemporary East Asian tea parlor. This open and calming space features East Asia-sourced tea and Chinese handcrafted artful tea-ware.
Tea Drinks
Focusing on bringing the genuine taste of tea to you, we source all tea leaves from East Asia -- rich Pu-erh from legacy tea houses in Yunnan, aromatic Dong Ding Oolong from Taiwan, and graded Matcha from Japan. Using the authentic flavors of tea as a foundation, we develop the most original recipes.
Tea Gelato
Now have Yunnan Ancient Tree Red Tea, Matcha Green Tea, Tieguanyin Oolong Tea, and Pu-Erh Fermented Tea flavor available in-store!
(Seasonal)
East Asian style pastries we serve include light and airy cotton cheesecakes as well as flaky and rich Su (aka Chinese puff pastry). We create tea jelly and other novelty toppings for the cotton cheesecakes, and curate the most traditional Su varieties for you to enjoy the tea with.
Tea Cakes
