Specialty Tea House · 'Aiea, Hawaii
Every cup tells a story you haven't tasted yet.
From single-origin Japanese matcha to rare oolongs sourced from family estates, we curate teas that reward patience and curiosity.
We started with a simple conviction: the best tea deserves more than a bag.
Tea Spot was born from a belief that Hawaiian residents deserve access to the same thoughtful, craft-oriented tea experience found in the world's great tea cities — without the flight. We source directly from smallholders in Uji, Darjeeling, and Fujian, importing only what passes our tasting panel.
Every blend on our shelf is something we'd serve our own guests. Our matcha is stone-ground daily. Our loose-leaf teas are steeped in pre-heated kyusu pots, because water temperature and vessel choice aren't details — they're the whole point.
Located on Kamehameha Highway, we're a quiet refuge for tea lovers and curious newcomers alike. No pretense. Just exceptional tea, properly made.
Crafted for the
discerning palate
Ceremonial & Culinary Grades
Stone-ground from first-harvest Tencha leaves. Our ceremonial grade is vibrant jade, umami-forward, and sweet — served traditional or as a latte with oat milk.
Tieguanyin & Dancong
Roasted to order. Floral, honeyed, with complex aftertaste that evolves across infusions.
Sencha, Genmaicha & Hojicha
From shaded first flush to roasted late harvest. Each steamed or pan-fired to preserve character.
Aged Sheng & Ripe
Earth-forward, deeply savory. Aged pu-erh that tastes like history in every steep.
Small Bites & Pastries
House-made wagashi, matcha scones, and savory rice balls designed to complement our tea selections. Fresh daily.
Slow down.
Taste better.
Curated Selection
47+ single-origin teas, rotating seasonal arrivals, and exclusive estate partnerships you won't find elsewhere in Hawaii.
Proper Technique
Every tea is prepared with attention to water temperature, steep time, and vessel. We don't rush it — and you'll taste the difference.
A Space to Stay
Quiet corners, natural light, and a calm atmosphere. Read, work, or simply sit with a cup that keeps going.
Trusted by tea
lovers across Oahu
The matcha here is the real deal — vibrant, smooth, and clearly ceremonial grade. I've tried matcha all over Oahu and nothing comes close.
Finally, a tea shop in 'Aiea that takes tea seriously. The staff knows their stuff and helped me discover oolongs I never knew existed.
My favorite spot to unwind after work. The atmosphere is peaceful, the tea is exceptional, and the wagashi are a lovely surprise.
