The House of Tea in Philadelphia, PA

Greetings to you lovers of life, food and drink; today the Rogue Chef will take you to another off the beaten path learning and drinking experience. In my last expose` I had taken you to South Philadelphia to experience a quaint little spot, called "Victor Café". Well, to my appreciators of serendipitous circumstances, South Philly has way more to offer you than just one little old respected Italian eatery; it also has an out of this world (to die for) family owned and operated "Tea House"!

Approximately one block south, on the southwest side of the block, past the intersection of 4th Street & Bainbridge St.; way lays a tea lovers cornucopia. The name of this establishment is appropriately entitled "THE HOUSE of TEA. Ltd." and the initial purveyor of this shop of teas was owner and New York City native, "Nathaniel Litt". The Tea House is more than adequately stocked with a plethora and array of teas gathered from the four corners of the globe. Each loose leaf tea is positioned within its own segmented space along and around the custom designed shelving system built my Mr. Litt and added on to by the sole heir to his tea legacy Ms. Jessica Litt.
