Argo Tea Cafe, Midtown

After telling my friend Devin that tea was one of my “life things” (as he later quoted), he suggested we meet for a tea party at Argo Tea. If you’re also a tea lover, you must check out this Chicago-based chain. Think Starbucks but only tea, and with a modern twist.

Many, many signature tea cocktails—fruity juices and rich, milky lattes—and even more loose teas. Too many to count! After careful consideration I went with the strawberry green tea, with hints of vanilla.

They brew the tea for you so it is perfectly seeped, and the cup comes sans tea bag. My tea wasn’t anything unusual, but it was a fun experience, the company seems to have a great mission, and the space is conducive for out-of-office working (quiet and free Wi-Fi!). If you want a super awesome concoction, don’t miss the seasonal ValenTea Passion drink. I had a sample and it was delish!
