Washington, DC Snowstorm & Zen Tara Tea Closing
The Washington, DC area is in the middle of a record breaking snowstorm. The snowfall has necessarily closed the Zen Tara Tea shop early Friday, February 5th. We will be closed on February 6th when the heaviest snow hits the area. We hope to open by midday on Sunday, February 7th. While we are normally closed on Monday's, we will also be open on Monday, February 8th regular hours from 8am to 8pm.
The majority of our teas are available to order through this website 24/7 regardless of the weather. Orders placed over the weekend will be promptly shipped on Monday morning.

It's time to start really living. Sit back, relax and take a few minutes to enjoy our soothing teas and wide selection of caffeine-free botanical tea blends. Visit us at our shop in downtown Bethesda, the Bethesda Farm Women's Co-Op Market, or here online. Our selection of teas, accessories and special gift items change seasonally just as winter will soon give way to the first blossoms of spring. View our February Special Events calendar (PDF) and print out a copy to keep up to date with special events, new teas and tea tastings.
Reserve our Tea Tasting Room for your next small group or meeting location. The room comfortably seats 10-12 people. Tea (of course), coffee and desserts can be ordered for the event or purchased individually by attendees. Lunch can be catered with advanced notice.
We have a morning dark side at Zen Tara Tea as well, a coffee side. Despite the paths worn in the sidewalk from weary morning coffee drinkers to the Starbuck on the corner 600 feet from our door, we do offer an alternative worth stepping out of that rut. We proudly serve locally roasted Mayorga Coffee from just up the street in Rockville, MD. at a special morning wake-up price of 99 cents for a small coffee. Helping you, helping the local economy and great tasting coffee for those who don't follow the herd.
All month long at the shop:
-
A special preview of new tea cups, pots and accessories for Spring 2010 to warm up cold winter days and nights.
