Socra Tea Detroit

I’m have enjoyed this little gem for years! The tea choices are so varied — and the food is quite good.We are lucky tohave this place in Detroit!!

This has a creepy basement feel, dark and cold with no comforts. It is in the lower section of the plaza, you enter by going down a few stairs, so there are very few windows and natural light.I was greeted when I walked in and shown the tea selection of what I narrowed my choices down to. The service was great and helpful.The herbal tea I ordered was the locally grown Michigan lavender tea. It was extremely bitter and I needed to add a sweetener before I could really drink it.

This is one of the most welcoming places in the whole city.The tea lattes are killer. Every one of the drinks has its own character and is always made fresh using the best ingredients. Be careful not to drink too much tea. I almost took a nap on the comfy overstaffed couch by the door. It was just so comfortable!

I sold two mugs here in December and still have not been paid. I’ve left messages with two employees and was finally told I have to wait for a few more weeks even though my pottery sold in mid-December.

Atmosphere is nice and calming. I tried their mushroom latte, and it does taste like a cold brew coffee. The scone was also good, could have been heated up a tad bit more, but overall it was excellent. If you are a coffee drinker you should try out the mushroom latte. I promise you it doesn’t taste like mushrooms.
