Himalaya Teahouse (ASTORIA!)

Established in Autumn of 2005, Himalaya Teahouse is unique to the community of Astoria. With its many varieties of Organic and/or Fair Trade loose teas served in Darjeeling Presses or Japanese Tetsubin (iron) pots, you will enjoy the pleasure of experiencing new flavored teas in a quiet spacious environment or enjoy our Beer Garden in the rear and sit under the cooling shade of the lovely apple tree and grapevines.
