If you're a fan of exotic flavors, Aloha Harmony Tea House just may be your Shangri-La. Founded by Mirko Despotovich, a 30-year veteran of the wholesale tea trade, the shop is well positioned to become Oahu's favorite destination for tea. The tea house's mainstay is its impressive array looseleaf teas, 86 in all, which take up a long wall of the store. This is a collection of the highest quality t
eas in the world, sourced from every corner of the globe, available by the pound. Visitors are invited to smell everything, and many will find themselves lost in some new fragrance. The aromas are all over the map, including the warmth of toasted coconut, the lilt of jasmine, and the sweetness of raspberry. Aloha Harmony Tea House is a peaceful refuge in busy Waikiki. Located on the corner of Kalia and Beachwalk across from the Outrigger hotel, it's an ideal place to recharge. The perfect drink will always be available, whether it's stormy and cold or hot and humid. Green tea lattes and tea sorbet floats will refresh, Earl Grey and Darjeeling will invigorate, and hot green and white teas will relax. Guests are invited to try any from the looseleaf collection, brewed on the spot. In addition to drinks, the shop offers fresh-baked pastries for the hungry. Visitors can retreat to the lanai, to spend some time in the shade. The shop carries a wide range of unique and beautiful gift sets for tea drinkers back home, including teapots, brewing kits, and an expansive array of every kind of bagged tea. Every day more people are learning about the endless flavors and the health benefits of tea. Whether you’re a veteran in search of the exotic, or a novice just looking for something refreshing, Aloha Harmony Tea House is not to be missed.
