FAQs
Where will Luxe Tea be located?
It’s only fitting to build Luxe Tea in a global destination like Chicago.
We’re still deciding which of Chicago diverse neighborhoods will be home to the world’s first global afternoon tearoom.
When will Luxe Tea open?
Our plan is open the doors of Luxe Tea in fall of 2027.
Will Luxe Tea accept reservations?
Yes. Reservations will be required in order to book a seat at one of Luxe Tea’s 3 daily seating times.
You can walk in to see if there are any reservation openings, but a formal reservation will need to be made. Walk-in reservations will only be available for parties of 4 or less.
What forms of payment will Luxe Tea accept?
For the safety of our staff, Luxe Tea will be a cash-free facility. Credit and debit card payments will be required in advance at the time of making your reservation.
how do you choose which countries to highlight?
Our first consideration in deciding which countries to include in our selection of global menus, is the strength of that country’s connection to tea.
The countries we highlight are some of the world’s top consumers of tea.
So first, we start with the people who live and breathe tea and then share the stories of those you often wouldn’t get to know about otherwise.
How will the rotating menu selection work?
We’ll have 4 menus, each dedicated to a different country.
Each week, two of those menus will be available for guests to choose from for their tea service.
For example, one week, you may be able to choose from our American tea and our Trini tea. The next week may be Trini tea and Chilean tea.
We’ll continue to add menus/countries so there will always be something new to try!
What is afternoon tea?
Afternoon tea is a cultural practice that originates in 1800s England. It typically takes place in mid-to-late afternoon and pots of tea are served with finger sandwiches, scones with clotted cream and jam, and sweets such as tarts and macarons.
Afternoon tea is a formal occasion that serves small bites in contrast to high tea, which is informal and involves larger portioned dinner foods.
