Quick! What's the
most popular beverage in the world next to water? Coke? Grape Juice?
O.J.? Coffee? The answer: the most popular drink in the world is TEA.
The stuff a bunch of revolutionaries dumped in Boston Harbor a while
back. So move over coffee lovers. Make room for the first teashop
devoted exclusively to tea in downtown Ithaca in over 80 years. (During
Prohibition, newspaper woman Lois O'Conner ran a tearoom and in addition
to tea, sold salty roasted nuts to the speakeasies downtown.)
If you
are tired of the buzz and jitters you've been getting from coffee, to
say nothing of the heartburn from all that acid, try a tea break
instead. You can nip over to CognoscenTea for a soothing, calming,
bracing, relaxing or invigorating cup. Geri Stayman, owner and tea lover
will be on hand to find just the right tea to meet your cravings.
CognoscenTea is open seven days a week and is available for small
informal meetings throughout the day and some evenings. Please contact us to schedule your next event!
Take your time to browse our nifty gift items, most under ten dollars.
Enjoy tasting one of over fifty varieties of teas in our seating area.
