I’ve always loved the New Moon Gallery, so I was very excited when they added a tea room. I have to say I was a bit disappointed, but only slightly. The tea was good and the atmosphere was relaxing. However, when ordering, there was a lot of confusion. It seems they are trying to work out the kinks of the new addition. I almost gave this a 3 rating, but the girl behind the counter was new… I think. If she wasn’t, I would be worried. I got the Matcha and it was okay, but a little too astringent for my taste. I did purchase a few ounces of the Peach Roobios that the manager(?) suggested (although I asked for a basic green tea suggestion. i ignored the misunderstanding because he sounded like he knew what he was talking about – plus, he had a lot to deal with at the time.) Anyway, the roobios has been very good and I would give the tea room a second chance. Hopefully, the kinks will be worked out soon.

new moon tea room is a very welcome addition to the chattanooga beverage scene. while it’s housed in a modest space in the back of new moon gallery, it boasts the biggest selection of loose leaf tea around town. after i’ve had enough sips of tea, i like to browse the book selection of the gallery. so many good reads! anyways, i really like this tea room. it has a good mellow vibe and all the employees that work there are really friendly. the chai latte is delicious. yum.
