Visitors to the space feel like they can leave their shoes at the door and order a warm beverage to drink while sinking into a patterned pouf. Sarah Scarborough, owner of Firepot Nomadic Teas, dreamed up the idea as a cozy gathering place with a look and feel that fits her company’s brand of “sophisticated bohemian.” Inside, layered rugs, cane accents, Moroccan-made cushions, and an intricately designed wood coffee table anchor the space. The shelving unit, made of reclaimed wood by Kaldi’s employee, Josh Nault, is the keeper of an array of accessories, photographs from Scarborough’s world travels, and several of her favorite books. 3983 Gratiot, 314-727-9991.
While Kaldi's currently does not offer tea cuppings in this space and mostly uses it internally, you can call ahead to make an appointment to see it and the rest of the roastery.
