A variety of tea locales in the Volunteer State
A drive through the rolling hills and mountainous farmland areas of central Tennessee is a scenic treat for those looking to escape their everyday routines. This region of the Volunteer State is full of small towns with antiquing delights and historical wonders; but it also is home to Nashville, the renowned Music City. Not only is Nashville a hot tourist spot for country music fans—as it serves as home for the Country Music Hall of Fame—but it also offers a range of cultural and culinary delights, including a number of tea shops and venues for afternoon tea.
The Nashville Tea Company is located just south of Nashville in Columbia, TN. It’s a beautiful, modern tea bar offering a curated selection of Southern inspired teas.
