Our Story

A Tradition of Tea, A Place to Gather

For more than 35 years, tea has been more than a beverage to us — it has been a tradition, a passion, and a way of bringing people together.

Our journey began with a simple appreciation for good tea: the aroma of freshly brewed leaves, the beauty of a carefully prepared cup, and the conversations that naturally seem to happen around a teapot.

Over the years, that appreciation grew into a dream — to create a place where people could slow down, enjoy something delicious, and feel at home.

That dream became Time for Tea.

Located in the historic King William neighborhood of San Antonio, Time for Tea brings together the timeless traditions of tea with the relaxed spirit of a modern café.

We carefully select premium teas, with a special love for organic loose-leaf tea, and pair them with thoughtfully prepared food, coffee, refreshing drinks, and desserts.

Tea Has Always Been About Connection

Across generations and cultures, tea has had a special way of bringing people together.

A cup shared between friends.
A quiet moment alone.
A conversation that lasts a little longer than expected.
A celebration with family.

These are the moments that inspire us.

We don't want Time for Tea to be simply another café. We want it to be a place where you can pause, connect, and enjoy the moment.

Made With Care

From the tea we brew to the food we serve, we believe the little details matter.

We choose quality ingredients, prepare our offerings with care, and strive to create an experience that feels both familiar and special.

Because for us, hospitality isn't just about what is on the menu.

It's about how you feel when you're here.

Welcome to Time for Tea

Whether you're discovering loose-leaf tea for the first time, enjoying a favorite you've loved for years, meeting a friend, or simply taking a moment for yourself — we're happy you're here.

Pour yourself a cup. Stay awhile.

There is always time for tea.
