Soakology Teahouse - Portland

What a great experience to finish a girls weekend in Portland! I do wish staff would have asked others getting soaks in larger parties to keep their voices down. Could easily be done when they ask you to put cell phones on silent. Instead I had to shush people myself.

Never thought my new addiction would be tea. I'm an avid coffee drinker, at least a pot a day, but I've added tea to my mix now. I recently got a soak and massages; it has become a winter staple in my house hold. I always order a tea and a nosh as a treat. But this last visit got me curious. They have a lot of teas on the list, I began asking questions about them, just out of curiosity. Which turned into a world tour of teas and how to prep them. Did you know that certain teas should be brewed at different temps? I didn't. I realized a lot of care went into these pots. Something I had no idea about. I appreciate the time they took to answer my silly and ridiculous amount of questions. The masseuse recommended a blend they do of the chais. I don't need to tell you I'm how much I like it... I left with a large bag of it, and a small Ginger mint tea. I also tried the honey rim with sugar. I can't do it as well as them, but I'm trying. I highly recommend going in for something warm. It's like Starbucks but for tea drinkers, you can get lost in the ordering, so don't be afraid to ask. One pump of chai, dash of green, top with black tea.

An amazing and relaxing time. Jane's shoulder massage was the therapy session I didn't know I needed. I left feeling so refreshed, cleansed, and understood.

Soakology was amazing they have everything down to a T! We entered a room with huge king chairs, the soak we had chosen was brought into us, the best...
