this weekend, derek was in town visiting old friends. i ended up meeting him, nancy, and one of his old high school friends, amelia, at teaism in dupont.
the place was pretty cute with unique decor. a small little tea house (seating upstairs) right next door to a starbucks, hahaha. they served both breakfast and lunch foods. the menu included items that seemed somewhat indian, somewhat thai, with a heavy emphasis on tea. not being a big fan of eggs, i went with lunch. nancy, derek, and amelia ordered breakfast food. nancy and amelia got this tea-cured salmon with naan dish which was pretty interesting (i helped myself to a bite :P). the salmon flavor overwhelmed any tea-curing flavor. derek got some omelet which looked pretty good. i think also with the tea-cured salmon. i got some thai curry which was pretty good, but later on, i regretted not trying some of their more unique items on the menu. but eh, i was hungry and the thai curry was filling 
the place had a wide variety of tea… i ended up trying their bubble tea. the tea flavor was good, but i felt like their bubbles were too mushy. derek got the mango juice, which i saw a couple more orders of… it looked pretty good. nancy got the iced green tea which also looked good. i’m not sure what hot tea amelia got, but it was kind of nice because they gave her her own little tea pot.
pretty nice place. i’d like to try a few more items off their menu before deciding whether i like it or not.

have you thought about joining yelp? you can put reviews there, and if you post enough of them, you can become an Elite member like me :-). hehe, last night I got a yelp t-shirt, chap stick, and nail file for free!!
btw, i got bubble tea at wegmans the other day. TERRIBLE!! The bubbles looked like little candies and they tasted terrible. Some of them were clear, others were red! I have NO idea what they were using.
