I've never had boiled chicken in ramen before usually sliced BBQ pork. The noodles were very good. The flavor of soup very good. All toppings were cold.

A gem in Healdsburg, with excellent ramen and a vast tea selection. The staff is wonderful and this is a great place to take a break from the wine and booze scene.

Open Table made the process of securing a table super easy. The Taste of Tea was a wonderful place to dine. My guest and I enjoyed the beautiful and delicious Sake cocktails, ambiance, service and great food. Our server Kendahl (usually the bartender) was Awesome!!! She really knows her teas and we went home with a couple of packs to enjoy the next day. I have other friends I think will appreciate this experience and hope to be back in the near future!!

They weren’t busy but the service was poor and slow. I think the portion size is small for the price. I liked the ingredients in the salad but it was overdressed. Miso ramen lacked character and was too salty; also only one small piece of meat.

We had a fantastic lunch at Taste of Tea - the best miso soup and the mini rice poke bowls are tasty and beautifully prepared. Great place to dine before an event at The Raven Theater!
