Infusions of Tea in La Jolla
In a perfect world, there would be an Infusions of Tea store on every corner, rather than a Starbucks. I’ve never had a cup of coffee in my life, but I’ve become completely addicted to and obsessed with tea. I would say that at my daily liquid intake, at this point, is 50% water and 50% tea.
And what kind of tea do I drink daily? Well, I’m sure this is something like “tea heresy” but for convenience’s sake, I have the shelves of my garage stocked with the bottled teas from Trader Joe’s - Orange & Bergamot Green Tea and TeJava. I highly recommend them.
Again, in an ideal world, I could effortlessly procure unlimited daily servings of the exquisite, fresh-brewed teas and blends from Infusions of Tea. The store has a relaxing and almost meditative atmosphere and it’s totally tea-centric. Not a coffee bean to be found! It takes a little longer to get your tea at Infusions because they brew it fresh from loose tea leaves in individual portions just for you. I always get a large iced tea which they brew at double strength for me so that it is properly diluted when poured over ice.
I love trying a different tea each time I swing by. One of my favorites is the Ginger Peach Black Tea (fair trade with peaches, cinnamon, cloves, cardamom and ginger). Next I plan to try the Lemon Drop Tea (with natural lemon myrtle and black tea).
The large teas range in price from about $2.50 to $5.00 for a large (on ice or hot). To me, it’s worth it for the taste and the unique blends and even just the health of a freshly brewed tea. Plus, the staff is super-friendly and knowledgable and over-the-top passionate about tea leaves. If you enjoy brewing tea at home, you can buy loose leaves and tons of tea paraphenalia at Infusions. Someday I plan to go down that road…
I’ve mentioned Infusions of Tea to several people over recent months and nobody seems to be familiar with it. I think that’s a shame. If you’re a tea freak like me, or even if you think you don’t like tea but you’re curious, try Infusions of Tea.
Now do you see why I wish there were an Infusions on every block!?!
I’m a San Diego transplant to Boston and have really enjoyed discovering your blog - it makes me feel at home and has given me a long list of places to try when I return this summer. Infusions of Tea has definately hopped on that list immediately, we have a similar sounding cafe in Boston, Tealuxe. Thanks for the tips!

Just curious, why did you never tried any coffee ? I can understand when people don’t like Starbucks because their roasting gives just mediocre results but there are so many good coffees available online for esppresso machines at home.

You’re right…we need more places like this in SD. Are there any other places like this? Whenever I get a chance I attend chinese tea ceremonies so I can taste all sorts of different teas.

Oh, poopy. I was just in La Jolla for a wedding last week, and I can’t believe I missed this. Well, I think I’m coming back in October, so I’ll hit it up then. Waaaaah!

Infusions of Tea is awesome… the lemon drop is really good. Same thing with the white tea. I also love how you can buy the leaves in bulk. I live a block away from it.. woe to my wallet.
