The Taste of Tea

Much more than tea. We have been going to The Taste of Tea for many years and appreciate the fresh flavors of their ramen and all of their dishes. The service is attentive and helpful with menu choices. Their outdoor parklet is one of the best in Healdsburg.

Lovely spot. My Dad and I came here for our weekly lunch date. The server was very kind and attentive. The food was delicious and reasonably priced. $15 for an Udon Ramen. Veggie options. And great desserts!

Adorable Japanese place, excellent service and lovely food! Definitely worth a visit! Their ramen was delicious, as was their curry and udon. And the drinks...wow! I also like how the tables aren't too close together so we actually had privacy from other diners. And great vegetarian and vegan options. Highly recommend.

Excellent service and friendly staff.
Oh and the food was good as well!
Was a small mix up with my order and they promptly fixed it.
Learning about their teas and how they source them was fascinating. Typically my husband and I go to San Francisco twice a year for our tea. We may have to change that habit!

Cool spot for Ramen and tea.

We found this lively place while driving by Healdsburg our son is big fan of Onigiri this place has great selection of beverages especially artisans tea which I quite pleased.

Order house special Miso ramen and sukiyaki ramen they are both quite tasty. The service is great our server is so polite and really helpful with the menu makes sure that we are ok. We definitely be back againand will recommend this place to our friends.

Such a wonderful experience. The pork ramen was delicious, and so was the honeybush tea. They have great indoor and outdoor seating. I highly recommend the taste of tea.

i love the food here. the place and people are so welcoming and they try their best to give you the best experience possible. i wish there was more seating space, but it’s still nice. the food and drinks here are absolutely underrated and they taste A LOT better than they appeal.

Some of the best ramen I've ever had. The chef and owner are very eager to make food that their customers will love and enjoy. The atmosphere is relaxing and the decor is charming. They have fantastic saké cocktails I definitely recommend. This is a don't miss place for sure!

Superb Japanese food! Nice outdoor seating which is well shaded. Super dog friendly. Service excellent! We had the salmon ramen and the soba salmon salad. Both were excellent! I don't know how they cook the salmon perfectly!! Can't wait to come back. Great location, just a short walk from the plaza!

Truly amazing experience. The staff was attentive, the drinks and variety thereof were perfect and the dishes were impeccable... Well presented and delicious!

Wonderful Japanese food, with the most gracious service in town! This is a great place for an early dinner with both indoor and outdoor seating. It’s excellent value for the money. All the entrees we’ve had are fabulous and for dessert don’t miss the spectacular sponge cake!

Incredible and yummy experience. Had the Bento box. Portions were okay. But food was DELICIOUS. The drinks you need to try the unicorn Sake drink. Wow!

The wait staff were super awesome trained in the culture and had cool facts/tidbits about the food and cuisine.

Wish I could go back and try different dishes.

Excellent food and tea! Kendahl, Celine, and Alexis know what they are doing and will provide the best service. Definitely recommend going here.

This is without a doubt the best ramen that my taste buds have had the privilege to experience. Of all the ramen/soup restaurants that I have tried in my 27 years, this restaurant holds the absolute best tasting ramen. Words fail to describe the wondrous decadent stupendous flavor, it is a MUST try for all ramen lovers. I deeply regret taking this long to give the restaurant a chance, I sincerely hope you do not make the same mistake.

Fantastic ramen, noodles, and tea. Wonderful, friendly, accommodating staff. Great place. Great experience. Highly recommend.

Amazing tea selection, awesome ramen, and excellent service. Will be back!

Really good ramen and the sweet curry is a favorite that I return for over and over. My only complaint is the online hours state a totally different closing time than the front door posted hours. Might consider making your hours consistent and those that reflect the hours that you will actually serve people. We thought we had arrived for dinner well before closing, and we were told they stopped seating. But that’s my only suggestion! Really friendly staff and a wonderful cozy place to eat.

amazing food and amazing people i love them all

We did a day trip to Healdsburg and made a reservation for a table outside for Sunday lunch. It was quite simply one of the most refined, peaceful, elegant and perfectly prepared meals and experiences we’ve had at a restaurant since pre-COVID. Each staff member was kind, seemed well taken care of/happy to be there, and clearly trained in hospitality and service. The tea selection was incredible- we enjoyed a robust and earthy Japanese green tea. The ramen and yaki noodle dishes were made with high quality ingredients and perfectly spicy (we asked for spice). Our 5 year old enjoyed the yaki noodles on the kids menu, and the kids tea. The icing on the cake was the delightful, modern serving ware: from the glass tea cups to the chopstick holders. Thank you so much for a wonderful meal and experience- we can’t wait to return next time we’re in Healdsburg!

Delicious food and excellent service. We found this place when looking for a late lunch. Could not have been more satisfied with the experience! Staff took care of my elderly mom who accidentally selected a ramen that was too spicy. Offered us other choices, not all on the menu, which proved to be just right for her taste. She and I left very happy with our discovery. Can't wait to return when next in town.
