If you’ve ever walked into Crepes Tea House and looked at the menu, you know the feeling—over 100 teas staring back at you, each one sounding more intriguing than the last. It’s no surprise that one of the most frequently asked questions our staff hears is:
“What tea should I get?”
The short answer? There’s no wrong choice. Every tea on our menu has been carefully curated for its quality, flavor, and story. But if you’re looking for some guidance, let’s explore some of our most popular tea categories and highlight a few standout blends from our sister company, C Tea House, that will help you discover your perfect cup.
Start with the Mood You’re In
Tea isn’t just about taste—it’s about how you want to feel. Some guests come in looking for energy, others want something calming, and some simply want a treat to go with their crepe. Here’s how to match your mood with the right tea:
- Need a morning boost? Try a bold black tea like Grand Earl Grey or Citrus Breakfast. Both offer brisk flavors that pair beautifully with a sweet crepe like Nutella & strawberries.
- Feeling stressed? Go for a herbal infusion. Egyptian Chamomile is one of the most soothing options, perfect for winding down in the evening with a honey-drizzled crepe.
- In the mood for something light? A white tea like Mango Sorbet or Ginger Peach offers delicate flavor with fruity notes that won’t overwhelm your palate.
Black Teas: The Bold Classics
Black tea is the go-to for many because of its rich, robust character and smooth caffeine kick. At Crepes Tea House, we often recommend starting here if you’re new to tea.
- Grand Earl Grey – A timeless favorite with notes of bergamot citrus. Perfect for breakfast or with a savory crepe like ham & cheese.
- Apricot Black – Sweet and fruity with a strong tea base, balancing freshness and strength.
- Cinnamon Sugar Plum – A festive black tea that combines warming spices with a natural sweetness. It’s a fan-favorite in cooler months but delicious year-round.
These teas from C Tea House showcase why black tea remains the world’s most popular style—it’s versatile, flavorful, and pairs well with nearly any dish.
Green Teas: Fresh and Energizing
If you’re looking for something gentler than black tea but still want a refreshing lift, green tea is the way to go. Known for its grassy, floral, and sometimes nutty undertones, green tea is packed with antioxidants and perfect for sipping with lighter crepes.
- Jasmine Green – Infused with jasmine blossoms for a calming floral note.
- Sencha – A classic Japanese-style green tea with a clean, bright flavor.
Pair these teas with fruit-forward crepes or even something savory like smoked salmon for a balanced experience.
White Teas: Subtle and Elegant
White tea is the most delicate of all, often described as smooth, sweet, and light. It’s the perfect introduction for someone who thinks they “don’t like tea” because the flavors are subtle rather than overpowering.
From C Tea House’s White Tea Sampler Box, you’ll find:
- Ginger Peach – Award-winning blend that balances sweet peach with warming ginger.
- Mango Sorbet – Fruity and refreshing, reminiscent of a tropical dessert.
- White Peony (Bai Mudan) – A classic pure white tea with a mellow, slightly floral finish.
Pair these teas with sweet crepes filled with fruit, cream, or honey to let the soft flavors shine.
Herbal Teas: Caffeine-Free Comfort
Not in the mood for caffeine? Herbal teas (technically tisanes) are flavorful, aromatic, and perfect for any time of day.
- Egyptian Chamomile – Relaxing and floral, ideal before bed.
- Barbados Fruit Tisane – Bursting with tropical fruit flavor, great iced or hot.
Herbal teas are especially popular for pairing with dessert crepes, since they refresh the palate without adding more sweetness.
Chai Teas: Warming Spices & Comfort
If you want something cozy, chai teas are a must-try. Traditionally made with black tea, milk, and a blend of spices, chai is bold, spicy, and comforting.
- Gingerbread Chai – A playful blend that tastes like dessert in a cup.
- Caramel Chai Pu-erh – Sweet, earthy, and indulgent.
- Spiced Masala Chai – A timeless mix of cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, and cloves.
Pair these with hearty crepes or even savory options like mushroom and cheese for the ultimate comfort food experience.
How to Choose if You’re Still Unsure
With so many options, it’s normal to feel overwhelmed. Here are some tips to help you narrow it down:
- Ask yourself: hot or iced? Many teas transform dramatically when served iced. Berry Mojito Green and Barbados Fruit Tisane are customer favorites in summer.
- Go seasonal. Warm yourself in winter with Cinnamon Sugar Plum or Gingerbread Chai. In spring, try light options like White Peony or Sencha.
- Try a sampler. Can’t commit? The C Tea House Sampler Boxes—like the Black, White, Herbal, and Mixed samplers—are perfect for discovering your taste without pressure. Want to see them?
- Pair with your crepe. Sweet crepes love lighter teas, while savory crepes pair better with bold, malty, or spiced teas.
