Located at 1453 W Taylor St, Chicago, IL 60607, Living Water Tea House operates as a tea house serving Chicago in Illinois. This page gathers the practical details people usually look for before visiting: where it is, how to reach it, when it opens and how customers rate it. Besides its main category, the business also describes itself as cafe, tea store, so it may cover more than the name suggests.

Hours at these spots often run into the evening, later than a typical coffee shop, and many stay open on weekends when demand is highest in Chicago. Seasonal and limited-time drink or dessert flavors are common, so a shop's current menu can differ from what is posted online; checking recent photos or calling ahead helps. Some locations in Illinois are dessert-only with no seating, meant for takeout, while others have cafe-style seating for staying a while. Straws for bubble tea are typically wide to accommodate the toppings, and are provided automatically unless you ask for a regular one. Loyalty apps and stamp cards are common at chain locations, and ordering ahead through an app can shorten a wait considerably at busy locations during peak after-school and after-dinner hours.

Traffic in Chicago peaks on weekday mornings and afternoons, so allow extra time then.

Luxurious tea, relaxing and refined atmosphere, super knowledgeable staff, beautiful design. The tea tasting here is a touching experience. I ended up buying a bag from the tasting. If you have any questions about tea the owner knows his shit! Coming back asap.

Visited as a walk in for a tea tasting session at the bar. Needed to wait till the top of the hour for the next one, so I walked around the nearby park - which was also so beautiful! The tea session was sooo great. There were 4 people in the session. The brewer shared so much of the knowledge he had of tea, brewing tips, and his love of tea was evident. We tried 3-4 teas, and he selected them based off our preferences and asked our thoughts of each. I had a flight to catch later that day, but I didn’t want to leave! Because we were curious about the differences between tea latter vs milk tea, he made one for us and even shared and let us taste the phoenix dan cong tea latte! Overall so fun for tea lovers.

I had the greatest time at Living Water Tea House. It has such a beautiful ambiance and calming decor. My friend and I came to get the tea service, which was really reasonably priced and informative. Kelley was amazing! They were so knowledgeable about tea and passionate about sharing, and we had a wonderful time. Alison was so sweet as well and went to far as to call the owner about the pricing of a new tea canister I was interested in buying. Both of them were lovely people who were so kind and helpful and went above and beyond to make my experience so special. We will definitely be back! On top of the lovely employees, the tea amd snacks were amazing.

I went here for the tea tasting experience at the bar and I would 100% go back! Not only is it great value, but the customer service is incredible - such intelligent and kind guides serving the delicious tea. Aaron, our guide, was great!!! Alison was so helpful, too. :) I also bought a few tea bags and got the tea cake to try, which was so tasty. Highly highly recommend!

Came here for the tea bar service. It was amazing, educational and I was able to try many wonderful teas from China. The service was amazing and the tea tender Ted was very nice and gave us great background on the teas and flavors. I learned a lot about tea chemistry and Chinese tea traditions. I am definitely coming back with friends and family. You can make a reservation online for the tea bar or walk in and order from many items and sit at a table. Order the premium Phoenix Oolong. It is very unique and by far my favorite of the teas I tried. The jasmine green was also wonderful!
