Loose Loona Gifts and Teahouse — Restaurant in Rutland City

I love this place for it's location and for being what it is now and for the potential to adapt itself to its visitors over time. I usually work at the HUB or the library to avoid distractions at home and to have a different relaxed environment conducive to better productivity by switching it up HUB and library are closed Sundays as is Masala Corner so I set up here for the afternoon with 2 pots of tea and a flatbread. The place wasn't busy so I felt comfortable staying on to work through homework assignments delayed by major surgery and many many naps. I asked to make sure they're okay because when theeyes not enough customers to tell if that's p.c. it's better to ask. It was.

Until, powering through a lengthy post to a fellow student that involved research and citations copied and posted, my Wifi ended precisely at 3! The ship is open till 4 and is planned on staying until I was finished with two posts. I lost a good hour's worth of work. Blackboard is not as forgiving as Word in autosaving.

Trying hard but seems like China back in 1990 in a lot of respects. Live and learn. At least there the tables and chairs were right-sized.

From the moment you walk in the aroma of the teas hits you and immediately you feel relaxed and welcome. This place is so lovely! It’s so calming, clean and cute! The food is amazing!!! I had the chicken chipotle multiple times. The flavors on the menu you can tell are carefully crafted and always bring something fun to the table! The food is so fresh.

I love going...

The best loose leaf tea I have ever had, each cup feels as though it was brewed with mindful intent in a warm, relaxed and friendly modern atmosphere.

They have so many unique and different teas that have complex flavor profiles. Their food is delectable and a tasteful pairing to the liquid gold they serve here.

The iced tea is just as good as hot, served in an eloquent glass with the rest if the tea in a classy vase.

Flavor is still complex, but really calm and cooling on a hot hazy day.

They offer a variety of teas to take home as well, and bring the...
