About Us

Our Philosophy

At American Tea Room, we focus on providing a curated selection of teas and teaware. Ultimately, our goal is to delight our customers and the recipients of their gifts.

An American Tea Company

We source teas and teaware from around the world to craft a distinctly American tea experience. The result of our efforts is an artful blend of flavors and styles that reflects the cultural and culinary fusion for which this country is known.

Quality Teas

We travel far and wide to source only the best teas from around the globe. Our commitment to quality tea results in a range of tea types geared toward tea connoisseurs and novices alike. These teas include rare matcha teas, whimsical rooibos blends, USDA Certified Organic teas and a large collection of Earl Grey blends.



An Eye for Design

We love eye-catching, functional designs and are thrilled to share our unique design finds from around the world with you. Our focus on design has won us thousands of customers, as well as a few awards. From Japanese cast iron teapots and European stainless steel and glass teaware to colorful tea canisters and cherry bark tea scoops, we have sought out some of the most design-centric teaware from a range of design aesthetics and craft traditions. We’ve also put our design savvy to use with our artful gift box sets and gorgeous tea-scented candles.

Gift-Worthy Goods

We feel that gifts are a wonderful expression of emotion, connection and appreciation, so we are honored to be one of Beverly Hills’ go-to spots for favors and lavish presents alike. We offer a range of gift items that are sure to delight their recipients, including gourmet foods, gift box sets, tea-scented candles and tea accessories. For large orders, we also offer personalized gifts and custom gifts.

A Love of Tea

We are passionate about great tea and teaware. Part of our mission is to spread that passion through our business. At American Tea Room, we strive to make tea accessible and fun by providing easy brewing instructions, user-friendly teaware and an educational store environment with frequent tea events, such as tastings and pairings.

Personal Gifts

In our years as a go-to spot for luxury gifts and favors here in Beverly Hills, we’ve learned a thing or two about creating fantastic personalized and customized tea gifts. Here’s a taste of what we offer:

• For orders of 25 or more of a particular gift, we will create custom labeling at no charge. This is ideal for commemorating celebrations and for providing personalized gift messages.
• In addition to customizing gift labels, we can customize the gift-wrap and any inserts (such as printed or handwritten note cards) for large orders.
• For a truly unique group of gifts, you can select your own teas for our bento box and gift box gift formats.


Contact us via email (mailto:tea@americantearoom.com) to arrange favors for your next birthday party, wedding, awards event, retirement party or bar mitzvah/bat mitzvah, or to plan corporate gifts and personal gifts for the holiday season.

Our Story We’ve been a staple of Beverly Hills gift and foodie culture since 2003. Over the years, we’ve won awards for our store design and products, and received accolades from Oprah, LA Magazine, Newsweek and others. More recently, we’ve expanded our online presence to bring our curated selection of fine teas and distinctive teaware to a broader audience.

Our Name

Some of you may remember us as Le Palais Gourmet – a name that reflected our French-inspired beginnings. Over time, our international range of products and our overall approach to tea (which includes easy brewing instructions, fun recipes, food pairings and in-store events) have come to reflect a distinctly American style. Our new name is an extension of this change and a reflection of our commitment to melding the worldwide cultures of tea for a uniquely American tea experience.
