Tea
is hotter than ever in Chicago! Spots specializing in this
brewed beverage have been popping up all over town. But now
a new concept is making its way into the Windy City…pairing
tea with sushi! It's called T-Spot and although it's only
been open for a little over a month, die hard sushi fans have
been flocking here for a taste! Right now you can choose from
a variety of thirty loose leaf teas to pair with your maki
or sashimi, but the menu is growing every day!
