About Portal Tea — Northwest 23rd
Portal Tea began in 2003 under the name Tea Chai Te. Founders Dominic and Angela Valdes developed the business around tea and spaces for people to gather, later adopting the Portal name. Its original teas and bubble teas remained part of the offering through that change.
At the Northwest shop, the selection extends to house chai blends, nitro tea, kombucha and cold brew. Tea retail adds another reason to stop: customers can browse blends, gift packs and brewing pieces as well as order a drink. The courtyard offers an outdoor option during a visit to Northwest 23rd.
