History
From the first day we've opened we've set out to create something special. We wanted to share the secret of great tea, little known outside of the ethnic Asian neighborhoods across America. We set out to introduce Bubble Tea, an addictively fun beverage that is the new side of tea. We have known this tea all throughout our lives and have enjoyed it across many Asian countries across the lands. Not only did we sought out to introduce bubble tea, but we wanted to bring a slice of the new urban culture brewing abroad in Asia. Bubble teahouses in Asia are as common as coffeehouses are in the United States. Similar to our domestic coffeehouses, they serve as places to enjoy an afternoon, maybe with a friend or two. LimeRed is built to be a social powerhouse where everybody can feel at home and be themselves.
Specialties
LimeRed Teahouse is a tea shop offering freshly-brewed tea mixed into a variety of delicious and refreshing concoctions, milk tea being the most popular. From what started as a quaint shop in Amherst, it became a big hit among the students in the area. As long lines formed and word spread like wildfire about this affordable and delicious beverage alternative, LimeRed expanded to a second space in Northampton to accomodate a wider and varied clientele. LimeRed's tea drinks and mixes are made from freshly brewed, top-quality tea leaves imported from the best tea-growing regions of Taiwan. The tea is brewed, steeped and served in authentic Taiwanese tradition- no machines. You are assured of a drink expertly handled with a human touch. Our shops, bright and comfortable with minimalist decor and friendly staff, thrive on the engaged community of LimeRed lovers who make it a place for great conversations that create memories of great times. All these plus that one cup of your favorite tea drink makes for the unforgettable experience of a different brew.
