A new teahouse is opening in Old Town, offering a variety of teas, tastings and shopping opportunities for tea lovers.

Seven Teahouse is under construction at 101 S. Royal Street in Old Town Alexandria near City Hall. Signs on the windows indicate an opening sometime this fall.

Seven Teahouse got its start in a Loudoun County farmers market before opening its original location in Leesburg in 2024. The Leesburg spot will stay open, and more locations are in the works.
