Cupnkettle Teahouse
About us
Cup-N-Kettle is a quaint tea house nestled snugly at the top of Paradise Cove, a picturesque oceanfront hotel on the East-end of St. Thomas, U. S. Virgin Islands. Cup-N-Kettle is the only tea house of its kind in St. Thomas where tea is widely consumed and enjoyed.
While coffee is a popular and delightful beverage, after water, tea is the second most consumed beverage in the world. In the contiguous United States, tearooms are opening at a steady increasing rate. Although tea has been consumed in the Caribbean by natives for Centuries, there are more coffee shops to be found than tea rooms in this region.
Many native Islanders can attest that while growing up, before they went off to school, they were offered a hot beverage called tea. If that hot beverage was (malted) Ovaltine, Milo, Hot Chocolate, (widely referred to as Cocoa,) bush tea or (bagged Lipton) tea; it was all referred to as tea.
Many homes had a backyard where some kind of bush tea was being grown. While the name bush sounds kind-of archaic, it is nothing more than herbal tea. When you think about it, all tea is derived from the leaf of a tree so in reality all tea is bush tea.
The proprietor, Evelyn Turnbull, of Cup-N-Kettle desires to fuse the use of local and international teas and bring awareness of the benefits of these drinks which can be enjoyed either hot or cold.
