Welcome to the Tea Studio where you'll create gourmet meals in an immaculate professional grade kitchen. Relax in a one-of-a-kind former spring factory with Chicago's trendiest neighborhood at your doorstep. Sip rare teas and indulge in the sophistication of this Asian-industrial loft. Detox after a long day in a stainless Japanese soaking tub.

The space
This is an early 1900's warehouse (formerly a Prohibition era distillery, then a spring factory for several decades) that was recently converted into a gorgeous, open loft space.

The space is located just off of Division St in Wicker Park. It contains 14' tall timber ceilings, exposed floor-to-ceiling brick walls, solid oak floors, and a unique decor mixing various Chinese, Japanese, and industrial elements.

The kitchen was featured in Signature Kitchen & Bath's 2014 annual kitchen awards, winning 2nd prize in the contemporary class. It includes a 10' long stainless steel island, a 22,000btu, 6-burner Thermador gas range, double ovens, a massive refrigerator and commercial exhaust hood.

The cocktail bar comes fully stocked with a unique selection of whiskeys (mostly bourbon and Japanese whisky, plus some Scotch), not to mention a couple dozen bottles of wine and craft beers for your enjoyment.

Further, we used to operate a whole-leaf tea business out of this space, so you'll have hand-plucked oolong and aged Puerh teas to try. For convenience, we have a Nespresso machine with a variety of single-origin pods along with freshly roasted coffee beans, a Baratza Encore grinder, and a Fellow gooseneck pourover kettle.

If you get hungry, there's a myriad of great restaurants nearby, but I also keep basic breakfast items in the fridge for your convenience.

Both full bathrooms are surrounded by floor-to-ceiling Spanish porcelain tiles, glass enclosed showers, rainfall shower heads, and Japanese toilets. The master bathroom includes an illuminated mirror, heated floors, and a stainless steel Japanese soaking tub, along with Samsung high-efficiency washer + dryer, all available for you.

Guest access
You have access to everything: Samsung in-unit washer/dryer, a 65" Samsung 4K flatscreen with Netflix, Prime, and a Sonos sound bar and speaker system, a Nest thermostat for easily adjustable climate control, plus all cooking utensils, appliances, pots, pans, thick Turkish cotton towels, Public Goods toiletries, etc...

Other things to note
The bed is king-sized, with brushed sateen sheets, a luxurious faux fur comforter, featherbed topper, and a stack of plush, king-sized pillows.
