Levitea Gives Tea Time New Meaning

Tynisha Lomax tends bar like an experienced professional, bantering with customers while making various drinks in front of their watchful eyes. Only she isn’t your typical bartender. She’s a “tea tender” and the owner of Wilmington’s newest drink shop, Levitea (228 W. Ninth St., www.leviteawilmington.com). The beverages have names like Japanese cherry blossom, green tea pomegranate, white peony and Gen Mai Cha, and are served hot or cold. Levitea also offers croissants, muffins and apple turnovers with her more than 70 specialty teas. Read more in the May issue of DT.
