For a well-prepared cup of tea in Santiago, you've got just a few choices, and T Puro will not disappoint. T Puro (pronounced Tay Puro) serves tea in it many forms, from simple tisanes of cedrón (lemon verbena) and other popular herbal teas in Chile to harder-to-find tea varieties including white tea and jasmine pearl, along side a proprietary mix of a milky cardamom-laced chai. Frosty teas blended with fruit juice are available in the summer. The snacks are hearty and tasty, including sandwiches and cakes. T Puro's atmosphere is family-friendly, with cozy couches and ottomans and a garden area where you can bring your dog, your bike or your laptop and ganas (a desire) to relax. It's a great place to meet friends, pick up a gift, or just take a load off after walking Santiago's posh shopping street of Alonso de Cordoba, which is just a few blocks away. English spoken.
