Sip
Head over to Tea and Chi for a cup of rejuvenating goodness. This Vero Beach teahouse has been the local go-to for pure oolong, green, white, rooibos, lapacho, yerba mate, and herbs and spices since it was launched in 2003 by scientists who “drink tea for the chi,” the vital energy it provides. Chill in the relaxing space with a fruity, berry, or apple-ginger tea, chakra blend, or stout chai. 2044 14th Ave., Vero Beach; 772.563.0620
