The Tea Lounge, on Union Street, is a Park Slope staple — a place where you can bring your laptop, sip coffee or tea, eat, talk with friends, but also listen to great live music and sip something stronger at night.
But soon, far away from Park Slope over in Kuwait, you will be able to sit on a couch and drink any of their six organic-and-fair-trade-certified micro roasted coffees or 65 organic loose teas and it will not look too much different from the Brooklyn version.
The owner of Tea Lounge, Jonathan Spiel, has put a call out to businesspeople to own their own franchise. However, Spiel’s vision is more of an “unfranchise,†meaning that the franchisee (or better yet, the unfranchisee) has more creative freedom in building their very own Tea Lounge.
