Unitea opening at 44th and Spruce

Thanks to Meal Ticket tipster DO for this one: Unitea is the name of the tea bar aiming for a March 29 opening at 265 S. 44th Street, right on the same block as Local 44 and Tampopo in West Philly. Owner Kashif Ahmad is an accountant by trade, but he's got some family connections to the food/drink biz — his aunt, Tayyaba Khanum, owns Nanee's Kitchen in the Reading Terminal Market. Ahmad will offer a lineup of 25 or so international teas (Ahmad's landed a top-of-the-line Brasilia espresso machine that can simultaneously brew coffee and tea), fresh-squeezed juices, a few sandwiches and crepes on weekends. Lots of halal and vegetarian options, too. Tea Bar Coming To 44th | Under the Button Posted 2010-03-25 11:30:58
