I love going to SpecialTEA even though I am no longer an FIU student. It's a great place to hang out with friends, with comfortable couches and great board games (Scrabble, Taboo, etc.) Also, I love how they have over 20 varieties of teas and tisanes, along with their shade-grown coffee. All of their disposable cups are made from corn, they are completely non-allergenic, and are compostable too. Even their bathroom is environmentally friendly with the option to half-flush. Best part of all, this place is cheaper than Starbucks, and it has more of a homely feel to it. Last but not least, the owners are fantastic people.
