Since last week, many tea lovers have been upset by the closure of Wilmington's only tea house, Hojas. The Los Angeles County Health Department has temporarily closed Hojas due to lack of proper permits.This closure is temporary and the owners are committed to re-opening Hojas as soon as possible.
Here is a statement provided by their management:
"Hojas Premium Tea House has been temporarily closed for business. We have been asked to make changes to our facility to meet current codes and regulations with the Health and City Department. We will not only take this time to resolve these issues but will use this time as an opportunity to improve our establishment. We will be closed until further notice. We appreciate all our customers for their support and thank them for their patience and understanding during this time of improvement. Hojas Premium Tea House & Staff Ecc. 3:1-11"

They will be working with the City of Los Angeles, Department of Building and Safety on building modifications so that they can get approval from the LA County Health Department. The Council Office has been working the owners to try and help ensure that Hojas Tea House reopens as soon as possible.
Their regular customers are hoping so.
