very zen place to come sit on zafus and sip gourmet world teas.
- 5 mins away downtown or West Asheville (full menu at west location). Best world teas in a traditional tea house atmosphere. You can sit in the back on tradition floor zafus if you want a very grounding, relaxing experience. I loooove this place for delicious teas in my favorite quiet, ambient environment.

From the website: Whitewater Falls is a stunningly beautiful, multi-drop cascading waterfall near Cashiers, NC and the South Carolina state line. It’s a gorgeous waterfall, and well worth the half-mile (round trip) hike to view a 400+ foot cascade. The hike trails a short, paved stretch of the Foothills Trail through a wildflower-filled forest, and catches some stunning views of Lake Jocassee nestled in the rolling surrounding mountains. Mid-hike, the trail scores its first views of the upper waterfall before descending a set of wooden stairs to catch a closer, wider view of the waterfall. It’s a relatively easy, short and family-friendly hike. And the picnic area near the trailhead makes a great post-hike snack spot set in a rocky, shady forest.

If you’re into a little hike I recommend the balsam nature trail that you can access from the parking lot at the top.
