70
Score
Across the available record, Green Tea has 24 inspections on file, the first dated 2022. On Feb 23, 2026, the health department conducted the most recent visit. Medium risk typically reflects a handful of issues that inspectors wrote up but didn't deem critical.
Things have been moving in the right direction, with the rolling count dropping from around eight violations to closer to four violations per visit.
The pattern that stands out is “food stored on floor”, which has been cited nine times.
By comparison, the average Port Richey facility scores 80, putting Green Tea on the weaker side. Taken together, the history looks like that of a busy facility working through the usual inspection cycle.
