Hard to believe it’s not listed already. Broad selection in-store, backed by even more options online, and the staff are very helpful and friendly.

I love that you can order a cup of any tea for a very reasonable price! Great teas, especially their Japanese greens. Highly recommend their “Masters Series.”

I highly recommend signing up for a tea tasting— for only $20 you get three free cups of tea for you and a friend plus $15 of store credit.

I’ve been here twice now, and the staff are super friendly. They give you free samples of things you want to taste. The store is also well laid out, and you can easily browse and grab tea bags, loose leaf, or boxes of teas you want to try.

I’m also a science-fiction and fantasy nerd, and they have a bunch of fun “fandom” blends, inspired by popular TV shows and video games. I never expected to have two of my interests—SF&F and tea—overlap like this, and I took great joy in trying some of the tea blends for “characters”. The saleswoman who assisted me confided that they have a lot of fun seeing which characters taste well blended together—which is too freaking cute. It’s kind of like celebrating and poking fun at shipping wars all in one. (I admit I picked up a “Sera” one, inspired by the character in Dragon Age. I also tasted “Dorian” and “Fenris”. ~_o )

But if you think that’s silly, rest assured that the rest of the store but that one corner has normal, non-fandom-inspired teas. :) I like the Thai Chai.

It was the middle of a weekday when I went in, so they weren’t busy. The manager made me like six sample cups of tea and was very nice and personable. The prices are reasonable (if not cheap) and they have a really large selection.

(Update 4/10/15) Went back again and had a lovely time. More free samples, more tea bought. The staff are super friendly even when the manager is NOT around. A very nice tea shop.

Really helpful and nice people! They are so willing to teach you more about tea and aren’t looking for a profit! I have had nothing but good experiences here!
