I too have rather mixed feelings about this tea shop. They do have a large variety of teas, but a lot of them seem to be repackaged from Adagio at a markup with the exception of the owner's personal herbal health tea blends. I did manage to snag an out of production kettle I wanted, but this store definitely seems to cater more to the health-nut tea enthusiast than the average tea drinker.

I had mixed feelings about this store because it's AWESOME in terms of variety and they carry tons of rare herbs that I can't find for my teas elsewhere without ordering online. They also have a variety of interesting and useful teaware of all types, which I really appreciate.
They are, however, on the more expensive side and I couldn't justify being a regular there with how much it costs compared to other tea and herbal retailers. Also a suggestion for their shop would be to list the prices of each herb and tea. I had to literally ask the guy at the counter about the price of each individual thing I was interested in, and he had to text his boss to ask. That was a little annoying and I didn't want to be annoying and ask him about a bunch of different things (but they were expensive, so I wasn't just gonna buy it without knowing the price), so I unfortunately just bought one thing and left. That's a pretty major problem for enticing customers to buy things if they can't even figure out what they can afford.
But if money's no object, it's a shop worth stopping at. They definitely have an interesting, unique, and wide variety.
