Tea Market
I also agree with the others. And just so it's known, I did not stumble across these reviews until after I had visited the store, so I was not biased. When I walked in the door, the owner was on a personal phone call that extended well into my visit. When I was finally greeted, I could sense her high and mighty attitude. Although it was a cute shop to peruse, and there was an adequate selection of teas, the prices were outrageous! I understand that store owners need to cover their overhead costs, and their products will therefore be more expensive than online stores, but good grief! The English Breakfast at Tea Market is priced at $3.00 per ounce. I usually purchase my tea through the Harney and Sons website. They sell English Breakfast for $19.00 per pound, which is $1.19 per ounce. Depending on how much stuff I buy, I either pay $4.50 or $5.50 for shipping. Like I said, it was a nice little store to wander around in, but I don't believe I will return for a purchase.
