The Path of Tea
I wish there was a higher rating for this shop. Variety - over 120 organic only teas. I have never heard of so many of these teas. The lady told me so many things about tea and how it is produced. They have delicious pastries...the lemon curd cupcakes are to live for! As for artistry...WOW...my tea came in a beautiful glass teapot with a candle warming it. It was gorgeous to say the least. It glowed. I watched them make my tea...they had some fancy computerized pots that could have the temperature set for perfect brewing. I was allowed to pick my own cup from a great selection of special cups. They told me some of them were from Japan and once they opened when customers would travel to special places sometimes they would bring cups to add to the collection. They had some from Morroco, China, and Russia. That was such a nice touch. This shop is very Asian looking. They have a huge selection of ceramic teapots and some cast iron Japanese pots as well. It is decorated tastefully and it is obvious that much care was given to the decor. There is a fountain and mellow Asian music in the background. The only other place I have ever seen like this is in Japan. I watched people hurry in...take a deep breath...sniff some tea at the sniffing bar...and relax right before my eyes....just like I did. This is more than tea! This is lifestyle!
