The Teacup
I like this shop for it's variety of tea and usually find some interesting teas here when I come for a visit to Seattle. The servers know their tea and offer advise on selection and finding similar teas to what you like from other locales and regions. Their prices are good and they offer a reasonable selection of teaware. The tea drinking space is limited but they offer wi-fi and is a cute place to come and spend a morning reading and sipping through a pot of tea. I recommend you visit this shop when in Seattle Queen Anne hilltop region.

Floating Leaves Tea
When I visit Seattle this is one tea shop I love to stop in at. It's in the Ballard area and offers a place to relax in a room decorated in a stylish contemporary oriental mix. The owner is from Taiwan and their specialty is Taiwan Oolongs primarily, offering some outstanding quality and value oolong selections. They also offer some black and green teas. You place your order at the counter and then find a table. They bring the tea to you as soon as they can, with a timer. They offer tea by the cup or pot. You can also just come in and buy loose tea to take home. They are friendly and a joy to visit. They have some teaware for sale. I rated their food on this rating form but I don't recall there being food offered. So the rating reflects the tea instead. I highly recommend this shop for tea and especially for oolongs.
