SCRUMPTIOUS TEA! this was a perfect rest and reboot stop for a day filled with walk and exploration. The Barista was so kind, passionate about tea (knew her stuff) and brewed me the perfect cup of kukicha tea. It's nice that many of the tea varieties have samples you can smell as well.

So much variety and the tea is delicious. I picked up a winter jam and peach black tea, the winter jam is almost gone. The scent is as amazing as the taste. Helpful staff, and a relaxing shopping experience. I look forward to returning the next time I'm in the city.
