I don’t like this place. I’ve walked in a couple of times and it feels like a great big warehouse. The window is always stuffed full of tea junk. It just doesn’t feel inviting. It’s too bad, because they’re in a great place to develop a strong following. I’m sure they sell retail tea (because they’ve been there a few years now), but I can buy tea anywhere. Having looked at their teas, I suspect they, too are making their own blends from the same old teas distributed by one company in Canada.

Pretty pleased with this store. There are local ceramics, cutesy ceramics, honeys, chocolates made with tea, other knickknacks, and then the tea itself. What I tried is all pretty decent quality at very reasonable prices. I mostly tried herbal/fruit teas and flavoured blacks. Not much that’s super duper fancy, but definitely a worthwhile alternative to the flavoured teas from Teavana or DavidsTea. The person working when I went in dealt with 4 of us and our ridiculous lists. We each ended up with about 5 teas, and we felt welcome to sit at the tables and divvy everything up.
