Coolest tea shop. I found this place on CS and was intrigued so I made the trip there, and I'm so happy I did. Hayman (the owner?) was so informative and fun about the teas he had. This is not a showy place from the outside - the show is all on the inside and most of it put on at the gorgeous tea tasting table! The teas are lovely (I tried a new kind - rose and osmanthus(sp?)) and I was taught how to really brew and treat the tea as well. I don't know a lot about tea but I didn't feel intimidated and while I was in there someone came in who was looking for a very rare tea and Hayman had it and rattled of all sorts of info - there is something for everyone. If you like tea or want to learn more, go here...or just go to see that guy at work. I never knew tea tasting could be so interesting.
