With it's clean style and quality tea, qualiTea if you will, Arnold's Tea is helping to bring some much needed class to the North Side. But my question is, who is Arnold and why did he want to show Pittsburgh that he could build a tea house? Did he actually like tea that well? Did he decide that other people liked tea that well? Was it some experiment to see how well he could excel in a venture like this? It seems like it will always be a mystery to me. He wasn't even there when I was there. It was just two ladies working. Which brings me to some new questions. Who were they and why were they so dedicated to making me my rooibos iced tea?
I will never know the answers to Arnold's secrets. What I Do know is that he created a very nice environment in which to relax or work while enjoying the tea he is offering. Also he created a very nice selection of tea to enjoy while sitting on a massive leather couch in his wood-laden parlor. I see a bright future for the North Side and it looks a lot like Arnold's Tea.
