| - Chakra 4 is most likely the best place in town for tea, tea infusions and herbal desires. While I've never eaten at the cafe, the treats and plates always look yum. The dried herbal goods are very reasonably priced. The extracts are a little on the pricey side, but being the best place to find obscure things, it makes sense. The actual tea (camellia sinensis - not herbal infusions) leaves (pun not intended!) a bit to be desired. I can respect that there is actually a decent selection of teas in store, but the broadness of them leaves a picky tea aficionado like myself less than impressed (that's why I give Chakra 4 four stars instead of five). Green tea goes much deeper than "Green Tea", as does Darjeeling, white, oolong, black.
If you are in need of something in town, this is the place to go (for instance, I needed some herbs for a tea remedy today - I could not wait). If you want to talk to a knowledgeable, friendly person, this is the place for you. If you are looking for strange and highest quality estate teas, you won't find a place in Phoenix...move somewhere else.
