This store is like a dream come true for a tea drinker. Though they sell a lot of cool trinkets and accessories for acceptable prices, Tea is the #1 reason to go here. When I stopped by, they were sampling two unsweetened iced teas, one Assam and one fruity tangy tisane. My wife liked the tisane and I loved the Assam.
The loose teas for sale are out in translucent jars (they keep the bulk wrapped up near the back) through which you can view them and ask for a.. um, sniffing. They're not behind some unreachable counter - you can inspect to your heart's content.
Their selection was nothing to sneer at, though a bit lacking in Japanese Green Teas. They even have some very hard to find teas which I've heard of but never seen in a retail shop. I immediately snatched two of these fabled teas (QuanZhou milk oolong, Huang Shan Huang Ya) which they allow you to buy a single ounce of - almost unheard of in a retail tea shop. Even picked up a weird tibetan mini tuo-cha tea cake for $1.50.
Though I get a little unnerved with glass jars, the leaves I bought smelled VERY fresh and delicious. I suggest that you bring your tea canisters (or buy some for ~3-5$) or you may go home like I did with ziploc bags.
The sales clerk that I met was also knowledgable about tea in general and was able to answer most of the questions I had about their selection.
Best tea store experience I've had hands-down!
