I love drinking tea, but it can be really intimidating to walk into a loose-leaf tea shop like this. I appreciate that they give me the option of just buying a cup (hot or iced) of any tea they sell. That way I can treat myself to some excellent, interesting tea without the commitment. I usually walk out of tea stores empty handed bc I feel like "The instructions for making this are too specific, and I know I won't do it right. I should just stick with the bagged tea from the super market."
