| - I stopped by here and sampled the White Ayurvedic Chai + Samurai Mate they had displayed right out the door, and wow best tasting, refreshing tea I had. You'll be hooked and will be forking over alot of your pocketbook once you try a sample drink.
Positives:
*Nice selection of Green, Red, Black, and Herbal tea concoctions
*Their blends are very aromatic
*Instructions on brewing tea temps/times are accurate so your tea does not end up bitter, weak,or too strong.
*Staff helpful and knowledgeable about their product & health benefits on the various teas.
*Store carries everything you need to steep or brew your tea.
Negs
*They do up sell and can be pretty slick. you can get carried away real fast after sampling and sniffing the teas. I think I spent over $100 the first time. It was worth it though.
*When I was a first time buyer they insisted I needed their huge tin container, buy the pound of tea because you get a discount. etc....in hindsight I wish hadn't bought the large tin, they are too big and take up so much counter space. Better off just using canisters /kitchen containers you can find elsewhere. 1 pound is alot of tea and will probably last you awhile, but take into consideration that shell life/freshness of various teas are different. That's why I prefer to buy loose leaf teas in smaller batches (ie 2oz or 4oz)
*As a repeat customer, it never fails, I ask for 4 oz ..salesperson always throws in at least $3 or more worth to that...not a big deal if I was buying 1 type of tea..but it sure adds up if you are buying 4 or more different blends. Ive learned to be more firm and stick with just getting the amount that I come for.
*You will get addicted and become a tea snob .
As a whole, Ive had positive experiences shopping at the location.
