I just recently started to be all about tea. Especially since i have quit drinking soda all together. To kick the craving I needed a nice, healthy replacement, and this place certainly helped me do it! The owner is so kind and welcoming, and the teas here are absolutely delicious. I always try to stop by the daily tea table when I am here to try a new flavor. I have been here twice already and am so completely satisfied with my purchases. I have never been to Teavana, and I don't think I will ever go. Not as long as this place is open.
I also love that there is a "commune-tea wall" where local businesses can put their business card up for others to view. I have gained some clients thanks to that beautiful little shop.
Stop over spending for your tea, and go here! You will not be disappointed! I recommend Shakespeare's Garden!
