If you're a tea-lover living in Pittsburgh, this place is a must-visit. They're a total triple-threat, hitting everything a good tea shop needs:
1) A well-curated selection of quality teas spanning a broad range of styles, preferences, and price points.
2) Knowledgeable and enthusiastic people in the store who will be glad to help you out.
3) All the stuff (physical and informational) a beginner would need to get started switching from big brand tea bags to loose-leaf delights.
And, as a special bonus, they make some of their own tea blends in house, many of which are excellent (the Game of Thrones inspired Dornish Wine Tea makes for an unusual but delicious iced tea when the weather's hot). They also have teas that are great for blending yourself at home (one of my favorite combinations is an Assam tea with a little bit of the rose-flavored black tea sprinkled in). If you're looking for a reasonably priced treat that doesn't take extra effort or a sense of adventure, the green jasmine pearls are excellent.
