| - Anyone ever seen The Dark Crystal? Apparently, all of the characters who wouldn't set out to eat or dismember you decided to get together and share their passion for tea and organic architecture. Chairs, tables, window surrounds, and the like shaped out of random pieces of wood and fabric. Door handles formed out of scrap wood. Windows flung wide into the open air and, subsequently, crushing humidity and heat (at times) of Ohio in the summer. Quirky as all-get-out, but fun. Apparently, there's free wireless, but I couldn't imagine sitting in the store and fiddling with my Mac in the heat of the last couple of weeks. There are times when I'm dang thankful for air conditioning - this store might be close to perfect if that was an implemented feature, but perhaps that's merely one of its attributes that I'm missing the "wonderful" quality of.
We had the iced tea, brewed strong enough to be akin to chewing green tea while sniffing mint, but it was refreshing in the midst of the hot afternoon. There appeared to be a pretty fun selection of fresh fruit, pastries, and dried fruit available, along with a ton of hot teas that I'll need to come back on a cold day to try.
Definitely fun and different, and the friendly guy working behind the counter didn't resemble Aughra, a Skeksis, or a Gelfling in the slightest.
