Located at the opposite corner of Beacon and Murray Aves from the other tea place I had visited earlier, this place has no particular theme to it.\n\nThey serve your tea in paper cups whether you want it cold or hot. The server let me actually sample some of them before deciding. They had an apple cider tea which is a holiday special and it tasted like apple cider. He had a plum and berry tea so when I sampled that I could taste the sweetness. I ordered a cup of that and sat down. I noticed that they offer free WiFi. They are noted for the grilled cheese paninis but they also serve various kinds of sushi. In addition there were dessert offerings as well.\n\nI was very impressed with my tea and definitely wanted to buy some to take home. He normally sells it in bags but I saw a cute Japanese girl tin and asked about how many ounces that would hold. He measured it and told me around 3. I decided to go with that. My 3 ounces came to around $6-$7.00 max and he gave me instructions on how to successfully brew it and how long to leave it in my tea cup to infuse. He wrote it down for me. I thanked him very much and told him I would return.\n\nHe showed me plain teapots that had infusers built in them for a reasonable price but since I already have an infuser I didn't really need it. If I had more of an appetite I would have tried the sushi but that will be on my list when I return here. I was extremely pleased that such a plain establishment would let you sample and serve great tea at reasonable prices."^^ . "4"^^ . .
