The teenager who was there didn't know the first thing about teas and pretty much just spent the whole time surfing the web. Very disappointing on that score... But, I just took my time and sniffed just about every tea in the store. \n\nHOWEVER, the teas themselves.... OMG- I spent a little over an hour just trying each one. All the samples were very fresh- whoever is normally there cares about the store and the setup. I had picked 12 teas that I narrowed down to a final 5. Now they are a little expensive- between $5.50-$9.00 per 50g bag- but the quality was very evident. I spent $33 total with tax(but really only $23 because of the Groupon). \n\nThey don't decaffinate their teas, but they had a very generous selection of herbal and Rooibos teas that gave me tons of options to try. This is what I got:\n\nPeach Brandy XO- $6.25- Black tea with peaches and brandy essence- moderate caffine\nFortune Cookie- $6.30- Green tea with with coconut and almods- low caffine\nSome Enchanted Evening- $8.85- White tea with blackcurrant, huckleberry and wildberry- very low caffine\nWeekend in Vermont- $5.70- Rooibos, honeybush, maple, vanilla and maple sugar- no caffine\nCherries Jubilee- $6.35- Hibiscus, rosehips, apple, dried cherries and natural sour cherry flavor- no caffine\n\nAnd- as a double plus bonus, if you make a purchase, you get a free 16oz cup of iced tea. The flavor they had today was prickly pear herbal tea. VERY good."^^ . "0"^^ . "0"^^ . . . "4"^^ . "2"^^ .
