Welcome to our store and tasting room.

tasting roomWe are here to teach you as much as we can about tea. The purpose of the tasting room is to try teas which will not only broaden your understanding of the tea world but encourage you to purchase some tea for your own consumption.

Walking into the tasting room, we welcome you to taste our "Teas on Tap." These teas we've chosen to highlight will expand your tea knowledge, as well as allow you to experience teas that you may not have otherwise tried.

In addition to our "Teas on Tap" we also welcome customers to taste one tea of their choice. This allows you a taste of that special tea you've been wanting to try. Our tea consultants are available to help you decide what that tea is based on your palate and needs.

We hope you enjoy your experience tasting teas, shopping and a bite to eat. We keep this blog updated with any upcoming events, new teas, and most current menu so check back with us periodically to discover something new!

Why we don't use tea balls...


Hello tea people!

We just got a new shipment of Ti Quan Yin - Spring Floral tea in the shop. We tasted it against the Traditional Ti Quan Yin that we already had in stock and the difference is amazing. They're both delicious, but for different reasons. We welcome you to come taste the difference in our tasting room this weekend.

We also took this opportunity to share with you why we prefer to use infuser baskets rather than the more widely known tea ball or tea spoon infusers. For full-leaf tea, the size of the leaves can drastically increase with steeping. We believe that the flavors that emerge when allowing the leaves to freely mix with the water are unbeatable.

Hope to see you this weekend to taste the difference for yourself!
