This is a great shop where the staff and owners really know their teas. They freely taste and share and explain the origins. The focus is on tea and they specialize in Taiwanese teas. Their oolongs are varied and the ones I tasted are fantastic. They carry limited quantities of the better teas so you never know what you'll find. Go in there when you are not in a rush and ppreapre to learn a lot

The shop is not called Seattle's Best Tea, it is 'Seattle Best Tea'. It is a very Chinatown sort of shop, which is nice in its own way, but I am often offended at how they talk about the other tea shops in town. I don't think they are competitors, they all have different tea. This makes it difficult to enjoy a cup of tea here. The teas range from excellent (this season's surprising Da Yu Ling) to extremely poor (all of the Japanese teas and less expensive oolongs). Their focus seems to be on Taiwanese oolongs. The tea wares seem cheap and poorly made in general. More gaiwans and less sharing pitchers would make the tea preparation seem a bit more professional.
