Food:  I was visiting Seattle and was delighted to find this charming tea retail store. They had a nice selection of loose-leaf teas which we were allowed to smell. They did have one kind of tea for us to sample - I would have liked a few more. They had a display of tea pots for sale ranging in styles from Victorian to Asian, along with many books and other tea accessories. The store was very quite and clean, but the workers weren't very helpful. They pretty much stayed behind the counter and didn't say a word to us, help us, or even smile. I was also dissapointed to not find any scone mixes or other 'high tea' goodies. |

Food: This shop has a lot of tea but as others point out it is stored in glass jars. The staff just let people open jars willy nilly with little guidance or direction. The main focus of the store seems to be teaware and teabags of which they have a nice selection. There are some tables for taking tea there as well. |

Tearoom Response
Thanks for coming to our shop, William.I'm sorry you did not get paid the personal attention you wanted on that visit - actually we make it a point to greet every customer who comes in the door and remind them they can ask if they have questions or need help. We do as you mentioned have a great selection of good teabags and teawares. We also have a great selection of loose teas and tisanes. We order from about 17 different companies each of whom does something completely different - one for example specializes in small garden China greens. Thanks for mentioning the tables. We now brew up any tea in the house when it is not busy. |
