Food:  This is my favorite tea shop anywhere. Just about anything I know about tea I learned fro the Teacup. They have amazing bulk teas and make a perfect tea latte. |

Food:  This place rocks. The tea is excellent but the real strength is the staff coupled with a great tasting policy. I always go when I know it will be quiet so that I can taste a bunch of new teas - and the staff are great guides. Tell them what your current favorites are and they will select several that they think you may also like - and tell you exactly why. I have bought tea in many shops - and occasionally find a one somewhere else and have to buy it but I always come back to the teacup. |

Food: This cozy neighborhood joint isn't about tea as spectacle. It's Ground Zero for Pugetopolis tea geeks. I don't go there for 'food' or 'artistry,' just for great big pots of hundreds of outstanding teas, at very reasonable prices, perfectly and simply prepared. Think of it as a sort of...American Zen. See the tea. Be the tea. It is small, sometimes noisy and bustling, sometimes quite placid, but always a 'hoody atmosphere, even though the 'hood is the Queen Anne district. Most business is in-and-out bulk tea buying. The menu assumes you know about tea...and if you don't, not only the staff but patrons as well will be happy to coach you through your questions and explorations. Fear not!, for I've never been to a tearoom with a more liberal and friendly tasting policy. Or a greater love of the leaf. Or greater sheer enjoyment of tea. Not tea as discourse, words, explanations. Tea as something for YOU to drink, savor, enjoy, explore, and embody, in line with your tastes, preferences, and experiences. |
