Huge earl grey tea fan--my tea kryptonite! I also love silver needle jasmine (yikes! expensive!), the occasional green, and various chai teas. I'll drink almost any black tea. I'm prejudiced against fruit-teas--it's basically hot unsweetened juice?--but every once in a while I'll find one that's absolutely amazing as an iced tea, so I love getting sampler packs. When I'm not geeking out over tea, I'm geeking out over books, cozy blankets, and gardening, so I'm basically a tall hobbit.

Clockwork Rose Tea Emporium
Worth every penny! This themed tea-room (half steam-punk, half fandom) is a well-designed and whimsical experience. It's very popular--book a month in advance to get a reservation! The tea selection is extensive, too. I'm an Earl Grey fan, so I got the London Fog tea while I was there (not to be confused with London Fog Lattes)--it did not disappoint! And the food! Oh my goodness, the food was superb. Perhaps too much food, even. You can walk in half-starved and yet still won't be able to finish the multiple tea sandwiches, pastries, and desserts brought out on three-tier serving tray.

Lisa's Tea Treasures
I love this tea shop! My mom has been taking me here since I was a little girl. The little sandwiches and pastries provided are delicious and the tea is wonderful. There's a gift shop, to satisfy all your tea-related shopping, and the decor is very high class. I can't begin to describe the flavorful wonder of Devonshire cream and the tea cookies, or how cute the little doilies and tea paintings on the walls are, or the variety of tea pots and cups and spoons...I've introduced Lisa's Tea in Campbell to family members (who all loved it), and I try to take my close friends there at least once. It's a fantastic experience. I highly recommend it!
