The Pasadena location (two blocks west of Lake on Colorado Blvd across the Vroman's Bookstore) sells some of the best loose-leaf teas in town (try their Herbal Chai (caffeine free)) and has the BEST service. This lady is very knowledgeable about her teas and tea sets. Everyday she brews up a different tea, and lets you sample it. I've never seen the kind of variety of tea sets anywhere else. From the typical British tea set, to celadon Japanese tea sets this place has it all. I've purchased two sets from this place, and they're both cherished items. If you break a cup or wish to order one or two more, they'll put them on order call you when they come in. Learn the Chinese, Japanese, British, and Yerba Mate tea history/ceremony from their website or right at the store. A serious tea house for serious tea drinkers.
Pros: Knowledgeable Service, Tea Variety/Quality, Excuisite Tea Sets
