Review content:
First of all, the map service is wrong and will send you to 14th and John - this is 15th and Harrison. Just had to say that because we got lost (should've written down the address, duh). But this place is amazing, great for groups and a very fun atmosphere. \r
\r
The Staff:\r
The owner and staff are very friendly, helped us with tea selections, etc. They gave us milk and extra cups when we asked.\r
\r
The Ambiance/Crowd:\r
It was low-key but fun, lovely green paint with earthy electronic background music and nice lighting. They have lots of tables plus a really fun low table with big white cushion-chairs that they call marshmellows. This is great for a group like we had, plus we all shared tea quite easily. In this area you'll find interesting books and magazines as well.\r
\r
The Teas and Food:\r
150 organic teas - if you are an organic gourmet, you know this is pretty stunning. To find 150 is a big number for organic teas and most places merely mix in a few blends so they get the organic name. The teas are excellent, they have the usual selection plus a lot of unusual blends like #62 Black Satin - a black tea with a caramel flavor, our favorite of the evening. They have a great Macarina bakery ""Budapest tea bread"" that is slightly sweet, plus vegan treats, salads, cookies, etc.\r
\r
They have organic wines, beers and tea infused cocktails. I wasn't drinking that night (sadly, because an Earl Grey mimosa called to me). They also have a nice selection of tea related gifts, like strainers, cups, kettles and even tea incense. All of it is classy and attractive. I saw some kids toys as well, so I think it could be good for kids during the day. \r
\r
Highly recommended!
Pros: Lighting, music, parking, teas, service
