In Short
The East Bay meets the Far East with this Zen-like shop featuring more than 65 fresh, seasonal, hand-chosen artisanal whole-leaf teas. The interior, with its skylight and circular tasting bar inlaid with fossils and semi-precious stones, sets the perfect mellow tone for enjoying a tea flight. The menu reads like a wine list, with flavor profiles and aging notes. Tea chocolates, pastries, teaware and accessories also are sold. Ask about classes, clubs and special events.
