Went in there yesterday with my younger brother, it’s welcoming. I had no idea Burien even had a tea shop, apparently it’s been there over a year. I met Brett and he made us a sample of lapsang souchong. It was good and he indulged me with lots of answers to my questions, they make samples for you and sell loose leaf for a good price. I’ll be going there more as I make the transition from bags to loose leaf.

I’m not a tea snob. Just a tea enthusiast bumbling around trying anything new. I try not to discriminate about tea types yet because I’ve not yet had the highest grade of anything, just bagged teas. So far I love black teas and the furthest I’ve ventured into green tea is a basic organic bagged green, various floral combinations which I love, especially jasmine,and bancha. I also love floral, fruity, herbal and medicinal teas. Haven’t tried any un flavored oolongs worth talking about. I haven’t tried white tea, pu-erh, yellow, or purple.

On my bucket list of black teas:
Tanyang gongfu, zhenghe gongfu, bailin gongfu (the fujian reds) jin + yin junmei, keemun, dian hong, yin de hong, jiu qu hong mei, tibeti, nepali, Sun moon lake, munnar, kangra, nilgiri, Darjeelimy

I also can’t wait to try a white silver needle tea.
