TeaTime LLC immerses tongues in rich tea flavors with a selection of over 100 blends of gourmet steepables. Visitors can reward their noses for successfully smelling suspicious next-door neighbors with the aromatic Bengal chai ($9), a black-tea broth with flavor-notes of black pepper and ginger. Hints of fruit and flowers waft from the acai-berry white tea ($13.80), and piquant citrus singes the pan-fired leaves of the tangerine green tea ($9.80). The fragrant store’s tea tastings allow guests to invite family, friends, and favorite mailmen along to try up to five blends, expertly steeped at precise degrees by staffers. While sampling ambrosial pots, a brief lesson elucidates the tea’s history and its many potential health benefits. The brightly lit store is lined with warm wooden shelves, drawers, and counters, which seem to grow out of the polished hardwood floors, bearing fruits, bags of tea, and jars of loose leaves.
