Can you give the approximate prices of the tea shoppe? My local tea
shoppe prices are basically $10/4oz for most and $10/2oz for a select
few. If they don't carry it I don't know what it is, puerh cake being
the only exception. Tea in 10oz pots for the premises is $3 for any
selection with one refill of hot water. The owner knows the pedigree
of the teas flush,estate,etc. Everybody else is clueless. There is a
limited English menu. I'd live there if there was a curry
sheepherder's pie. How come I can't buy curry pizza?
