I worked at a Tealuxe for a bit in Providence, their teas are okay; the
best I thought were the Dragon Pearl Jasmine (ask to see and smell the
hand-rolled balls of tea) and the frozen blended Matcha Miracle
(Matcha--pulverized green tea--, ice, simple syrup, and milk or soy milk:
not traditional at all but DEEElicious!) I am sort of a tea enthusiast, but
everybody else who worked there, to a lesser or greater degree, seemed to
take it as just a bill-paying job and not really be in it for the tea... In
Cambridge try "Tea Tray in the Sky", a serious tea cafe. I hear it is quite
good. Anyway maybe the Tealuxes in Cambridge are different. Best of luck.
P.S. If anybody from that Tealuxe is actually on this board and is reading
this, the fact that you are on here totally proves me wrong about your level
of dedication and I apologize for slighting you....

P.S. My best tea source is www.harney.com try it, you won't be
disappointed. They supply half of the best hotels in the U.S. but are very
cool guys, and humble too.
