I have never really had this problem, but then mostly I have gone in and
known what I was looking for to begin with.

I will say that the staff at the Ten Ren in Rockville, MD. does seem to
have more folks that actually know about tea than the people at the one
in NYC. But I have not found either store rude.

Often overpriced, yes. But they do have some excellent teas at reasonable
prices if you are careful to make sure you get the grade you want.
