Teaism Tea Shop Edit

I’d love to rate Teaism higher, but they are rather expensive, and their selection is somewhat limited. The tea choices end up being somewhat stagnant, but what they do offer is good quality. It’s my go to for Vithanakande since I can’t seem to find that anywhere else nowadays. They do get special, pricier shipments in from time to time, but you have to be on their VIP list and drop everything to get there before they sell out. Teaism also offers 2 fantastic Korean green teas, Joonjak and Saejak, which are must-tries for green tea devotees.

The markup on products I can get cheaper at 10 other places is annoying, their tea selection is rather small for a tea shop, and their staff is hit and miss both in terms of helpfulness and knowledge.

The Teaism shop has a nice variety of loose leaf teas. The staff is very nice and helpful. You may order products through the website or contact the store and have them shipped to you. The store has a nice selection of tea literature, artisan pottery and accessories, unique tea pots and very attractive Asian tea canisters in addition to a regular selection of more widely commercially available tea accoutrements. It is not the least expensive place to shop but it is well worth a visit.
