In Short – Making something as subdued as tea into a trendy phenomenon isn't easy. But after rave reviews from celebs like Courtney Cox and Meg Ryan, who've reportedly used tea to lose weight, business is buzzing at this quiet WeHo enclave. Dozens of shiny silver canisters line the walls of the hallowed sanctuary where orange-smocked staff members mix and measure just the right amount of herbs into each and every cup or kettle.

Rip off

Shipping rates are overpriced. Excessive "flat rate" to send anything, $26 to Canada for a single box of tea. Poor customer care/service due to price gouging.

Very cool, peaceful, great tea, great customer service, beautiful garden
by grendlekitty
I have nothing bad to say about this place, the interior is beautiful, both the patrons and customer service reps were unusually friendly and helpful. The outdoor tables feel very secluded and private with a peaceful environment. The tea was amazing-I recommend getting the endless teapot as you can refill your tea with hot water as often as you'd like, and if you don't know what you want, the employees make great recommendations.
- Pros: peaceful, great for groups, private, great tea, great customer service
- Cons: parking on weekends
