Best of Philly

2012 Tea Shop

Premium Steap

EXPERT PICK: “This is my go-to loose-leaf tea shop for everything from a classic sencha green to a rare Taiwanese oolong. I love the tea-starter kit for novices; it comes with a tea strainer, measuring teaspoon and three two-ounce samples. And the loose-leaf sample packs are good for experimenting.” —Alexis Siemons, tea consultant and blogger, teaspoonsandpetals.com.
