Miro Tea

I wandered upon this place just strolling Ballard Ave with a friend from Brooklyn, and we both had the same sentiment that it was as if this joint were displaced from the Big Apple--its stylish clean yet comfortable decor was reminiscent of the trendy shops you'd find there. Miro boasts more than an incredible list of beautiful loose teas for sale: what really moved me were the exotic mocktails they had concocted out of different teas, and even food items with tea accents. The staff was super-friendly and eager to help us sample different teas and regale us information about them. It was the tea version of a wine tasting, really. All I can say is I wish there was one of these in my neighborhood on Queen Anne...I would be there every day!
