This packaged mini-tea cake is the size of a chocolate chip cookie. Comprised of leaves from tea bushes grown in high altitude tea plantation, this tea offers full-bodied aromas with a hint of smokiness. After a couple of brews, the flavors of dried apricot and malt emerge. Uplifting, it is a perfect drink before you go to the gym or if you need to maintain your energy level in the mid-afternoon.

Carter C –
I’m a tea freak and am ever-so-happy that I have this place nearby to indulge my dependency. The staff are not the warmest people ever, but they know their tea and they always hook me up with some good stuff without aggressive sales tactics or up-sells like at Teavana. My fave teas (so far) from Tin Roof are the Assam Namdang and the Yunnan Pu-erh (great with milk or cream). The East Frisian Broken Blend is also good. Their Russian Samovar was a little weak for me, but I have the Russian Caravan now and it’s great (if you can handle a smoky and a more manly tea.) I’ve also found lovely Chinese and Japanese green teas here, and I recently picked up a Detox tea sampler, but haven’t had a chance to try it yet.
I never put any sugar in my tea and I tend toward the bitter and herbal flavors, but there are plenty of fruity teas and tisanes and blends here as well plus nice teapots, honey, and related gadgets. There is something for everyone!
