Check it out. Isabella got herself the largest, most delicious iced tea at our fancy ladies tea today. It was seriously as big as a Big gulp, only far superior.
Mariage Freres makes some of the nicest teas I've found and the place is beautiful I have posted the pictures I have from tea on flickr, but I want to go back and take some shots of the shop, too. IT's like stepping into a 1930's spy movie. I kept waiting to be passed some kind of instructions for my next mission, but alas none came.
There are huge wood shelving units behind the counter, where all the tea is stored in giant tins. The staff, all men as far as I've seen except for the cashier, wear white linen suits, white button downs and white bow ties. They measure out your tea to order, hand you a slip from which the cashier rings you up and then gives you your tea. So nicely done!
Next time, we will go in the morning, so the caffeine has time to work its way out and not keep us up until 1am!!
