If yo...Sometimes things just don't feel right. If you got a vibe that the tea itself was an afterthought, it might have been a true intuition, a gut feeling that reflected that truth. But it could be that your intuition is wrong.<br /><br />I've had that feeling in some shops...and in most cases those intuitions have been right, and the tea has been mediocre (and often overpriced).<br /><br />I do think that there is a wide range of aesthetics that a legitimate tea shop can have, ranging from the old, dark ones that you describe, to sleek, modern ones. But I think that the best tea shops will probably draw attention to the tea, as opposed to the decor. I think that both the old, dark look, and the new, sleek modern look, can both draw attention to the tea, if done properly.Alex Zorachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08335878680429494039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-367592979789930410.post-73221196119584576222010-08-11T21:59:26.533-07:002010-08-11T21:59:26.533-07:00I do agree with you, modern tea shops are not real...I do agree with you, modern tea shops are not really appealing to me.<br />I need to have "old" and old fashioned tins for tea.<br /><br />And Sir William of the Leaf, thanks for the picture.<br />I will have to look at it next time I go to Brussels.Xavierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01699548334964526846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-367592979789930410.post-69348842714314228262010-08-11T16:12:48.863-07:002010-08-11T16:12:48.863-07:00This is my kind of tea shop:
