the tea gallery n nyc

[jpr54_]

i was n nyc today wth my son and his fiancee-

it was extremely hot outsde-

we needed to rest for a few minutes and also to have some tea, etc-

i had heard so many nice things about the tea galley-

we were less than impressed with this tea shop-

the owner was rude and not very friendly-

we wanted some tea-none was oferred to us-we were told that we could have a tea tasting at $24.95 a person-

we left and will not return-

I'm not in New York and am not familiar with this place, but I'm not really understanding your post. From their website it appears to be a tea store, not a tea room. Do they normally serve tea and refused to serve you?

I've been to several places here in Vancouver, and while they usually offer a tea sample, they don't always offer. I don't view it as something that's due me just for walking in the store so I'm not overly upset if I don't get one.

As I said, I'm not familiar with this place and from their website it appears that it's a store that offers tasting classes, not a tea room. Am I wrong?

I post on several websites-

the one website which contained responses to my questions was on

http://groups.google.com/group/rec.food.drink.tea/topics

i thought that responses were interesting and also gave some insight into the tea shop arena
