@Leucrotta I take it it'd just be like, on a shelf somewhere like the coffee is?

@Leucrotta From our own websearches there's a Golden Tea Shop by 12th St. BART but they only do Chinese tea, and there's a place called Far Leaves up in Berkeley but they're expensive. Like $13 for 2 ounces expensive. Ouch.

Definitely gonna have to check out that Ten Ren!

@Leucrotta ...huh, maybe $13 for 2.25 ounces isn't ridiculous after all.

Ten Ren has darjeeling in a beautiful tin, $18 for 2.6oz / 75g.

@frost Yeah there should be like a batch of shelves with tea and coffee and insulated travel mugs, stuff like that

3200 College Ave, Berkeley, CA 94705 is the one nearest where I used to live

@Leucrotta ooh neat! Gonna have to check that one out if our usual doesn't have tea.

The one we usually go to is the one on the east side of Lake Merritt, the Grand Lake District I think it's called. Says "LAKESHORE" in the front top window glass. :3 They're open until 8 which is really nice!

@Leucrotta Or I might just hit up Tenren because wow, those tins are pretty.

I hope they take food stamps 'cause that'll be expensive.

@Leucrotta ...hell. I hope Peets takes food stamps for dry stuff bought in store. They might not because they're primarily a café.

@Leucrotta oooh Ten Ren has lapsang souchong! Ive been wanting to try that out for a while.

@frost it's sort of um, mesquite grilled tea - it's got a really particular flavor, so you might want to buy as little of it as possible until you know for sure you like it.

@Leucrotta Ooh, interesting. :3

@Leucrotta There would be a 0.5oz bag for $2.50, which would be perfect, but the website says out of stock.

@Leucrotta ...Honestly I wonder if we should order tea online instead of trying to find a shop... everyone else seems to do online, and it'd probably be way cheaper. Downside of course is shipping, and I don't know if food stamps work online.
