Tealeaves Tea Tasting Bar

My spouse and I were in town for the Shakespeare Festival in September. I had researched Stratford Tea Leaves online and chose it as a destination based on the proprietors’s tea knowledge and tea selection.
We arranged a tea tasting, which should be booked in advanced. Minimum of two people required for a tasting. Karen Hartwick, the proprietor and tea sommelier, arranged a great hour long mini course on six different teas. She explained the teas, just the right amount of background, and hints during the tasting. She let us lead with our impressions during the tasting, and then provided her input. It was such a great way to really enjoy the depths and nuances of the range of teas. We came to find out that Ms. Hartwick is called upon by many of the local food establishments to educate staff and provide input on tea pairings.
We purchased tea from her which is reasonably priced for the quality. She has many tea accessories for purchase as well.
Well worth the visit for everyone from a casual tea drinker to those with a more refined knowledge of tea.
