Vital Tea Leaf, San Francisco

I could have sworn I had written up this spot as it's been a few years since I visited, but it left a solid impression, and I've been happily spreading the word. Hunter, our guide, is a MASTER of tea. He also happens to be a master of sales. Knowledge, warmth, great presentation, passion, engaging. I left with a lot more tea than I thought I would, and it was a highlight of my San Francisco adventures. If you like, love, or are simply curious about tea, make a point of stopping in.

wow I loved this place! we went here for a free tea tasting and we learned so much here! The tea was awesome and we had a really nice lady who prepared it for us, explaining everything and answering our questions. We took a little bag of "ox root" tea and some oolong tea with us and it was a real highlight. I would highly recommend a visit.
