Hi, I'm Joanne's son...thought that I would add some comments about
our experience.

I have been to a number of tea shops in New York City, New Jersey, and
elsewhere.

I was surprised by our experience at "The Tea Gallary".

First, it was a very very hot day. We stopped by around 1pm, and it
looked like he was just opening the store. So we were hot and tired.

The store was not air conditioned well. We were not offered anything
to drink. We asked to have a cup of tea. We were told that they
don't serve cups of tea.

Then we were told that we could do a tasting for $24. It was a little
bit strange. He wasn't very enthusiastic about serving us.

I wandered around the store for a little bit, it was cute, but
disorganized. I had trouble figuring out what tea was for sale.

I think there might have been a little bit of a cultural barrier. He
didn't seem to understand why we were annoyed.
