Had a question on what teas we served, when we were open, and where to find them.
Most of our teas came from Metroplitan Tea, which is a wholesaler, but you can find resellers here: https://www.metrotea.com/about-metropolitan-tea/find-a-metz-seller/ and Elwood Inn Fine Teas that will sell directly : https://www.elmwoodinn.com/
Here is our tea menu. We used the same names as the resellers, so you don't have to guess.
