While living in Ann Arbor, I became addicted to the Tea Haus. My advisor and housemate hooked me on tea as a great drink for studying, writing, and working. I've also come to appreciate Teavana in 12 Oaks, although it's more expensive than Tea Haus.

I recently purchased a beautiful teapot from Claire at the Bureau of Urban Living, and matching mugs from BX Ceramics at City Bird. It has been wonderful to enjoy tea during summer mornings, or to brew a pot and sip as I work [[or, as when I'm posting to DYes, take a break from what I'm writing in another window).

Are there any Detroit businesses that sell looseleaf teas? I'll go by Eastern Market today and do some nosing around. Better yet, with all the indie coffeehouses springing up, does anyone else believe that a tea house might work in the city?

[[I feel as if there is [[or was) a teahouse in Corktown, SW Detroit, or Delray, but I can't remember if they're still open.)
