If you live in Seattle and ever get a hankering for a pot of tea out of your house, come to Miro! Located on N 22nd and Market, it's on the same block as a bunch of other treasures (Gifted, Carta de Oaxaca, Volterra).
My most recent stay was a few days ago. I wanted to get out to write a bit and it was, as usual, cold, misty, and grey out. I contemplated my regular spots before deciding to go for tea instead of coffee. I ordered a giant London Fog (definitely sated my earl grey addiction, and they have caffeine-free products!) and sat for two hours, undisturbed, reading, writing, and just hanging out. I never felt pushed to leave and my only qualm was that everything was kind of overpriced. But what are you gonna do... if I want to complain about overpriced teas, I should probably stay out of hip little shops and stay in my kitchen with my Costco combo packs.
Other perks: they have games, free wireless, gluten-free pastries and crepes, beautiful art, beautiful customers, beautiful baristas (what do you call a tea maker?) and a very wide selection of teas.
