Having discussed the severe lack of good tea in this area, Jitesh and I had decided that we needed to go out and search for a great tea house. A large variety of the tea houses tended towards frilly old English style complete with lace and reservations required. Not really our style. Looking for places on Yelp, I found the Samovar Tea Lounge which had a location in the Castro District, about half way between our apartments. Success!
There was a bike rack directly outside, which is always a plus for us. Jitesh was waiting for us in the outdoor seating area, also a bonus. While very busy, it did not take long to be seated and suddenly we were on our fancy tea adventure.
