The selection is truly impressive and it includes Asian teas which I really appreciate. If you want a taste of Kyoto in Pittsburgh, stop by Gryphon's! I can't wait to make my way through the list of teas offered here.

The friendly woman at the counter assisted us in making our decision and was very pleasant and chatty. She never made us feel rushed or foolish for asking questions. We ordered some hot tea to-go and also purchased some tea to brew at home, all of which was delicious. We will definitely be returning soon!

The staff is friendly and the tea is amazing. The London fog is particularly delicious, with a gray taste that is subtly spicy and citric or lemony. It leaves you trying to identify the flavors, and has a thick body. The staff is very knowledgeable and always have new blends to recommend. They are passionate about tea and can talk about it for a long time.

They need way more good press because not enough people know they exist. I will never go back to grocery store bought tea. And if they ever close a part of my soul will die.
