That would be the Penn Market branch of Teaism. It's actually 2 shops
next door to each other. My wife and I were in DC recently for a long
weekend. We used the Teaism restaurant/tearoom a few times and pretty
much loved it: the tea, the food, the atmosphere. The tea shop
proper, though, I'm not sure about. All we did there was buy 2 ounces
of a Yunnan black, which seemed unimpressive at the price they charged.
