I have found a MOST useful site that directs you to tea rooms and tea suppliers in the USA:

We were directed to it by Sarah and Brad, the owners of FANCY THAT, a tea room in Brockton MA.  Lovely people, nice to chat with.

Greetings! 

I have been working hard on a steampunk theme project! 55 days in the making and over 130 hours spent finding tea to offer!

A friend of mine (knowing my interest in the bizarre) directed me to a pottery site on facebook called https://www.facebook.com/graftonpottery and I found some delightful pieces, some of which are accentuated by found objects.  My question to you steampunk tea drinkers is: have you ever encountered this with some of the more exotic teas?

I am heading to Switzerland for 10 days this December. (Business Class trip) I was wondering if anyone knew anything about the Switzerland Tea Culture or Tea hot spots... I want to try some real European tea service.

I was recently directed to a website through my Heathen connections..they have teas and coffees, specifically from the areas of Sweden and Finland.
No longer a physical store, they are on-line only:

The Metropolitan Museum is offering for free download from their archives 368 museum books of the holdings or exhibitions of museum, all of which are full text and will all illustrations.  Titles that will probably be of interest to Steampunk Forum are: The Age of Napoleon: Costume from Revolution to Empire, 1789–1815, All the Mighty World: The Photographs of Roger Fenton, 1852–1860, American Art Posters of the 1890s in The Metropolitan Museum of Art, including the Leonard A.

 Let me cut to the chase, these books and 300 plus others are available free at this site and I don’t know how long they will have this offer, so I suggest you go there and get what you need.  I also expect you to share this with other costumers and Steampunkers so they can get the references they need.

Madame Rayne Shaw, That sounds like a splendid idea! I would thoroughly enjoy something like that... Sadly, I live in Toronto :(

I am looking at possibly starting up a group in the chicagoland area to goto various tea shops to try different brews.... just curious if anyone would be interested

Why thank you. I find tea to be a most refreshing occasion no matter the blend. It's perhaps the one common tie we have in this universe

Good Morning Mr. Clark, and welcome.
Today it's Red Rose black tea with Chambord as a scurvy preventative....I save the better teas for better occasions.
