SSS is an absolutely amazing tea shop (that also happens to be a fantastic spice shop). They likely have the largest selection of loose leaf teas and tisanes in Northern Nevada – the oolong selection alone is worth visiting for! There are teas in the store you won’t find on the website.
They have a tea bar at the back end of the store with about 8 stools where you can buy a cup of any tea to try and the staff will brew it and let you know about the brewing methods so you can reproduce it yourself if it turns out to be a fave. They will also ice the teas. The owners and staff are friendly and incredibly knowledgeable – I love being able to talk tea with them.
Whether you’re a local or just stopping through, this is a great place to shop.

I prefer tea. Cha. Te. The stuff from the Camellia Sinensis plant. Pretty much every kind (though I’ve still never found a Shu Pu’er I can handle both the smell and the taste of). Not a huge fan of tisanes, but I really love the word… tisssaaane… it’s a good word. Like gallimaufry or dirigible.

96-100: I end up never drinking this tea because I’m terrified I’ll run out.
90-95: I own so much of this I’ll have it through the apocalypse and share it with everyone I know.
80-89: It’s tasty, but I have so much freakin tea that I may or may not buy it again.
70-79: I bought it, I’ll finish it, it certainly isn’t bad, but I won’t buy it again.
60-69: There’s got to be someone who likes this stuff. It’s intriguing, but so not my cuppa.
00-59: I have some plants that need an acidifying mulch or a piece of fabric that needs to be tea dyed.
