From cardamom rose to lavender cream, Secrets of the Garden boasts some nifty shades of Earl Grey. Founded in 2004 as The Secret Garden, this San Luis Obispo staple is a haven for tea fans with its shelves lined with dozens of mason jars that contain the shop’s various tea selections. Aside from visiting the new spot on Parker Street in person, prospective clients can get a taste of the venue’s offerings through its online roster, primarily categorized by color with tabs dedicated to black, red, green, and white teas. There are plenty of tea blends to pick from, too, ranging from caffeinated pick-me-ups like “electric nectar" to herbal assortments like “baller status only," “Mad Hatter tea party," and “galactic spice groove."
