Owner Joel Grossman always has a new variety of tea for customers to order. From China, silver needle is light, smooth and delicate, while Ti Kuan Yin oolong is full bodied and rich. Other offerings include Chinese black teas, Sri Lankan ceylons and a range of green teas from Japan. Though he closed his bricks and mortar store, Grossman still takes orders by phone, over the Internet or through his mail-order catalogue. www.capitaltea.com, 905-326-1107
