Today I went to a shop in Kichijoji in westwern Tokyo and enjoyed a free cup of Assam 2nd flush. I was very surprised because they initially offered a free sample of whatever we wanted when we walked in the door and then when we finished they were so busy talking to some older woman pretending to know something about tea (when she obviously didn't) and we just said thanks and left. It was perfect as we had been looking for a good cup of tea anyway and this one was free. Although it wasn't all that good, come to think of it, because I wasn't very tempted to buy anything.
