I've been spoiled lately (or maybe all of my life), cuz last week I got to eat lunch and enjoy seasonal organic tea at this relaxing joint, located just above Yuerba Buena Park. This place reminded me that being green is about slowing down, enjoying the moment and eating nourishing, organic and yummy food. I had this comforting rice soup with carrot, radish, peanut, cucumber and pickle toppings. They have curry and other pan asian dishes, all with an organic seasonal bent. Their tea selection is huge, so i was happy when the server helped me pick one. I wasn't sure I was going to like this place because it sounded kinda "smug," but who doesn't need to slow down every once in a while these days?
