My Cup of Tea Unique Gifts in Chula Vista's Third Avenue Village has curated over 70 loose-leaf tea varieties — spanning black, green, white, herbal, and decaf — from its downtown storefront since 2006. Reservation-only high tea service layers finger sandwiches, house-baked scones with imported English clotted cream, and a three-tier dessert tray, pairing each course with a pot selected from the same caliber of hand-arranged presentation found at Kolibri Flower Lab. The retail side stocks hand-selected vintage tea sets, ceramic teapots, animal-shaped salt-and-pepper shakers, and Victorian-style hats, converting the shop into a dual-purpose tea room and specialty gift boutique. Monthly Teago events — a tea-and-bingo hybrid — rotate featured blends and distribute loose-leaf sampler prizes, a community programming format that mirrors the cultural-event calendars maintained by venues such as Swiss Park & Hall San Diego. The flagship Cherry Blossom blend layers Japanese sencha with dried cherry petals and rose hips, steeped at 175°F for three minutes to avoid the tannin bitterness that higher temperatures extract from green-tea leaves.
