Margaret's Fine Imports used to be 3/4 of the way down the hill on Murry. It was called Wicks and Beans. It moved to 5872 Forbes Ave., near Littles Shoe Store. You will find hundreds of loose leaf teas to choose from. Every first Wednesday of the month you can attend a free tea class and tea tasting. For Christmas good teas are Pumpkin Spice or Winter White Earl Grey. If you have a glass teapot flowering teas that expand into a flower sculpture in your teapot are a pretty gift. Other good teas are Golden Monkey, a black tea with gold veins and Strawberry Green, a green tea with the taste and fragrance of strawberries. Stop in the store, it is open seven days a week or visit the web site at www.teapittsburgh.com. The bonuses of visiting the store are Margaret's expert help and being able to smell and see the teas before you buy them. A list of teas is available at http://www.teapittsburgh.com/teapittsburgh.html.
