Tea and Whisk
Leo Lukidi's Chinatown shop on Spring Mountain Road, buying from small family farms and selling in 1 and 2 oz pouches.
A shop set up for people who have never bought loose leaf: small pouches, tasting events, and an owner who walks beginners along the shelf.
Tea and Whisk is at 6288 Spring Mountain Rd, Ste 110, in the Chinatown strip that holds most of the tea in Las Vegas, well away from the Strip. It belongs to Leo Lukidi, who says most first-time customers arrive knowing nothing about tea and that the shop is built for them: events and activities aimed at beginners rather than a certification course. The buying policy is stated plainly on the site — the teas come from small family farms.
The catalogue is filed by family and by origin: Chinese and Japanese greens and matcha, Wuyi, Phoenix and Taiwanese oolong, Chinese, Japanese, Taiwanese and Indian blacks, classic and aged whites, shou and sheng pu-erh, heicha, yellow tea, and a rooibos and herbal section. Sizes stay small, 1, 2 and 4 oz. A Yame organic sencha is US$ 18 for 2 oz, a dark-roast Iron Goddess from US$ 13.50, a Royal Grade Milk Oolong from US$ 15.30 and an organic Imperial Matcha from US$ 16.15 the ounce.
The teaware side is unusually deep for a shop this size: Yixing, Jianshui, Jingdezhen, Nixing, Taiwanese and Japanese teapots, gaiwan and hohin, cups, matcha tools, tea pets and travel sets. Tea events, tasting experiences and gift cards run alongside the retail. Opening is split — Monday and Thursday to Saturday from 11:00 to 17:00, with Sunday, Tuesday and Wednesday by appointment — and United States orders over US$ 95 ship free.

What to buy here
Tieguanyin
Dark Roast Iron Goddess Oolong
from US$ 13.50 · 2 oz
Tieguanyin in its dark-roast form rather than the green, floral version most shops carry, in a 2 oz pouch that is enough for many sessions.
See our page on this tea →Sencha
Yame Organic Sencha
US$ 18 · 2 oz
A sencha named for Yame, the Fukuoka growing area it comes from, and certified organic: a single-region Japanese green rather than a generic one.
See our page on this tea →Matcha
Organic Imperial Matcha
from US$ 16.15 · 1 oz
Organic matcha in a 1 oz pouch, the smallest size here, which suits a powder that is best used soon after opening. The shop stocks the whisks and bowls on the same visit.

The one worth the trip
Ancient Tree Sticky Rice Shou Pu-erh
from US$ 12.60 · 1 oz
A ripe pu-erh from ancient trees scented with nuo mi xiang, the sticky-rice herb, which gives it a sweet, grain-like aroma that no other tea on this list has. It comes loose in a 1 oz pouch instead of a pressed cake, so the style can be tried without committing to a whole one. This is the shop's one genuinely uncommon lot.
