Lovejoy's Attic, across the street from Lovejoy's Tea Room in Noe Valley, is a sweet stop for loose tea to go when you're not enjoying a proper English tea service. The shop offers one true oddity with its sweet potato pie tea ($3.95 for three ounces), a blend of black tea with real sweet potato shavings. The result isn't cloying, but instead takes on a hearty depth that evokes chestnut. The tea isn't on the menu across the street, though it will occasionally pop up as a special, particularly around the winter holidays.
Lovejoy's Attic (1351 Church at Clipper), 648-6845.
