French tea salon The O Dor offers a heady take on a humble brew. The Paris-based company, which has been providing tea drinkers with loose-leaf elixirs since 1842, makes teas as beautifully packaged as they are flavorful. Locally, the teas are available at Belltown boutique Polite Society, whose staff members are happy to brew a press pot of the pricey tea and offer a complimentary cup to customers.

I've been a lifelong chocoholic. So, imagine my excitement when I learned that there was a (real-life) chocolate factory in Fremont. Instantly my mind filled with visions of Willy Wonka and his Oompa Loompas sailing down rivers of cocoa. While Theo Chocolate is far from fantasy, my recent visit to the United States' first roaster of fair-trade cocoa beans and the only organic chocolate factory in the nation was just as fantastic.
