The associates and business owner alike are VERY knowledgeable in their products, which helps because when you first walk into the store there are an alarming amount of shelves and products on all of them. But they can navigate the store with such ease and finesse that even if you can't find what you're looking for, or are like me and don't even know what you're looking for but know what you need, they can lead you to it with pinpoint accuracy. Nothing beats doing business with someone who is proud and knowledgeable and stands behind what they are selling to you, an even bigger plus to the ones who actually have tried and used the products they are talking about. Those who find my other review for their other location may wonder why I favor this one more. It's actually because of that small, intimate space the store has where there's really just room for what you need, lined up and grouped on the shelves, helping you see all your options and alternatives right there before you. They even have two books stationed side by side for you to do a little research of your own (though I still recommend doing the research yourself and coming in with questions in hand). For these reasons, I give this location the rating that I do. I recommend it!

I came to Jacksonville Oriental Medicine after my second miscarriage feeling very defeated and…read morelost. Western medicine refused to believe there was anything wrong with me, even though my progesterone levels fell on the lowest side of their range of "normal." I did not feel listened to or taken seriously at all, the doctors had hardly any time for me, much less any answers. Viviane was the first one to listen me. She spent so much time evaluating me and listening to every minor detail of my ordeal trying to successfully carry a child. Within two weeks of treatment I was pregnant again and terrified of suffering another miscarriage. She saw me three times a week my entire first trimester. I began to look forward to, even crave the peace and serenity those appointments offered me. I know I would not still be pregnant now if it wasn't for her wisdom in Chinese Medicine. She is truly gifted at what she does. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking answers to their fertility struggles or for any other ailment you may be experiencing. As Viviane predicted, our baby girl is due in December 2013!

Vivian is amazing and truly knows her acupuncture. She was understanding of my frustrating with not…read morebeing pregnant yet and very kind about everything. She studied my fertility charts on my phone's app and seemed to know right away where to place the needles. After trying to conceive for a year, we were able to get a positive pregnancy test within 3 treatments! I was hesitant to trying herbs and cupping, but both were much less strange than I had initially imagined them being and really think they helped us conceive. I'm an acupuncture believer and have been for a few years, but I had only used it for stress relief and pain treatments prior to these visits. Now I'll make sure to get treated again for the next child! The only reason I took off one star is because the walls between her rooms are rather thin and many of her customers are loud talkers so it was difficult to fully relax during the treatments due to noise. But the end result is still the same- she is great at what she does and was able to get me pregnant, so the noise issue is minor. Just don't expect quite tranquility like you would at a massage spa. Thank you, Vivian!

If you've read any of my reviews, you know I'm a sinensophile!! A tea lover!! So whenever I visit a…read morenew city or town, I check for tearooms in the area! I'm so ecstatic that when my fellow Yelper and I visited Beaufort recently, we found this adorable tearoom and gift shop! The bright pink teapot sign welcomes you with a cheerful foreglimpse of what's inside! You can almost imagine Anne (with an "e") wandering about in the beautiful garden or languishing under the white archway studying the chirping birds! It's a serene, inviting scene. We tiptoed onto the wide porch, opened the pink doors, and entered a wonderland of tea paradise. The spacious and lovely displayed gift shop offers a wide selection of tea accoutrements, including a pretty floral electric teapot that caught my eye! Children's tea sets and toys were in one area, teapots, tea caddies, tea cozies, tea cups and tea strainers were gathered and organized in displays throughout the store. Among the beautiful tea things, were other antiques, kitchenware, linens, jewelry and unique gifts. We met the gracious owner, Libby, who when we called about the hours, said she was about to close, but waited for us to arrive!! We were thrilled by her warm welcome and accommodating spirit. She showed us around, allowed us to meander through the shop as she prepared our tea! She guided us thru a small cove filled with gleaming canisters of teas and let us chose our favorites. There were so many, it was hard to pick just one, so she let us pick two! In that little nook, was also a case brimming with exquisite chocolates, fudge and other treats. (I purchased some of the candies and they were amazing!) That cove led to a doorway which opened up into a breathtaking tearoom! It was gorgeous! One table had an Asian flair, with a little bistro table appointed with a fabulous black lacquered screen and a hanging Chinese paper lantern. Another area was set in front of a fireplace with cozy Queen Anne wing chairs and English lace. Yet another was nestled between an antique bureau bedecked with vintage hats and a charming green vanity. This table was in front of a big picture window where one could look out over the garden and see the birds at the feeders. In the middle of the room was an elegant table covered with Battenburg lace and designed for larger parties. Above the table hung a a couple of festive crystal chandeliers that the owner told us she sometimes changes with the seasons. And to the left of that table was an impressive old wooden piano that added warmth to this enchanting tearoom. Our sweet smaller, round table was positioned closer up front, with appealing cane chairs at both ends. We soaked up every detail of this alluring room... we loved the grapevine borders, the hues of sage green and soft lavender, the vintage plates on the walls, the antique furniture, lamps & mirrors, the intricate Oriental rug, and the delicate lady figurine tea caddies that graced every table. We were enthralled with the place! Libby came and served our tea and treats. Her menu is limited to just a couple of items, scones, cakes and cheese straws, some sweet and savory choices, but she may add some other items in the future. We were satisfied with our snacks. The teas were the highlight here! I had a pot of Green Gables Earl Grey and another pot of a delicious Chocolate Peppermint Kiss. My friend had the Ginger Peach Black/Green tea blend. We each bought several ounces of the loose teas to take home, including one called Just Peachy! "I never heard of company going home without tea!" Anne said to Diana when they had tea! And at least we didn't have any raspberry cordial! Some of Libby's teas were named for Green Gables characters and I wanted to try the Marilla White Tea! Next time! Due to zoning restrictions and kitchen limitations, Libby serves her teas in plastic crystal-like cups. While we were initially curious as to the reason for this unconventional serving ware, we were totally empathetic when Libby explained her plight. And let me just say, the tea tastes just a wonderful in these cups! She does allow, however, customers to brings their own china teacups for in-house use! As we sipped and talked, Libby kept us entertained with her stories of the area, her business ventures and her knowledge of teas. We left with our hearts warmed, our tummies contented, and our yearning for tea satiated. We also left with bundles of antiques, gifts and teas and a promise to keep in touch with our newfound kindred spirit!

When she said "that happens sometimes', I instantly thought "the first time should have been the last". Never in all my tea room visits have I been served tea in plastic tea cups, or the spreads in plastic cups. Or scones on plastic plates. Or plastic utensils or paper napkins! If it wasn't for the sweetness of the owner and the overall charm of this place, it definitely would only rate one star. Being the only customers at this time we were seated at a lovely table for two next to the fireplace. Nice ambiance. We ordered tea & the blue berry scone. The scone arrived warm and delicious. As we ate I enjoyed watching the cardinals that came to the window bird feeders. After tea, we perused the gift shop where I purchased a few items. She carries a nice selection of gift items: tea wallets, & cozies. Children's tea sets, antiques, costume jewelry. She also carries a series (2 in series so far) of chapter books by a local author for children. (each copy is signed by author) I purchased both for my daughter which she started reading & loves. When my sister mentioned that we were celebrating my birthday, the owner gave me a special birthday treat: a white porcelain bird. So be sure to mention if it is your special day!
