Today was my first time stopping by. I've followed them on Facebook for a while now and I finally had the chance to stop by and so happy tht I did! I was very impressed with the selections they have, very friendly and helpful with my tea choice. Very excited that they offer turmeric shots also. Prices are reasonable

Stopped by to redeem a gift card. Enjoyed some specially brewed teas and got a bag for home. The squirrel cup made me smile. It appeared that we joined some regulars for an after work tea. The tea bar gals know their tea and customers as they offered a usual or suggested something new as they arrived.

Went with my daughter. Lovely retreat from the outside world. The staff is knowledgeable and fun. The teas we chose were over ice and yummy. Sampled various vinegars, bought tea, vinegar and Bacon olive oil. Will be returning soon!

Wonderful customer service everytime. If you like tea, you just found heaven. Wide array of herbs and spices as well as olive oils and specialty vinegars. Definitely one of my favorite local businesses.

The tea here is high quality, authentic and the baristas know their stuff. They'll even craft you a custom blend, just ask! Definitely a staple in Downton/ great place for a little culture

This tea bar is a great place to come and relax with a cup of iced or hot tea. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable about the teas. While not very spacious, it is an excellent place to come with a friend to have a relaxed conversation.

Staff is amazing and very knowledgeable about the healthy benefit of teas from around the world. Love this place. Great place to go on Saturday morning added bonus of a farmers market.

Tea is amazing. Customer service has room for improvement. And somehow I always end up waiting waaayyyy too long for my tea/order.
