Mountain Gate Teahouse and Art Gallery

Mountain Gate Teahouse is beautiful space to enjoy the traditions of tea. I requested a private tea ceremony for a small wedding and it was absolutely perfect. Colin is an amazing facilitator. He honored the formalities of a traditional Chinese tea wedding ceremony and simultaneously left plenty of room for our own unique expression. We felt at home in sacred space.

The tea options ranged from delicate to robust and earthy! Each pour left us feeling brighter. The homemade mochi balls were also incredible. The art is calming, mystical, & contemplative.

In addition to tea ceremonies, the space hosts meditations, tarot, and even Qi-Gong retreats! I am impressed at how diverse, innovative, and compassionate the business is. Truly a gem for Telluride!

A serene and contemplative experience. The tea is delicious and complex, the folks that work there are kind and inviting, and the mochi is Fancy. Go there!

Wow what an incredible experience having tea here. They have a very special tea selection and are super knowledgeable. We had a pot of tea that lasted us for an hour because you can continue to rebrew and add fresh water. Epic relaxing teatime :)

Wow, this is a true tea house - traditional ceremonial- grade teas in a fresh modern space. And the art really pulls it all together!

The owners clearly know the art of tea- from the unique old growth teas to the way the tea is served, this is not your average cafe. We literally stayed for hours in one of their cozy nooks enjoying several pots of different teas and snacking on amazing gluten free brownies. We ended up buying several teas, including Iron Goddess and Phoenix Oolong, so we could continue to enjoy some of our favorite teas at home. We will definitely come back to Mountain Gate next time we're in town - and I'd love to attend one of their formal tea ceremonies and meditations which I was told they do weekly. This place is a treasure.

Amazing amazing amazing! Such a special place that made my trip to telluride so special! Loved the bowl and the desserts! The best was the tea and tarot which was an amazing experience!

Amazing teas, love the packaging too. I think these teas make the perfect gifts and are definitely not the grocery-store variety.
Perfect stop if you're in town, and Colin is very knowledgeable & passionate.
I can't go back to store-bought teas after trying these..

For me personally, this is one of my favorites reasons to come to Telluride and the best place I've visited while in Telluride. Colin is truly a master of his craft and takes it serious. This is a teahouse to really grow and explore a deeper meaning of yourself in meditation and other practices. I highly recommend you visit this teahouse if you truly want to immerse yourself in a mountain town experience. Awesome stuff!

Unique, high- quality teas, served in a traditional fashion. Do not let the posted prices discourage you, because each tea order serves at least 4 (or many more) people. The whole experience is so aesthetic and authentic to tea traditions. The atmosphere is so calm and inspiring!

Thank you so much. This is wonderful tea. Kids even like it. The service is amazing. Professionalism and knowledge in medicinal health, during a pandemic. I told them I wanted to get healthier immune system due to Covid, and all staff knew exactly what could possibly help our immune system. I will go back. Thanks for opening in Telluride! You will be perfect for our community. I will update on thoughts after using for a couple weeks.

Sensational tea. Cozy atmosphere. Stunning art. Friendly staff. An extensive menu including scrumptious savory and sweet bites. A must try! Issa vibe. 11/10 recommend.
