Point Loma Tea

This store was such a treat! My mom and I visited while down in Point Loma for the day, and came across this shop after breakfast. The store is very cute, a super cozy atmosphere with SO MANY different choices of loose tea, matcha, and ceramic ware. I was looking to substitute some of the canned Yerba Mate teas for something a little more cost friendly and sustainable. The woman who was there gave me little samples of the loose tea to smell and helped me find the best fit for what I was looking for and I ended up getting the “Minty Mate” and the “Warrior Mate” blends. Ive been drinking the “Minty Mate” in the mornings as a cold brewed tea and it was SO GOOD. It’s light and refreshing without any of the slight bitterness I’d experienced with other Mate blends. I like to add a little bit of lemonade to it when I’m looking for a little tangy sweetness, but it’s also wonderful just cold and straight up without anything added. I would definitely recommend this shop, I love it!!

Love the large selection of tea. The ladies were all so sweet! I think I bought too many teas… lol. Definitely will be back.

Really nice atmosphere with an impressive selection of loose leaf teas. The owner was extremely knowledgeable and helped me and several other customers make informed selections. Each parcel of tea is labeled with amount per cup, water temperature, and steep times. Very happy with the level of attention to detail.

Sherry is wonderful! So knowledgeable and fun. I so enjoyed the full tasting experience. I was out in San Diego for a vacation & will definitely be ordering even more tea when I get home. Thank you for a wonderful afternoon. 🫖🫖🫖🫖🫖🫖🫖🫖🫖🫖

I usually order tea online, but felt like I was ordering the same things every time. So I wanted somebody to discuss something new

The staff was very helpful and knowledgeable. I got several new teas from their recommendations, and they're all delicious. I'll be reordering these teas.

It’s a fun tea store, serves drinks and sells pricey loose leaf teas. I’d hoped to go in and talk about teas I’d liked and get some recommendations, but the staff were more just efficient and the ideas I got from them were very surface-level not super thoughtful, though they also didn’t have many options like what I described. Didn’t want to get nothing so walked out with an overpriced but fun blend to try. Still a nice spot to visit.

Shoutout to Sherry for being the sweetest barista! She was so patient and kind and made amazing drinks for us. Stumbled across this spot with my mom and was blown away by the huge selection of teas. I’ll definitely be coming back to try more of their iced tea flavors. The matcha latte was a standout too—perfectly strong without even having to ask!

I had high hopes for my visit based on the reviews, but unfortunately, I didn’t have a good experience. I wasn’t greeted when I walked in and began browsing the options on my own. Another customer came in after me and was warmly greeted and immediately offered assistance.

I approached someone at the counter to ask a few questions, but they informed me they couldn’t help because they were an intern. The other employee—who turned out to be the owner—began showing the other customer around and explaining the tea options. When the intern mentioned that I was looking for herbal teas, the owner simply pointed and said, “They’re mixed in.”

I was never assisted and left feeling very unwelcome.

I loved the variety of teas they have. Plenty of parking and the folks who work there, can guide you to the perfect tea that you will like.

Cozy, charming, and full of great tea options. The staff was welcoming and knowledgeable, and the vibe was calm and relaxing—perfect for a short break. We picked up a few unique blends to take home. Not a place for kids to run around, but still a pleasant stop for a calm moment.

I’m a newbie to tea. Walked in today to just look around and ended up buying something. Jasmine was great. Super knowledgeable on her loose leaf, and she helped me find something that fit my nightly tea time. The place is clean, organized, and welcoming. 10/10 recommend!

I love point loma tea, the quality is top tier, the owner is amazing, and her staff is as well. I love to go here for gifts, for myself and I am a life long customer. It is clean and sherry is well informed on herbs. As a tea lover don't miss out on a great shop with quality tea and be sure to check out the tea room, to have a tea party.

Me and my two friends went here for tea. It was amazing. There were so many little things for sale to make your tea experience at home better. There was a big wall of loose tea to buy. The owner was very helpful and kind. She made our tea for us. One of my friends who was chasing a chai masala from Denver said the one she got here was almost the same. The experience was so good, we stopped for another tea before we left the area. I definitely recommend.

This is my wife's favorite store in San Diego for tea. We stop in every few months during our visit to the city for a tea resupply.

I love this place! Everyone is so knowledgeable and friendly. And their tea is yummy!
