Amazing tea

Yee Lee

The food was great, and the staff were attentive!
The Burrata was flavorful, along with the bread and tomatoes. I recommend the OE Chopped Chicken Salad, with the avocado, goat cheese and citrus cilantro vinaigrette, if your looking for something light yet filling, with a hint of sweetness from the dates.
Now, for filling! The double patty burger was wonderful, as it was savory, and the patty was cooked to perfection. Lastly, the Truffel Mac & Cheese, was not only creamy, rich, and crunchy with the bread crumbs on top, it had the right amount of garlic.
Only complaint is the noise level, due to all the people talking. It's expected of course as we are in public and it was a busy Friday. But if you are Autistic, or are easly overstimulated, just prepare yourself.
Also, if you are here for books, it is only in the front portion of the store, across the candle making area. It's a small selection. There is also a café, in the hallway, if you want coffee. Then on the 2nd floor, it leads to Management and a Members Only Area. Then in the back entrance, depending on where you enter, is the wine tasting area, which is next to the restaurant entrance.

Fabulous local tea spot with so many delicious flavors! Love them just wish there were some tables to sit indoors and enjoy a tea! There’s a few tables outside which is awesome when the weather is mild. Otherwise I take my tea to brew at home and love the wide variety of flavors!

It’s one of my favorite tea places for casual selection of a variety of teas.

I did a tea tasting of 5 flavors over 2 days:
Day1
1st: tried something new with blueberry green tea. I had space for caffeine since skipped coffee that morning. Sounded nice but it was too berry flavored
2nd: slightly disappointed that it didn’t hit my coffee replacement for morning. I went back to my favorite flavor Lavender Earl Grey. Although I have it already their blend at home, I felt no guilt enjoying although the sonar while I stopped my tea.

Day2
3rd blackberry jasmine green tea. Forgettable and more berry flavored than I wanted. Next I’ll try the jasmine silver needle.
4th Jamaican Ruby red - surprisingly lovely grapefruit citrus aroma and the hibiscus not over paying. The aroma of tea was intoxicating that I had to try it
5th key line ginger - love the relaxing lemon grass ingredients, spice of the ginger. Definitely not a berry flavor.

Overall from this tea tasting - wasn’t in a berry mood ands preferred more the traditional black teas with floral notes and the ginger teas for herbal.

🤷🏾‍♀️ Perhaps my job is to make sure I try every tea houses preparation of Lavender Earl grey.

Tea Quality 🫖 🫖 🫖 🫖 🫖
Loose leaf teas
Wide variety of teas organized multiple for green, white, black, oolong, and herbals.

Atmosphere 🫖 🫖 🫖 🫖
Charming upscale cozy living room vibe of the Oxford exchange made it fun to pick a new nook for each teapot.

Service 🫖 🫖 🫖
Presentation includes a tea cup, saucer , and separate teapot to keep warm - the basic of tea service.
At this location caters to the restaurant next door so the baristas are very busy. Not a menu description or ability to sell explore/smell each blend.
You have to walk up to counter so no table service orders.
Anne was wonderful and helped me pick out new flavors of theirs. Found something new I liked.

This tea store is a hidden gem! The lavender iced tea is soothing and aromatic, while the iced matcha is smooth and rich with a perfect earthy balance. The cozy, calming atmosphere makes it a perfect spot to relax or catch up with friends. Highly recommended! 🍵✨

The matcha was extremely weak. It didn’t even taste like tea, just like barely flavored milk. Very disappointed with the taste. I feel like if you’re going to be a tea company, you have to follow through with flavor. The service was good though.

What a great tea selection today with mate brio, peachy keen, ginger orar and my choice jamaicano ruby red. Delicious. I enjoyed the tea stayed on the I Esther sofa in between TeBella, the restaurant busy with lunch, the Coffee Bar and stairs that lead up to The Commerce Club.
A busy place and the tea is great on a cushy sofa
Accessible venue with high bar and low accessible bar with loungy chairs
Aceesibke central women's and men's restrooms
Pay by app van accessible street parking that can be challenging to get close by

I visited TeBella Tea at Oxford Exchange this morning, and let me tell you, it was an experience! I was feeling a bit indecisive about what to order, so I asked the barista to surprise me, and wow, did she deliver! She made me a delicious tea with salted caramel, and it was absolutely amazing. The sweet and salty combo was perfect, and it really turned my morning around. It was just the right balance of flavors, and I found myself savoring every sip. Definitely a great start to my day! Highly recommend this place if you're looking for something unique and comforting!

Tucked inside the breathtaking Oxford Exchange, TeBella Tea Company is a little slice of tea heaven. As a tea lover, I was beyond impressed with their selection, so many incredible options to choose from! The tea baristas were not only super knowledgeable but also incredibly kind, making the whole experience even better.

We went with the Moroccan Mint, and it did not disappoint, so refreshing and full of flavor! Whether you are a longtime tea enthusiast or just curious to try something new, this is the perfect spot to sip, relax, and enjoy the charm of Oxford Exchange.

Stopped in and regretted it. Tried a warm chai latte, which tasted like an extremely weak masala. Decided to give them another shot, this time a iced matcha latte. The disappointment is real. The only reason I know it's matcha is due to the green. If you're looking for weak tea. You've found.

I went to Oxford and stumbled upon Tebella. I had no idea what to get because I’m not really a tea person, but Anne and Emily helped me figure out what I wanted. They were both very sweet and helpful. I got the Christmas cookie matcha. The service was great, I will definitely be back here.

I came here yesterday for the first time. I ordered the Gingerbread fog with help from one of the baristas Jenna. She was so helpful and kind. I didn’t know what to order so she let me smell the teas and gave me a lot of good ideas. People like her make me want to come back. My tea was amazing. I really recommend coming here. The service is fantastic.

Came here to get a new tea and em did an amazing job and was very personable. Em and chatted while she made my tea and I went home with some amazing variates to try! This is the best tea around I drive an hour just to get it :)

Great service that is super friendly, teas are made fresh on the spot, not filled with random sugars and other BS, and a reasonable price. Shame parking is such a nightmare or I'd go here all the time! Would be sweet if it had another location that was easier to access. Will be back whenver I'm visiting OE.
