Tea noob here, I've been wanting to transition from drinking tea from a bag to loose leaf for years but never made the effort and didn't realize how easy it could be. The help and information i received made my this "journey" so simple. I could have easily been in and out of the store with what i "needed" to brew my own loose leaf tea in minutes. But the experience became more about what flavors i enjoy, what i will actually drink and brew consistently, and the variety of teas could have been overwhelming but a simple walkthrough and figurative hand-holding to help me understand better what i wanted even though i could not articulate minutes prior.
The patience and shared knowledge provided was fantastic. No snobbery whatsoever, such a wonderful experience! Thank you!
Love the wall of tea! You can smell the teas before you buy. You can even buy a cuppa (or pot) to try before purchasing the tea.
The recommendations have been eye opening and pretty spot on fitting my tastes.
There are teas covering differing tastes and budgets.
All cups and pots prepared in the shop are fixed "western" style. For oolong and green tea lovers, only the first steeping is used. I was informed this is for hygiene reasons which I am all for in a public shop. The shop teas are stored properly, so if you decide to purchase the tea, you are still able to do multiple steepings at home.
This place has an amazing selection. The guy that runs it is extremely knowledgeable and very friendly. Will be here often!
The owner was super friendly, knowledgeable, and the tea selection is fantastic. Whether you're accustomed to gung-fu, taking it easy Grandpa style, or just finally stepping away from the garbage the tea bag industry sells, this place will carry something for you.
Great selection of teas. Unexpectedly closed at times.
Nasty lady owns this place. Unkind and very opinionated.......feels very judged based on the way you like your tea.
They list hours, state that they are open and when you show up they're closed, "online only".

I was so excited to go buy more teas at the shop, and I checked both Google and the website to make sure of the open times (since they seem to be changing alot lately). When I showed up, the blinds were down, and the sign said they were closed. I know they have good teas here, so I'm giving a 2 star review. Please make sure to update your website when your store hours change.
Great selection of tea and knowledgeable staff. We will be back!

There are so many teas to choose from. The staff is always friendly and helpful. I love the "tea wall" where you can smell the teas to help you make your choices ? Great selection of tea accessories too.
This place is the best! The name Exploring Tea is very apt as they have such a wide variety of common and uncommon teas of all kinds, and they’re all very high quality, and not super expensive either! The owner and staff were very kind and a pleasure to speak with, the owner helped me find exactly what I needed and explained all the different kinds of teas. I loved the wall of smelling samples, as well! This store is a tea lover’s dream honestly.
Excellent selection, very helpful staff!
Great store for loose leaf tea! Can't wait to go back!
So many loose leaf tea options
