Good tea, cute shop and nice little tea counter. Also nice packaging.
But as first impression and first time customer, felt the 2x unoccupied staff were not forthcoming, as I stared at the walls/shelves of tea. Please address and thx.

Came to the shop about a week ago, got myself a fruity green tea drink! It was a pleasure being helped by Zimbo and Kieran. Both seem highly intelligent and experienced in teas. I learned a lot of fun great facts!! I am looking forward to trying some more soon

I have never really been a tea person, but went to the Chicago Christmas Market last week and smelled all the flavors of the Chicago Teahouse. I fell in love with their Pu-erh Pistachio tea and I can say it is the best tea I drank in my life. I now drink at least 3 cups a day and the benefits are amazing too. Besides that you can resteep this tea.

As someone who truly loves tea, this shop was an absolute delight to visit. The selection is both thoughtful and inspiring—every blend feels curated with care. The staff welcomed me with genuine enthusiasm, guiding me through options and helping me discover flavors that matched my preferences.
What stood out most was the experience: it wasn’t just about buying tea, it was about learning, tasting, and connecting. I left with not only delicious teas but also a deeper appreciation for the craft behind them. The atmosphere is calm and inviting, making it the perfect place to slow down and savor the moment.
If you’re a tea enthusiast or simply curious to explore, this store is a gem worth seeking out. I’ll be carrying these flavors back to Michigan with joy!

I just dropped in bc it looked good, I wasn't even planning to buy anything. The staff are super nice they recommended every single tea after asking about my taste. It was the best shopping experience in Chicago! I highly recommend it to anyone who visits Chicago. Thank you ♥

Genna was absolutely amazing, let me smell so many teas and was incredibly knowledgeable, and gave me all the free samples in addition to my sizable purchase. She and the store are amazing!

I bought honey ginger candy (Honig Ingwer Bonbons) for 10$. The candy is imported and costs less than 2€ in Germany. The Zotter chocolate I wanted to buy is in your store priced at 12$. It is an Austrian brand. In Germany I buy the exact same bar for 4.70€ The sencha I bought was also priced unfamiliarly high. But I can not moan about the price of the tea because maybe it was of a quality that I usually do not buy. But I remember the prices of our shops in Europe. The assistants explanation was “trump tariffs”. I doubt it.
Other than that you got a nice store there in Chicago.
I came here in July, when I was suffering from terrible pregnancy sickness. Even though I arrived just 10 minutes before closing, the guy who helped us carefully and thoughtfully picked out all the right ingredients for a tea to help with nausea. He even made me a big mug of tea and gifted it to me because I was in tears of how awful I felt that day. I’m very grateful to that guy, thank you so much for the high quality teas and the excellent service🙏🏼❤️

I tried several of their teas, and I wanted to share my experiences with them!
I tried their Christmas Tea. I steeped 3 grams in 12 ounces of 212 degree water for 2 minutes. I highly recommend the 2 minute steep time, as this delicious holiday blend does not shy away from the spices at all! This is *it* if you like Christmas teas! I love the bite of the clove, the brightness and zing of the orange, sweetness and spiciness of the cinnamon, the nuttiness of the almond, and the creaminess and the sweetness of the vanilla. I would say the orange and clove stand out to me the most, and the other flavors sing in the background. The black tea chosen for this too is lovely - smooth and a great base. I had this plain but I could see how it would stand up nicely to a little milk and sugar. This would be lovely and festive to have in the morning around the holidays with some French toast or warmed cinnamon rolls! If you’re looking for a festive spiced black tea to have around the holidays, this is for you!
I tried their Masala Chai tea. I made it on the stovetop with organic milk and added a little organic sugar because I really wanted to bring out the spices and make the tea as creamy as possible in order to really taste everything. This chai is SO aromatic, cinnamon-forward, inviting, and perfect for fall! Upon sipping, I tasted mostly cinnamon and clove, followed by the ginger, with the cardamom in the background. I feel like everything marries together so beautifully in this blend and I love the black tea used as well. It is smooth and rich without being overpowering and really lets the spices shine. I also tried this iced and it is absolutely delicious that way as well. Such a treat! If you love sipping on a super aromatic and warming chai during cooler months, this is for you!
I tried their Baked Apple tea. I steeped 3 grams in 12 ounces of 212 degree water for 2 minutes. This is a delicious autumnal black tea blend of apples and spice! I love how the dried apple pieces in this tea give it sweetness and fruitiness and also a tiny bit of a tart note. The cinnamon in here too is lovely, also a little sweet, and gives just the right amount of warming spice, complimenting the apple nicely. The black tea is smooth and has no astringency. I very much enjoyed this tea! This would be amazing in the morning with a croissant or even as a dessert tea!

One of my absolute favorite tea stores - and I have visited and tried the blends of many many tea shops! When I visited the physical store, the workers were kind, engaging, and fun, and I bought not only tea but some of their local and unique honeys. They also have fantastic teaware in case you need or want some. They were also generous with their samples, and I got two cups of tea to go. Both of them were excellent, as were all of the blends I brought home and tried later. I have bought, and will buy, many more from them. I highly recommend their strawberry teas in particular, as well as their Baked Apple and holiday blends. I could make a very long list here, but suffice it to say, they have excellent teas and you cannot go wrong with any of them!

I've tried several Chicago Tea House blends, and have thoroughly enjoyed every single one:
Baked Apple is a delicious fall apple tea blend that tastes like liquid apple pie!
Their masala chai is nice and spicy, and has a lovely cardamom forward flavor.
The Christmas blend is an amazing spiced holiday tea that I will drink year round.
Pineapple Mango was a very tropical tea that was delicious as a cold brew.
Blood Orange Black was an amazing citrus black tea, that also was delightful cold.
Strawberry potion was an absolutely stunning strawberry fruit tea blend.
Good tea, cute shop and nice little tea counter. Also nice packaging.
