J-Tea offers a great selection of pu'er, oolong, and aged teas; as well as decent black, green, and herbals. He is friendly and knowledgeable. I recommend coming into the store to chat with the owner Josh and try out the Stand & Slurp events! Great tea for the price and quality if you are searching for better quality loose and whole leaf teas.
I recently went out of my way on a road trip to visit J-Tea, and was very excited to sit down and drink some tea! Upon arrival the owner informed me that there is no regular tea service during the summer. This is contrary to the Google Map listing, which indicated that the "Dine-in” option was available, and the first photo shows people sitting down and enjoying tea. Despite my disappointment, I ended up buying a couple of teas the owner recommended, which I’ve been enjoying at home - he clearly knows his stuff! I’m a former small business owner - used to have a bike shop for 14 years - so I know how tricky it can be to stay on top of online business listings. In reality though, it takes just a few minutes to make these updates. I’d like to come back when I can indeed sit down and sip some tea, but how can I be sure when this is offered again?

I came here because Google said you would be open. And you're closed. If you can't be bothered to update your hours, then I can't be bothered to buy anything from you. You've lost a customer.I gave you one more chance, and took a lunch break to come out but again you are closed. I can't come after work because you're closed. I can't come after work because you're closed.I'll just buy online and pay for shipping
Amazing tea shop with unique and delicious tea selection! Owner was very kind and knowledgeable. Absolutely worth a visit!

Great selection of teas, very cool ambiance and in one of my favorite parts of Eugene. Very knowledgeable regarding the teas that are there too! All of the food carts nearby and the little market are an additional bonus.
Best tea I've had thus far by far. Plus they ship! Thank you J-

I miss this small teahouse very much. The owner knows tea very well and has his persistence. It’s also very interesting!
By far the best tea in town. It’s pricey but it’s the only place to buy quality tea. When the shop is open too, it’s fun to talk with strangers and sit closely by the tea bar. I’m really glad JTea is a part of the community here in Eugene
Walked in and the proprietor was having a very snobby, judgmental conversation about other tea shops. Very off-putting.Edit: This was indeed two years ago.
I have been going to JTea for many years and have always had a great experience. Josh really got to know what we like and has made some excellent recommendations. I still make time to stop in and purchase some tea even though we've moved to the Seattle area.
We showed up during normal business hours to an abandoned shop with a sign in the window that said "call to order". We called the number and it went straight to voicemail. We left messages (3 of us called separately), and no calls were returned. This was several weeks ago. The shop has ample room for outdoor seating, but they're doing "to go" orders only, with no seating set up. Even if they had been open to serve us, we would have been disappointed, being forced to order "to go" and drink our tea on the sidewalk as opposed to the large, empty outdoor area in front of this building.
