I stopped in this weekend and had such a lovely experience! Caffeine doesn’t sit well with me so I asked for their caffeine free teas and was immediately met with about 15 options. I was given a description of each and had a little smell test before choosing my favorites. They are all so pretty and it makes my heart happy making my little cup of tea every night! I’ve now tried all of my picks and my favorites have been the lemon tisane, happy tummy, tulsi rose, and vagabond thru persia. Highly recommend stopping in!
I got 1 ounce of tea for most of my picks, which makes 6-10 cups. They were all priced around $4 an ounce (which I thought was very reasonable). You can go smaller, so I got a half ounce for one of them. In the future, I would get smaller sizes of more teas to make my own sampler pack.
There is a large selection of loose leaf tea to purchase by the ounce or to have steeped onsite. The owners and employees are very kind, helpful, and conversational. Their teas can also be purchased on their website for shipping or store pickup. I was informed that they frequently send loose leaf tea to customers in California, which I found impressive for a small business, but I am also not surprised given the quality and quantity of their teas.
A friend recommended your store and said it was the best tea in the city. I was downtown Sunday and stopped by planning to pick up tea for myself and my mom. The women working were absolutely wonderful! They gave me a lot of suggestions based on what kind of teas I liked. I bought five overall and have tried 4/5. My friend did not lie, this is truly the best tea I have ever had. My mom will not be getting any of this haha so I’ll be taking a trip back to the city to come get tea for my mom. Wonderful spot, delicious teas, and totally worth the trip. 10/10!
Awesome tea. Super friendly personalized service. Possibly the best tea shop ever
Went into this store today and it felt like the headquarters of the modern Left's worldview -- chaos disguised as compassion. Every rack covered in pride flags, 'No Kings,' 'No Borders,' 'Abolish ICE,' and every other slogan you'd expect from people who think feelings are a substitute for national security. Let's be clear: when you proudly advertise 'Abolish ICE,' you're not selling shirts -- you're selling the idea that America shouldn't have a border. You're pushing the belief that enforcing immigration law is somehow immoral, while ignoring the tens of thousands of human beings who are trafficked because cartels love when America stops enforcing anything. This place doesn't offer a product. It offers an ideology -- one that tells kids their identity is their politics and their politics must be anti-country it's a literal Liberal cesspool. People tried talking to my kids about getting on hormone therapy and having sex changes this place needs to be investigated and shut down. But I wouldn't expect intelligent thinking from people can not tell the difference between a man and a women to know the difference between a king and a president… no surprise they think Donald Trump is a king.
This tea is so good, so reasonably priced, and the staff are so knowledgeable and helpful. One of my favorite spots in Pittsburgh!
Fantastic selection of well priced and extremely tasty teas/tisanes! Incredibly helpful, knowledge, and kind staff to help you make your selection. They also sell herbs and spices as well.
Owner is very sweet, helpful & tea is amazing
Love this place. The milk oolong is delicious. Great to buy loose teas or an iced or hot cup to go. They also have spices!
A charming find! They have a wide selection of loose leaf tea at very reasonable prices and a knowledgeable staff.

My family and I stopped in when I was visiting from out of state. A native Pittsburgher, I love visiting shops in my hometown and decided to put this one on my list for the weekend. Jess was incredibly knowledgeable, helpful and patient with our many questions to find teas to suit our tastes. My haul will last me for some time, but I’m already eager to place an online order in the future. My family was also so excited that they got a teapot to use each night, too, for their new teas. Very fair prices as well! Thank you!

The tea is delicious, there are so many different kinds to choose from, the workers are so nice and knowledgeable, and the pricing is so unbelievably reasonable it feels like I'm robbing them. Cannot recommend highly enough!
