“We came here to get some of the to go loose leaf tea but also staid for a cup of vegan chai and regular chai. We both really enjoyed it and could see how fresh it was. We took home some mate and chair mixes and I really liked how their home made packaging tells you the temp and time to steep as well as their blend of ingredients. The mate was also really smooth and delicious. I definitely recommend this place to anyone in the area. The staff was also really friendly and helpful and the atmosphere was cute, we enjoyed reading one of their on display books that you could choose from while you relax and drink your tea.”
