I really hope they stay open. The staff are the nicest people and I hope they're doing well. Great loose-leaf tea and fresh-made... tea options. Cool teapots and accessories. Great chocolates and baklava. I recommend their lavender lemonade too, if you're notin the mood for tea. Read more
I have become enamored with this charming tea room. My journey into my new found love of tea started with a delicious Dark... Chocolate Peppermint tea. I was instantly smitten. I have since branched out to a number of teas, my home often taking on thesubtle hint of the latest blend. I would be remiss if I did not also talk about the amazing owners, Serengeti and Richard, andtheir charming assistant Sierra. They are all knowledgeable and kind. I am always greeted with such warmth as they will oftentalk with me about all of the teas as I work my way through the lot. I have laughed with them and learned from them. They haveall together created a welcoming environment, to sit in a beautiful place and discover a new passion. Thank you to Serengeti,Richard, and Sierra for introducing me to this wonderful new world?? Read more
One of the few loose tea stores to be found. Great selection...
Such a darling place with delightful locally made teas! My girlfriends and I spent the afternoon strolling around the main... street of McMinnville. The atmosphere is intriguing with glass jars of teas and assorted tea kettles. The even sell Moonstruckchocolates! The reason for my rating? After consuming most of a bubble tea, my stomach felt quite queasy and I was unable tofinish the drink. I'll try this place again next time I'm in town. Overall, I'd say to give this sweet place a try and decidefor yourself. Read more
