Traveling Tea

I stopped by today and was greeted by a couple of totally friendly staffers that were exceedingly helpful in answering questions about tea. They were even kind enough to let me order a brewed cup of tea to purchase before I committed to buying loose tea to take home. The level of service here is very rare and quite delightful.

I managed to find some great stocking stuffers here for Christmas! I was very indecisive about what flavors to get for everyone. But that’s ok! Because they also sell individual packets so you can try a variety! They also sell some locally made short-​bread cookies to go along with your tea! Great service!
I went with a 3 because this place is a little small. And this might seem silly, but it doesn’t feel at fancy as I feel it should considering the higher prices. Also, while I will drink just about any kind of tea, what I really want is a strong chai or punch-​you-​in-​the-​face cinnamon. And I haven’t been able to find that here. However, their other teas are nice and I love supporting a local business!

Great store! Stopped in to buy a Christmas gift for a friend and found a magnificent selection of loose leaf teas and accessories. I am very pleased with the gift I purchased and really appreciated the helpful and knowledgable service. I’ll be back to purchase more delicious tea for myself soon.

I drove passed this store on Sutton in Maplewood, and it seemed that it was always closed. I was never really sure when it was open.
The other day, they were open and so I stopped by. I wanted Rooibus Tea and Ginger Tea. They had both. When I was there, I was assisted by a very nice and knowledgeable young lady who was very good at knowing about the different teas, and for what they are used.
The shop is a very small but cozy store that smell really good when you walk in because of the tea they have on hand. You can order tea from them, and they supply different establishments around town with their tea. They have ready to buy tea there which is what I got.
I really liked their little shop and their tea is good, too.

High quality products and extremely knowledgable staff. Another amazing small business in Maplewood!

These people know tea. And they can figure out what you like and can package it up for you.
And they can package it as teabags or as loose tea.
I always enjoy visiting the shop.

Tea time!
I heard about this place when getting some pies at Pie Oh My! I bought a chai pie and they said they use chai from Traveling Tea down the street for their recipe. I thought I would give ‘em a visit!
I’m a huge tea fanatic. I do drink coffee, but not very often. I drink tea like most people drink coffee. Usually about three cups of tea a day. I mainly drink black tea and my favorite is Earl Grey. I was super happy to hear there was a tea shop in Maplewood – I never noticed it. Tea shops are rather rare to come by.
I loveeeee earl grey tea so I thought I would sample some of theirs. It was pre-​packaged in the front but they had all the means to package right there in shop. It was $ 3.50 for an ounce — a great deal (an ounce will last ya a bit). This earl grey was much sweeter than your standard Earl Grey and still very flavorful.
The shop is quite small but it gets the job done!
If you are looking to try some new teas or old favorites, go to Traveling Tea. They’ll hook you up!

Went with girlfriends who like tea. They had some nice samples that prompted purchases.
The guys working here are very nice and personable.
They put together your purchase in the back — no pre-​packaged stuff, except for a few teas at the counter.
Lots of tea helpers, such as pots, sun-​tea brewers, cold brewers and other tea-​making necessities.
