Everything Tea

I love this place. I get most my loose leaf tea here! Very good variety & I’m really liking the new owners

Great spot for the tea snob, I have lots of fun even I’m here, smrlling and craving tea.
Lots of tea accessories too

New owner, so nice and helpful. She helped me pick out two teas I absolutely love! Thank you very much.

Lovely place, lovely setting :) Had so many choices that I had to write things down.
I highly recommend the green pear tea.
Will go back!

I don’t live in the area, but when I come to visit to Snohomish I have to make a stop here. Most of my business with Everything Tea is done online but coming to the shop and checking out all the tea is awesome. Reasonable prices and Chrissy is awesome!

Today, my husband and I received a response from the complaint we filed with the BBB. The owner, Patricia James, claimed she was pleasant and courteous during my entire experience with her. She also claimed no other people entered her store during this time. What reason on God’s green earth would I have to spend this much time and effort writing a detailed account of my experience, posting it on every review site available, if she was pleasant and courteous? She stated I did not seem upset when I left the store. Patricia, that is called maintaining composure, an ability you sorely lack. There is a separate account of a negative experience post by another customer on their Facebook page that is recent and similar. Mine is not an isolated incident. Patricia James also stated in her BBB response, that technically she shouldn’t have accepted the card. This reinforces the accuracy of my review. She kept hammering the same statement to me (AFTER deciding to accept it). Mind you, she already processed my husband’s card and charged it BEFORE she began badgering me. It is clear from looking at the card, it isn’t mine, so the production she made of scrutinizing the signature after charging the card is disingenuous at best. She seems to think she was doing me a big favor by selling her goods to me. Here on planet earth, it is the customers who are doing businesses a favor. Patricia James wrote in her response she will not refund loose tea purchases because they are not sealed when sold. Normally, this is reasonable, and makes sense. In my case, she broke her own policy to take money. If she can break policy to take money, then she can very well break policy to refund it. She’s not going to do that which is her prerogative. My prerogative is to post her well earned review so that the potential lost revenue far exceeds the amount she refuses to refund.

I’ve been coming into Everything Tea since 2008. The staff is very helpful and knowledgeable and the tea selection is fantastic. It’s always a must stop place for me whenever I’m in Snohomish.

Awesome little tea store… more like tea mecca. I stopped in here the other day on my way home from lunch with a friend and was kicking myself for having never been in. They have an enormous wall of all kinds of teas — herbal, black, green, even the coveted pu-​ehrs (crazy pressed and fermented teas from China). They also have an excellent selection of Beehouse Teapots and my fave teas made by Metropolitan Tea. The owners were super nice and the prices were very fair, especially for such high quality.

I’ve been to this tea nirvana 5 times… and I’m from SeaTac. Actually, this is a great way to finish brunch.
They have loads of loose tea and that is appealing to a person who makes their tea at home.
In the colder times, they also have a sample hot tea.
Overall, this is one of the premier tea stores in western WA. and they have lots of tea paraphenalia.

Wow! My hubby and I were in Snohomish for the day to dodge the rain and check out all the cute shops on their main street in this historic town. We went into this shop because we love tea (my husband was born in England!) and tea is easy to pack and bring home. Anyway, what a surprise this shop was with more varieties of tea than you can imagine and great prices too. We purchased the Orange Creamsicle and the Chocolate Raspberry Truffle (in fact I’m drinking that right how!). My only complaint is that I should have bought more but that is my problem. The shop also has lots of tea accessories and is building a website for future online purchases ~ I can hardly wait. Visit Everything Tea if you’re ever in the area ~ you won’t be disappointed!

I love having this shop in our town. They have a great assortment of everything from decaf, herbals, asian and european teas. They also have some cute little teapots ans accessories.

A great tea shop in quaint downtown Snohomish! They seem to have between 200 and 300 types of teas, the majority of which are bulk teas by the ounce ($ 2 and up per ounce, most under $ 4). They also have imported teas and boxes of teabags, lots of infusers and tea paraphernalia, and fancy boxes of biscuits and sweets.
I was particularly excited to see several flavors of Harney & Sons, because I’d heard a lot about them but wanted to try it out before committing to an expensive tin. They also have many flavors of Metropolitan Tea Co. I tried some Lady Londonderry and couldn’t resist a French caramel brulee that smelled amazing.
Although the tea seems competitively priced, some of the accessories seem marked up rather high (they charge $ 5.50 for a package of disposable fill-​your-​own teabags that I get at Daiso for $ 1.50). But I guess you’re also paying for their expertise and helpfulness, and the owner was friendly and helpful, happy to talk about the different kinds of teas with me and the best way to prepare them.
With a wide range of teas to suit every taste, this is a fun place to stop whether you’re a beginning tea drinker or a tea expert. They even have kid-​friendly herbal/​fruit tisanes for non-​tea-​drinkers! I’d combine it with a visit to one of the several cupcake shoppes just down the street for the full teatime experience.

Wow! They have an extensive tea collection, probably the largest I’ve ever come across in one location, decent prices too. It’s been over a week, and I’ve been regretting not getting that traveling infuser I looked at, so just ordered it today from their website.

Full Disclosure — I’m not a professional tea drinker, but my wife is.
However, IMO this place is incredible. There are over 200 types of tea’s to purchase, sample, smell, and look at. The staff is very nice, accommodating, and not pushy at all.
Prices seem to be pretty reasonable, from $ 2 – 5 per oz. of tea — depending on quality, rarity, etc. There are lots of tea sets, kettles, etc. from all over the world.
Very impressive. Again, I’m not a huge tea drinker but I can certainly appreciate the amount of time, dedication, and seriousness they have put into their business.

I willingly drive 17 miles out of my way to visit this store, which is in the historic district of old Snohomish. Believe me, it’s entirely worth it to make a day of it on a lazy weekend, travel out to Snohomish for breakfast or brunch, and then spend an hour or so browsing Everything Tea and catching up with the proprietors.
Everything Tea has a very respectable selection that more than adequately covers the main general types of tea: black, oolong, and green. Pu-​ehrs, white, and yellow teas are also available. Likewise, tea is available in brick, tou-​cha, and rolled forms. Additionally, there are flavored varieties of tea as well as herbal tisanes and other tea alternatives, such as rooibos.
The owners are personable and, more importantly, they know their trade quite well: they can give you expert advice on how properly to brew any given variety. If you’re going to invest in a high quality green, for example, it will pay to inquire as to how to brew it if you’re unfamiliar with the process.
The pricing is a treat: as has been mentioned by a previous reviewer, you will pay quite substantially less for tea of equal or greater quality than you’d pay at a chi-​chi mall retailer, plus there’s a percentage discount system whereby you can save a good bit more by buying larger amounts. I buy my lapsang souchong by the kilo here as a result, and it’s an absolute steal.
Speaking of lapsang — for those who love it, Everything Tea carries a variety called Lapsang Zhivago, which is particularly smokey. Try it out if you’re an aficionado. It’s big-​time kicky.

Everything Tea is the place to go if you want to start or continue your tea education.
They carry a large variety of tea and tea accessories and the owners are very knowledgeable about their products and excited to share their tastes and get your feedback.
However, the non-​owner staff members they employ are much less aware of their products and less willing to take the time with each customer.

Stumbled across this gem one day on the way back on Hwy 2 where I ended up stopping in Snohomish.
A wonderful little tea shop with all the teas you could want, and great prices. All the little accessories you may want, it seemed. Staff was awesomely helpful too.
I found one tea in there that was the same type of tea I bought at teavana, though it had a different name. It was about ¹⁄₃ or ¼ the price of what teavana sold it for.

I love this store! It is a small store run by a married couple with literally hundreds of loose leaf tea choices. Some of thier teas can be quite expensive, but most are not. Teas that are on special are generally great buys. You can also buy tea accesories here, but they are usually better priced somewhere else. They also carry a variety of organic teas as well.
