I have admittedly only been in once, but the quali-tea is out of this world! I got Earl Grey and Eugene Breakfast. The Earl is my starting point because there's nowhere to hide if something is off. No notes on either of my choices, absolutely stunning. We came in at the end of the day and didn't take much time to browse, but this shop is a tea nerds passion project! Many choices of teas and accessories. I look forward to coming in again to try something new and have a better browse.

I highly recommend checking j tea out they're awesome. its easily my favorite store in Eugene, they have a wide selection of amazing teas and most of mine were bought there at some point lol. the overall vibes of the store are wonderful and the owner is really knowledgeable and always has great recommendations. the "Charcoal spirit" oolong has been my personal favorite so far, but everything else I've gotten from them has been tea-licious too hehe

Taking a trip from Texas to visit different parts of Oregon, I searched around for more traditional tea shops. Very happy to have put J-Tea on my list. I wish I had given myself more time to just browse the store. The shop is bright and open, with open shelves clearly labeled and full of possibilities. I grabbed three different teas; Xia Guan 8633 Raw Puer, Spring Ming Mei Green, and Ah Lin Jade Oolong. Sadly, I have only been able to try Xia Guan 8633, but it was a great session. In my opinion a nice woody tea that reminds me of the large Firs I got to see while I was there. Just a hint of citrus for me which helped balance it out well. I can't wait to try the other two. I also want to thank the owner for being very kind and involved in helping me pick out my teas. If you go in knowing your preferences I am sure he can find exactly what you are looking for. I'm sad that this shop if across the country or I would be there all the time. Good selection, kind & helpful owner, great tea.

My experience was awesome and Josh is super friendly. He was kind and helped me choose a cute gaiwan! Very knowledgeable and a joy to talk with. I can't wait until I can come back to get some more!

The wife needed some new flavors for our morning teas, these guys had what we needed. A neat little tea bar sits within this little shop. Definitely has that Eugene feel. For a quick drink for a tea that you know and want it's a good place, but if you're looking for a place to look around and smell the aromas, maybe check out a different place. If you know what tea you like you'll like it, for the casual tea drinker you may be a little overwhelmed. Good prices, good people.
