The cozy, inviting atmosphere makes it perfect for lingering with a friend or family member over creatively crafted drinks like their Lavender Macaron and Rose Berries tea, where you'll actually want to stay awhile and explore rather than rush off.

This store was such a treat! My mom and I visited while down in Point Loma for the day, and came across this shop after breakfast. The store is very cute, a super cozy atmosphere with SO MANY different choices of loose tea, matcha, and ceramic ware. I was looking to substitute some of the canned Yerba Mate teas for something a little more cost friendly and sustainable. The woman who was there gave me little samples of the loose tea to smell and helped me find the best fit for what I was looking for and I ended up getting the “Minty Mate” and the “Warrior Mate” blends. Ive been drinking the “Minty Mate” in the mornings as a cold brewed tea and it was SO GOOD. It’s light and refreshing without any of the slight bitterness I’d experienced with other Mate blends. I like to add a little bit of lemonade to it when I’m looking for a little tangy sweetness, but it’s also wonderful just cold and straight up without anything added. I would definitely recommend this shop, I love it!!
Love the large selection of tea. The ladies were all so sweet! I think I bought too many teas… lol. Definitely will be back.
Sherry is wonderful! So knowledgeable and fun. I so enjoyed the full tasting experience. I was out in San Diego for a vacation & will definitely be ordering even more tea when I get home. Thank you for a wonderful afternoon. 🫖🫖🫖🫖🫖🫖🫖🫖🫖🫖
Shoutout to Sherry for being the sweetest barista! She was so patient and kind and made amazing drinks for us. Stumbled across this spot with my mom and was blown away by the huge selection of teas. I’ll definitely be coming back to try more of their iced tea flavors. The matcha latte was a standout too—perfectly strong without even having to ask!
We had a very beautiful experience doing their afternoon tea time!! We had tried a few different teas that were just so delicious!! We had the Lavender Macron, Bon Bon, and Rose Berries tea and all were amazing, the staff was very kind and informative on the process and which teas were their favorites. Our hostess Marissa was very sweet and attentive to our tea experience!! She explained all the food that came out and we felt as though we could have anything changed or modified as we needed, but it was such a perfect and smooth experience we didn’t need to change anything!! The food was very good and the perfect amount!! We had another hostess but unfortunately we didn’t catch her name, however she was very lovely and gave us great info on what teas would pair nicely with the savories and the sweets and she was more than right with the teas we received!! We were fortunate to have the room to ourselves and it was a very intimate valentines celebration!! Overall, it was an amazing experience to have and we will be coming back!!
