Amazing iced matcha tea; quality matcha with the perfect low level sweetness. The individual who helped me was incredibly kind and willing to offer insight on what matcha (latte vs tea, sweetness level, etc) would be what I wanted. I’d been walking by after a workout class and it was a calm, welcoming, and warm space to grab a little bit of caffeine in a low-stimulating place after a high-stimulation class. The environment and staff make this a spot I’ll return to.

I write this review as I sip on the GABA oolong for the umpteenth time this week. I have been a customer of this business all the way back to their Macha tea house days. Their tea selection is impeccable and the treats and ready made teas they offer are delicious and delightfully unique. Even though I am no longer a resident of Madison, I always come back because I have not found anything like this anywhere else. Thank you Rachel and Anthony for continuing to pour your love into your craft.

Amazed by what I found inside! The golden milk latte was delicious and felt really healing and authentic. Not to mention the knickknacks they had from throughout Asia were so cute!

Best tea in Madison and beyond. We have a few of their incredible imported green teas at home and would never go anywhere else even for simpler teas like earl grey or chamomile. Best chai/matcha lattes (hot and cold) and friendly, awesome staff. We love this business!

This tea shop is beautiful inside and a good place to purchase high-quality tea to brew at home. I purchased some GYOKURO and Hojicha to take home and they are both phenomenal. My one issue with this place is that I went there looking forward to having tea in the shop, but all the seats were taken, and when I asked if I could stand in the shop and enjoy the tea, I was told that I could not. So, if there are no seats available, one is required to have takeout tea, which is not a very ideal nor welcoming experience. I would like to persuade the shop to do things differently! Their argument for why I couldn’t hang out and stand and drink my tea was that they needed room for people to shop their wares (I.e teapots etc). And their wares are wonderful and beautiful! But why not let people hang out and drink their tea even if it is a little crowded? I was in Japan recently and was in many a crowded teahouse. The atmosphere in these teahouses was convivial and welcoming. I was actually kind of shocked when I was told I had to just leave with my tea and to have it in a paper cup as opposed to a real cup in the shop. And I would’ve been much more likely to buy an expensive tea set or any number of the beautiful items that were on display if I had been allowed to relax and enjoy my tea in the shop whilst perusing them. This part of the experience was very off putting to me.
