Whimsy Tea & Gifts

Nice little place. Staff are friendly. They sell ornaments, tea and other stuff. This place is located in old town. This is a great place to buy souvenirs if you're only gonna be in Albuquerque. However, if your trip included Santa Fe, then buy your souvenirs there because they're cheaper- like 50% cheaper.

Cute shop with lots of fun gifts, crystals/stones, tea, and knickknacks. Very happy with the set of blank cards I bought and the customer service was excellent! We sampled some tea and it was delicious.

What a fun and beautiful shop! So many soul satisfying gifts and items. Loose tea blends, jewelry, loose crystals, tarot, state specific gifts, and so much more! Prices are reasonable and shop is clean and inviting. The owner is very friendly. I'd definitely recommend this store.

I'm glad that we stuck around Old Town ABQ a little longer. Aside from the main square area there are a lot of good finds if you just follow some slightly less beaten paths. Whimsy Tea is one of them; it takes some walking to get to their area but it's definitely well worth it. I was drawn in by the free tea tastings because I love free and I like tea. When I walked in, I assumed it would be like the tastings I've had where they do a spiel about it. I was happy to find out it was low pressure, they featured a green, black and herbal and you could taste on your own. I browsed the store a little before trying out the tea and it's definitely very femme-centric. I am obviously not of that gender but I appreciated the pop-culture mash ups, art references and local art stuff. I tried their tea-also named after various female characters and tropes and their Princess Pea green tea with wild strawberries was delicious! When I try teas with fruit flavors it's either super weak, if it's there at all or IN YOUR FACE with flavor injection. This tea was neither, it was balanced well with a sweetness that wasn't overpowering but you could actually taste the berries as well. I bought a tin of it and when I checked out was told they sell online and on Amazon, so even though I've tried to hold onto the tea as long as possible I know I can order more.
