Queen's Pantry Teas

We were greeted promptly when we arrived, the employees were very nice and helpful. They had a wonderful selection of teas and other imported goods that are hard to find, plus lots of adorable teacups and mugs!

If you're in Leavenworth, Kansas you MUST stop in for a visit! Immediately upon entering I was greeted with a friendly hello and an offer of their current tea samples. They had two hot and one iced. Before I even entered too far into the quaint shop, Kim mentioned tea samples--not just to drink but a small bag of loose leaf. She was the sweetest--in my conversation with her while I entered the store, I said I had just checked in on Yelp. Yelp said something about an ounce (seems like too much to just give away...), the samples were less than that, but I didn't mind, I thought it was cool they even did that--she ended up letting me choose two--so hard to decide when the two I chose sounded delicious!They have a fantastic array of teas: black, herbal, tisanes, green to name a few of their loose leaf teas. They also have an assortment of boxed/tin of teas too and from various companies. I tried the iced one they were sampling (Strawberry & Vanilla) from London Fruit & Herb Company. It was so refreshing I bought a box!I told Kim I was hosting a small afternoon tea for my Mum's birthday and she had some wonderful ideas! Not only for the teas from which to choose, but also some noshes to pair with them. While loading my arms with all the goodness, Kailee popped over and offered a basket for my finds! Thank you!!Everyone there is friendly and knowledgeable. Case in point, after having tried the iced tea, i asked out to make it with correct proportions of tea:water:ice, to which Kim supplied not only a verbal answer, but also gave me a card with brewing directions! Hooray! I love dropping by, at the very least to see if they have anything new, but also because they're a local company that has loose leaf teas--seems hard to procure sometimes.Queen's Pantry offers a variety of British fare and beautiful cups/mugs and accoutrements to help either a newbie to loose leaf teas or a long-time connoisseur.Not sure how it happened, but I let with more than just new to me loose leaf teas! **wink wink**

Queen's Pantry is a little gem in downtown Leavenworth. They offer a huge selection of tea, mugs, candy, scone mix, and other items, as well as samples of their tea of the day. I'm new to loose-leaf tea, so I chose several one-ounce packages to try, though they offer much larger packages if you know what you like. I have loved all the tea I've tried so far and am looking forward to stopping back in to try new flavors.

One of the things that the internet and big box stores have taken away from us is the experience of shopping and the personal touch that comes with a small business. The store owners curate their own selections of products they have an attachment too, and it shows in the way they have a knowledge about everything on their shelves. I've often been disappointed by grabbing English tea from a big box store or online only to find out it wasn't quite what I wanted. At Queen's Tea, I didn't have to worry about that for a second. The smells and the ability to look over and just browse for what immediately sat with me was worth it in comparison to buying something I would later decide I didn't like. Is it better to pay a small amount more locally to get something you will use 100% of, or to save money, buy something online and then discover it isn't what you wanted and you're going to end up throwing it out? This is easy math for anyone who wants to get the most for their budget.The groceries, knick knacks and other items make the entire visit a blast. If you love tea or just want the experience, GO! Enjoy yourself.

This is the best place in the greater Kansas City area to buy tea and tea accessories. They offer you a sample tea when you walk in. They will give you the recipe if it is not a straight tea. They gave me a magnet that had instructions on how to brew your best cup of tea ever. If you are of English, Scottish, or Irish decent you will find fun items suitable to displaying your heritage. They sell a wide variety of loose teas. There is a small selection of UK specific groceries that you might miss while in the states. This is a great place to buy gifts for the tea drinker in your life.

A very nice variety of teas and the opportunity to sample some too. The shop is full of cute mugs, teas and food from all over. A fun little shop!

I love tea. Good tea. The Queen's Pantry delivers in the tea department. Support your local tea shop!

While visiting my family in Lansing I was told about this shop. What a great find. The owners were more than helpful in getting me what I needed and answering all my questions. So much to see and taste. Planning another trip to this shop before I leave.

Love this place. All of their teas are wonderful and you can get them in various sized bags. They also sell cute tea Knick knacks and treats to bake at home. I come here quiet often!

Such a great tea store! They have a huge variety of loose leaf teas, as well as boxed teas, and there staff is very well versed on all the different kinds of teas. They often are releasing seasonal teas and new things. They have a great variety of gifts, tea accessories, British groceries, candies, and much more. Overall, it's a very adorable shop, wonderful staff, and the best tea. Love this place, highly recommend.
