Aroma Tea Shop

What a gem! Such a great experience today. The man working let us sample different teas and suggested options. Got some great green tea, jasmine green tea, and mint. Will definitely be back for me!

5/5 Stars. I like this Tea shop the most, because it is clean, and the tea experts here have all of the different types of teas already organized. Also, this shop is one of the best, because the person who is a master in teas working here, always let you sample the best choices of teas, before you pick, and make a decision to purchase, or to buy. Their teas are better than most coffee. And Haymen, the master in teas, is very knowledgeable in the process of brewing and making tea. I tried taking a few sips, and sample the smell offered by the tea experts here, and I have found Haymen to be a very good tea master. This is the reason why I like Haymen, the tea master working at this shop, because Haymen truly know which teas are the best, and I highly recommend Haymen, the tea master here, because he is helpful, and is knowledgeable about every teas and tastes. You will discover immunity boost and health benefits just by talking and asking questions to Haymen, the Tea Master, the Master of all Tea Leaves at this shop.

Well, it's been a long time coming for me to review this place. We stumbled across this due to being in the area and visiting 6th Ave Aquarium and Burma Superstar. The first time we came, it was great. Haymon was there and was a fantastic person to talk to. He informed us that we could get a sample of tea and detailed how he was to prepare it for the best taste. Their wide selection left us smelling many and walking out with some quite nice teas even if it was on the pricier side. We signed up for their rewards program as we thought we'd be coming here for a long time to support the local business.The next time we came in about a month, a lady was there rather than Haymon. As we have came here before and got the free tea sample last time that is also listed on a sign above one of their doors and on the yelp page, we assumed we could do it again to see what we enjoyed. We were told they don't do that anymore. While we still ended up getting some loose hojicha, Jasmine, and lapsang souchong, this experience left a bad taste in our mouths. Later on, because we were part of the rewards program and promotional emails, there was an email that stated that if you came in, you could get a free tea infused chocolate candy bar while supplies last. Nowhere on the promo did it say you needed to purchase something to get this promo. We assumed that it's because we signed up for the news letter, it was a special treat for those in the know.We go in and the lady is there once again. We see that there are in fact still chocolate bars in stock. We inquire about the promo and show it to her. She tells me "it says with purchase". I spend 5 minutes scouring the promo and don't see it. I inquire again and ask where she sees "with purchase" within the promo are told that it's with purchase only in a pretty sour tone. The annoyed tone really threw us off and made us uncomfortable to purchase or even smell anything so we just left. We didn't even try asking this time for the tea tasting because she told us last time they don't do it anymore. These past two instances turned us off completely from this shop for the attitude and customer service skills from the lady. We really wanted to support this tea shop but instead, we'll be taking our business elsewhere.Note to the shop: if you don't do tea tastings anymore, remove the sign, take it off your yelp, take it off your website. If you still do tea tastings, then be consistent. Offering it to select guests or based on how you feel leaves a terrible feeling.

The tea shop carries a variety of delicious teas. If you enjoy drinking good tea, this is the place to go for some great and full-flavored teas. The owner is very welcoming and has a lot of suggestions for you, depending on your palette. I also loved that he has the blossoming teas. He also has a tea-tasting table, which is awesome and greaserve people who visit the store.

Self care is important, and over the past few years, a major part of my self care has been the Really Good Earl Grey tea from Aroma. They have so many other good teas also, but I keep coming back to the Really Good Early Grey. Additionally, the friendly and knowledgeable staff have helped me find gifts for family.

Great service, awesome tea, and the owner is very personable, and knowledgeable about his teas. I now go to him all the time and I get something new each time.

Gem of a tea shop. Surprisingly wide selection of quality loose leaf teas, ranging from green teas to oolongs and pu er teas. Canisters of teas are labeled clearly. Some teas also include the year it is from, as the aging of certain teas enhances the flavor. Like some good wines and scotches. Knowledgeable and helpful staff to help you with making choices. Don't be dissuaded by the prices on the containers because nobody buys teas by the pound. One ounce goes a long way for tea, making everyone affordable. Have fun here.

I'm confused by this. I received a box of tea, and I opened it up to find no labeling and the bags aren't sealed. (The writing you see in silver is me guessing by scent)Is this how it's usually done? Because in photographs I see online the teabags each in their own sealed bag.

My favorite tea shop in the US and top 5 in the world. Pre-Covid, my wife and I would drive from SoCal to San Francisco to spend an afternoon tasting teas. The quaint shop in SF Chinatown (now closed) had chairs and tables for tea tasting. They have hundreds of loose teas. They ask what type of teas you like - oolong, jasmine, green, white. They bring out some teas to steep, taste and compare. For me, I'm an oolong tea lover. I chose Monkey picked Oolong and Lychee Oolong. They also have a large assortment of tumblers and teapots and teacups. DJ's rating: 5.00/5.00Would I come back? Definitely Yes.

Visiting from out of town, I heard that a visit to Aroma Tea Shop was a must. I'm so happy my friend and I stopped! We were treated to tastings of several teas and learned about proper brewing and sipping to get the full aroma and tasting experience. Don't miss this gem of a tea shop, it's a must for tea lovers and novices alike.
