Chelmsford Tea & Gifts

First, the store has relocated from Wichita to a small town of Whitewater, ten or fifteen mile north of Wichita. I must admit that I am somewhat of a tea snob. Thus, I am picky about my tea. This shop carries a good quality of tea. Their blinder, who I am guessing is not in house, is very knowledgeable. The prices are quite reasonable, especially considering the quality.The staff I have met are very cordial and ready to serve. The store is very small. More than three people would make it cramped. I believe, which does not make it fact, that the balk of their business is online orders. The only reason I gave four stars rather than five is because the store hours are very limited, only a couple days a week. And because of the store's location, somewhat out of the way.

The new owner has done wonders for this shop!!! The personal customer service is amazing! The choice of teas is overwhelming but every one of them is fantastic. I ordered numerous teas from this shop from out of state & the delivery was fast & secure. The owner was so accommodating & helpful. If you want a perfect gift or a great cup of tea, go to Chelmsford Tea & Gifts!!!

The best selection of loose leaf tea in Wichita! They have over 200 flavors of loose leaf and many teas of the bagged variety (Stash, Republic of Tea, etc) as well as a variety of different infusing options from presses to tea pots. Recently the new manager has made the sitting area much more inviting as well so it's actually nice to come in and have a cup of tea! Locally owned and staffed with tea lovers :)

Lovely little shop. Great selection of tea and staff is extremely helpful and knowledgeable. Definitely one of my go to places for tea.

The workers there are great! They helped me with everything that I needed, and they had two teas of the day that I was able to try for free, which both were fantastic. I really recommend this tea shop for any tea lover.

Fantastic variety of teas, and any accessories you may need to make it! I was blown away with the wall to wall selection and I have been a regular for a while now. They are always bringing in new kinds according to season and they never disappoint because they will sample it for you if you are on the fence about a selection!

As someone who has also purchased tea from Teavana, a place that prides itself in quality products with high prices to match, I will tell you to save your money and just go to Chelmsford. In a city like Wichita, Chelmsford is that rare hidden gem that truly provides high quality products with great service. Their tea is also all certified organic with naturally derived flavors...all for a fraction of the cost of Teavana (seriously, two ounces at Teavana cost me $20...the same tea at Chelmsford was $7!). The atmosphere of Chelmsford is great too, especially since the staff is extremely knowledgeable and puts on numerous entertaining tea tasting events throughout the year for all of us tea lovers. And did I mention the "Tea of the Day"? All it takes is a purchase of a Chelmsford mug and you get to taste TWO different teas every day for the whole year. I have experienced so many new teas I never would have tried and it's so fun to see my favorite employees every day!Other things you can experience at Chelmsford:1) Fresh hot tea! Brew a cup or a pot and hang out with your friends for a while. Also you can get free samples while you shop.2) A HUGE selection of loose leaf and "Republic of Tea" teas. The staff is also great about recommendations3) Follow them! On Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc. You can find out what the Tea of the Day is in advance and also get coupons and find out about sales.4) Get tea shipped right to you! They do online ordering and direct delivery.I've been getting my tea at Chelmsford for over four years now and I've never been disappointed. I'll be coming back for many years in the future!

Friendly, knowledgeable staff.Good selection.Good quality.Prices for tea are good, but other accessories seem a bit high.

Best place in Wichita for tea. They are so knowledgeable and helpful. Been buying their mugs for the last 4 years and each year, the experience of going in all year to visit with the staff and taste, then take tea with me....it's a simple pleasure I enjoy. Great location and I know they do a good business online. I hope they continue to do well. Such a pleasure to have them in Wichita.
