This year has been hard on all of us, but in particular, hard on small local businesses. We try to support as many small businesses we can and I would like to share some of my local favorites just in time for the holidays! Please consider making your holiday shopping exclusive to small local businesses! Even if you're not purchasing their teas, they have great extra merchandise as well!
First up - Tea Zaanti! Quaint, yummy, great staff! They even offer tea classes!
This delicious little tea shop has one of the best tea selections I've ever seen! My personal favorite is their white tea selection and they have a wonderful Bai Hao Silver Needle white tea. Check them out!
You can order teas online via their website: https://www.teazaanti.com/
Next amazing tea shop is - The Tea Grotto!
The ambience here is stellar and I am always finding a new tea curtesy of their wonderful tea staff! The aromas are delightful!
I love bringing various loose leaf teas home to share with friends and family. When dining in, you can get pot service and I like to splurge on a flowering tea!

Alright this spot really is one of the best in the city! The Salt Lake City Roasting Co. offers a multitude of delicious teas and coffees! Please check out their online store!
As everyone knows, I am a sucker for brightly lit, sunny places and this spot has a great balcony with large open windows in front. Unfortunately, I haven't been back during COVID-19 because it is usually crowded inside but we do indulge in their coffee and teas that we order online and enjoy in the comfort of our own home! I really like their Japanese Sencha tea and their Jasmine Green Tea. They also have a large array of yummy herbal teas if you want to check those out too! My husbands loves their bold coffee!

I had to include my absolute favorite tea shop, both when ordering teas and for the in-person experience in Kansas City - the Tea Market! They even have a Tea of the Month Club...how can you not love a place that promotes a club specifically for tea lovers?! I absolutely cannot miss this quaint tea shop whenever I visit the city!
Their high-end esthetic, customer service and attention to detail make the whole tea experience perfect! I love supporting this small business and being able to indulge in so many of their delicious teas! A few of my favorites are Berry Wellness (full of antioxidants and caffeine), Bora Bora (a strong, bold black tea), and Dandelion Detox (Oolong with cinnamon hints). They are even offering care packages to special order for the holidays - how convenient for the tea lover in your life! You must order from here!

I hope you splurge on lots of teas from local tea shops for yourself and your loved ones this holiday season, and of course continuing into the new year! Happy Holidays!
