great atmosphere, great tea accessories, not great teaI was given $100 dollars to spend at this tea shop and I was so excited. I spent around $85 dollars on tea and the rest on accessories. While the accessories were great, the tea was not. The thing is the teas are more aromatic than they are robust in taste. I followed the instructions on the bag on how to brew the teas but they tasted like nothing. One of them actually gave me an allergic reaction. I tried different ways to brew/make it but they all turned out tasteless or gross. Very disappointed and I don't think I will be buying tea here again.

Very nice tea shop. They also have coffee, but tea is the main attraction. The staff was very friendly and the location is very pretty. Would go there regularly if we lived in the area.

I’m so glad I was able to visit the Simpson & Vail store! I have ordered from them online a few times and receive their catalog, so it was so exciting to go there in person and see all their teas available. Pam was incredibly friendly and helpful, and even offered recommendations for things for us to do in the area. I left with a ton of great teas for both myself and for family gifts. I hope to return in the future but am also glad that they offer shipping for when I run out! My personal favorites are the White Chocolate Peppermint, the Carrot Cake Cupcake and the Blueberry Cinnamon Crumble.

We drove in from Pennsylvania on our way to Cape cod. I’ve been receiving your catalogs for years and took the opportunity to stop as it was right on our way. The teas are absolutely fabulous and there are samples to smell and a tea “ bible “to browse through to make the perfect selection for you. I’ve also purchased the coffee online and they are superior! Kona blend is my husband’s favorite. So glad we stopped ?

I️ spent about 2 hours at the Simpson and vail shop because there is SO much to see and smell. The owners Joan and son Jim helped me personally figure out the best decaf black teas and helped me pick some new ones to try out. The amazing thing is you can buy as small as 1oz of tea for a couple bucks. It gives you 10-12 cups and allows you to try a variety of teas. They hand measure everything on a scale from the 1930s!I’ve seriously become a lifelong fan and will be returning to this tea company again and again to try new teas and test out some of their coffees. It will be via online order as I️ am just visiting the area. I’m so glad that I️ visited because it’s such a treat to smell the different teas and see the variety.Joan recommended circling in the catalog the ones that I’ve tried. I’ve starred the ones that I️ want to try!Their blueberry crumble rooibos is award winning and I️ can’t stop drinking it, it’s so amazing. I️m going to stop by again right before we leave the area and buy more of the blueberry and then buy some other teas and flavored coffees to try out.I’m such a fan of family owned, small businesses. This is definitely one I️ will continue supporting.

If you like tea, it is a must to go there. It is my go-to for tea and accessories. The best blends and always a great cup.

I got tea delivered for a school project. I got a 100 on that project. Timely delivery and great teas.
I have shopped online with Simpson and Vail several times. They have an amazing selection of top quality teas. Their custom blends are very carefully designed- for instance the National Parks blends feature ingredients of each area. Nice teaware and specialty food items Excellent customer service and prompt delivery.

The absolute best tea I have ever had! Excellent blends, exceptional customer service, freshness of ingredients; I can't say enough good things about Simpson and Vail! If you haven't tried their tea you are missing out!!!

I have shopped both at the shop, where folks are always helpful and pleasant, and by mail. I was sorry to hear of the death of Mr. Harron as he had helped us several times when we were in house
