The tea is delicious, there are so many different kinds to choose from, the workers are so nice and knowledgeable, and the pricing is so unbelievably reasonable it feels like I'm robbing them. Cannot recommend highly enough!

It's hard to describe how great Gryphon's Tea is. The time and passion that goes into selection is evident in every product. A wide selection of traditional teas, some hard to find products in the States, and unique blends make Gryphon's a stand out experience. Combine that with the warm and welcoming staff, it's a hard to beat store.

The lovely person working helped me find the exact blend I wanted for a gift (and something for myself). Better quality and price than the big brand version I had been buying. Ill definitely be back!

We had a delightful evening tea with excellent recommendations for our differing tastes. When asked for a recommendation on whether I should have milk or not, Diana said oat milk and then unexpectedly frothed it for me.Then......an hour after closing, I realized I had left my phone inside. I messaged Gryphon's and Diana came back to let me in. She opened the door with a smile, not annoyance. Thank you for the lovely tea and help!

Truly a bright ray of sunshine on a dark day! This tea shop is delightful and has the most fantastic, caring, and enthusiastic team members. I was helped by Josh today, and their recommendation truly helped change my day for the better! A warm cup of tea, a kind smile, and some positivity can change the world, and y’all are changing the world here every day one encounter at a time!

Wonderful place I just came across! Good prices, delicious tea (I got an iced one + some loose leaf tea for at home, and everything is mixed in house), and the two workers there when I dropped by were both lovely and helpful. ❤️

This place was fabulous! Owners were so sweet and had a great vibe. So many types of tea, they were so knowledgeable in all of them! Free smells, and all of the smells are delicious. I picked up 3 oz. of a vanilla rooibos that was so good. Had instructions printed out on the package to best serve and enjoy. I appreciated that!Kid-friendliness: So sweet to the kids and dogs!

Fantastic tea shop! Terrific variety, and the owner is incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and patient. I've been trying to cut down on caffeine, and she mentioned a rooibos tea; when I said that I really didn't care for the taste of rooibos, she asked me if I knew about green rooibos - and I hadn't. It tastes completely different from red rooibos, and it's the basis of two tea blends that I bought to try - Citrus Rose (lovely, and well balanced) and Lemon Tisane (which is so delicious that I suspect I'll be drinking it daily from now on). As another reviewer mentioned, you can buy any quantity of tea, and each bag is marked with the water temperature and the steeping time that tea requires. (Please realize that this is primarily a shop that sells tea and herbs; it's not a sit down place.)
Everyone is so nice that and the line so long that I thought that I was just ordering the wrong thing. Every single drink I've gotten has been worse than the last. Today was the last straw! I couldn't even force myself to drink it. Just beyond disappointing... On a hot day wanting a cold bevi and getting purple vinegar was terrible. I really tried to like what was being sold (pea kombucha) - but it only got more disgusting with each sip. Moments after I gave up, I watched acouple throw their full cups of the same purple icy drink. The mohito was too bitter and too sweet, ewe. Every flavor combination I've tried has been horrible. Literally everything I have tried from the watery flavorless ice coffee to the miserable shrub is unpalatable. This was my last try - I just can't believe how gross this last one was.

Love the tea varieties here. Recently got into fresh brewing and I love trying all the new flavors. Brian is great and also makes an awesome matcha in the store!

Great selection of exotic teas at a very low price. Picked up some Pu-erh while in town and regret not getting more--best Pu-erh I've had!

Every single tea we bought was either tasteless or tasted old/dusty when we got home. They might have issues with quality control when no one buys certain teas for years.The prices were reasonable, the selection was great, the shop looks neat and clean, and for $3, you can get a hot cup of any tea they have. (Not sure if milk/nondairy milk/sugar, etc are available)They have all kinds of spices available too, including hard-to-find ones, like Eyebright. It would've been nice to be able to smell all the teas oneself. Some teas I did smell smelled pretty old. Hygiene and steeping knowledge/ability were concerns with ordering hot tea: the staff way over-handled the tea 'bag', wringing it into a knot for a couple of minutes while chatting, and then dropping the whole thing in the cup of hot water. Then when even after a few minutes the water was still clear, and I mentioned it, the gentleman said that it was supposed to be like that because it was a weak tea. (Not the case.)There wasn't much for teapots or teacups or other paraphernalia - guess they sold out of everything over Christmas.There wasn't anywhere to sit, inside or out.

I love this tea shop! It's a bit out of the way for me to come here from the North Hills, but it's always worth the trip. There are so many spice blend options to choose from and the staff is always very helpful in explaining anything about the teas.The teas are reasonably priced and they have a good variety of options from white, black, rooibos, green, oolong, matcha, etc. You can choose any blend they have and how much you want. I got a few 2 oz bags. Each bag has a specific label for that tea, telling you what is the best temperature to steep the tea at and for how long. I love this!On this trip, I got a snickerdoodle rooibos (it smells so good!), cherry rose sencha, and a ginger Peach black tea.If you don't like to make your own tea, they also sell it by the cup too!
