Nifty little locally owned business that sells a pretty large variety of tea and coffee. The guy working there was friendly, and the selection was great. They also have loose leaf and bag tea, so there is something for everyone. Be aware if you come on the weekend it wont be easy to find parking.

Huge and great selection of tea, both loose leaf and tea bags. I do wish they would clearly label any allergens in their bulk loose leaf teas. Some teas are questionable for milk ingredients (like dark chocolate or caramel which sometimes contain dairy) so I just have to take my best guess. Overall i love the tasty mixes, I’m always able to find good flavors for fruity iced herbal teas and even seasonal teas like warm/spicy flavors for autumn/winter.

No. 1 spot for coffee and tea. They have a marvelous selection and it changes frequently, whilst keeping the classics. Small, smells divine, scoop your own beans kind of shop.Friendly cashiers who always know what you want, and grind beans to whatever your need. Fun treats, odds and ends for kids and grown ups alike.

I took my mother to this wonderful tea place that I went to once before. From the start everything was so wonderful the 2 store clerks working the floor helped me an my mom get around. My mother who is british felt so warmly welcomed an she felt like she was home again. I have never seen her so happy before until today she had a smile a mile wide and couldnt stop giggling like a little girl again. On the way home we couldnt stop talking about how amazing this place is. For anyone looking for a wonderful little tea place Walnut street is the place to go!!Will definitely be going again

I love this shop. It has a great selection of teas, accessories, candies, etc. They also have coffee but I’m not a coffee drinker so I can’t say much about their selection in that. All the employees I’ve interacted with pre- and post- pandemic have been super helpful and respectful. When I’ve ordered online they have been super responsive. I highly recommend getting your teas here.

I may live an hour away but this is my new tea spot. I found an Irish Cream tea that I had been searching for for over a year, and there it was! A lot of box/bagged teas, but a good selection of loose leaf teas as well. They have really cute mugs and tea accessories. And even high grade matcha. Love it here!

Excellent place for tea and coffrr. Tea comes in bags or bulk. You can get the real high end teas hear or the more economical ones. Their bulk tea is very good quality and very reasonably priced. They will grind the coffee for you. Lots of accessories and European snacks. Very friendly staff. I like to visit this store every time Im in town.

Walnut Street Tea Company is a delight in downtown Champaign which gets better every day. They sell teas, coffees, chocolates and an assortment of ups and kitchen utensils hard to find in supermarkets, all housed in a quaint corner storefront. Its a visual feast as well as a treat for the olfactory senses. Visit and experience it for yourself.

Review №41

The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. Its not hard to find what you are looking for and the loose tea and coffee are all excellent. They tend to use smaller suppliers who seem to be more conscious of what is in their products (at least for the bulk goods).

Looks like a great little shop but they dont allow paying customers to use their restroom, they told my friend that they didnt have a restroom.We paid a parking meter enough with plans of spending some time shopping but we had to leave before we were able to see everything

Review №46

The store has the biggest assortment of teas and brands I have ever seen. I even found some old favorites that I thought were no longer sold and some favorites from when I resided in London that I thought were not sold in the U.S. I was very impressed by their selection, but I do wish they had a cafe so you could sit down and sample some of their own teas (or the sample selections for brands) before committing to buying a package of it. I would be thrilled if there was a tea room near me and would visit often.

Review №47

Good selection of teas and coffees as well as a lot of British and European chocolates and cookies. There are a lot of things you can find at a grocery store for much less but there are a few things you cant get anywhere else in town. The staff is pleasant.

Extremely nice staff with a great selection and knowledge of the products available. Loose leaf tea, coffee beans, and sachets of tea in MANY varieties. Whether you just want to try a a single sachet, or to stock up with boxes/bags; they have many different options for any need...plus honey, candy/chocolates, and many tea brewing accessories.Personally, I stick with mostly herbals. Was able to find a canister of healing Milk Thistle tea, and a Green Rooibos variation of my favorite bedtime tea that I didnt even know existed. Excited to try those later this evening! Huge thanks to the people who run this shop for their hospitality in helping to spread access to these body and mind healing beverages~

I love it! This place offers a nice selection of tea, bagged and loose alike. You can get prepackaged canisters/boxes or you can fill a plastic bag with tea from a jar on a shelf. You can also get coffee in bags or in bulk. They also have teapots and various brewing apparatus. My favorite thing about this place is that I can buy tea in small quantities, so I can brew teas that would be entirely out or my price range if I were to buy, say, four ounces of it.

Nestled into the corner of a quasi-flatiron building, this place should not be missed. I rarely drink tea, but happened to discover it while working in a neighboring storefront. The staff was warm and welcoming, and the aromas in the store are enough to make anyone a regular tea drinker.
