Traveling Tea started as “traveling tea shop” at St. Louis Community Farmers’ Market and Tower Grove Farmers’ Market.  In May 2013 we opened a “brick and mortar” location at 2707 Sutton Blvd in Maplewood, MO 63143, where we sell ALL our available teas, tea brewing accessories, and make cups of tea “to go” – including matcha or tea lattes, and real milk teas…tea infused directly in coconut, oat, or dairy milk making a creamy, rich, satisfying brew.

At our first market we had 12 different tea varieties/flavors.  Now, in 2023 offering more than 100 black, green, white, oolong, puehr, and herbal teas and blends.  Approximately 90% of our selection is organic, and around 25% of that is Fair Trade or Direct Trade (meaning the workers are better able to make a living).  We also have at least a dozen of our own custom blends. It is possible we may have the largest selection of herbal and decaf teas in the St. Louis area (short of a dedicated herbalist).

Traveling Tea is 100% locally woman-owned and operated by Kateri Meyer.  It is Not a franchise.  Traveling Tea was nurtured and “given birth to” by Kateri Meyer in December of 2008

We specialize in making the highest quality loose-leaf teas affordable to all – you can purchase as little as 1 cup worth (in our trial sizes) or as much as a pound (larger quantities available, give us a call first) – and various sizes in-between 1 oz, 2 oz, 4 oz.  You CAN enjoy variety without overstocking your pantry with teas you don’t drink regularly.

Kateri’s Most frequently asked question: “How did you get started selling tea?”

I kept wanting to see a good tea shop in St. Louis and when I would mention it to others, they would say “Why don’t you start one”.  So, here we are – in our 14th year.

We offer in-home or on-site tea tasting parties (have done several for church and library groups), as well as providing freshly brewed tea at other public venues and events.  Please consider us when planning weddings and social gatherings of all sorts.

I look forward to meeting you somewhere in my travels.
