Tiniest Tea Shop!

Leave a comment

This phrase just occurred to me when I was taking photos to update our Google listing. A kind shopper posted photos of our pre-Covid layout, back when you could really walk around in the shop.

I realized that is misleading to new folks and just uploaded some new inside shots yesterday.

Here they are too:

To Go Drinks available

We may be St Louis’ Tiniest Tea Shop, but Kateri works hard to curate the Best selection of teas.

Somewhere between 100-125 teas available at any given time. We purchase in relatively small quantities to keep our stock the freshest available to us for you.

Offering luxury and hand-crafted teas in small sizes to make them affordable for everyone.

2024 Goal – to find more Farm-Direct teas, helping tea farmers and tea workers to live above the poverty level; and find you some spectacular teas along the way.

In case you did not already know:

  • you can bring your own cup to get $1 off To-Go drinks.
  • we will fill your containers at a lower per ounce price; or you can get teas in brown paper bags and fill your own containers at home [note: if you order online and get 8oz or more, select the cheapest available price and tell us in the notes to pack in paper bags].
  • Tea tins and jars are available for purchase as well

Year 15!

1 Comment

Traveling Tea’s fictitious name renewal is this month. Whenever we talk about how long we’ve been open we say “since 2009” as that was our first Full/Real year in business, however the legal origin is November 2008, and we had our First Farmers’ Market event at the St Louis Community Farmer’s Market in December of 2008 at St John’s Episcopal Church on Arsenal.

That makes this month the beginning of my 15th year Sharing Good Tea in St. Louis (and beyond)! I hope to soon add a slide show here with various shots through the years

Remember those days?

Then, in May 2013 we opened the shop in Maplewood, so we are in the midst of our 10th year here!

Then – and Now

In celebration of our years with you, rather than trying to throw a party (that I’m really rubbish at), for the entire next 12 months, we are gifting you with a discount code good for 15% off most teas (any tea that is in the Black, Green, White, Oolong, and Farm Direct categories). Does not apply to teaware, drinks, or the Tea Calendar.

For online ordering, there will be 10 active coupons each month for 15% off – when ordering online: enter YEAR15 at checkout. After the 10th coupon has been redeemed code will be inactive until the beginning of the following month.

For in store shoppers – Tell us Happy Anniversary and we will apply the coupon code! (Also remind us during checkout, because you know how we get chatty with you and might forget!)

I AM So Very Very Grateful!!! – Kateri
