Velvet Monkey - McMinnville

I'm not typically a tea enthusiast, but after visiting Velvet Monkey, I might just change my mind. The atmosphere is fantastic, and the selection of tea varieties lining the walls is impressive. The customer service is outstanding, and the owners are truly delightful people. I left with several large bags of tea!

What a fantastic tea shop! Richard and Serengeti, the owners of Velvet Monkey, do an excellent job of curating and organizing a wonderful selection of teas for enjoyment on-site or to take home. They offer an impressive range of teaware, tea pots, and accessories. The ambiance is incredibly Zen and soothing. And be sure to try the chocolate truffles—they're absolutely irresistible!

My favorite spot for amazing loose tea blends—and a selection of chocolates too. The staff is always friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend it!

I really hope they stay open. The staff are the nicest people and I hope they're doing well. Great loose-leaf tea and fresh-made tea options. Cool teapots and accessories. Great chocolates and baklava. I recommend their lavender lemonade too, if you're notin the mood for tea.

This hidden gem in Mac should definitely not be a secret! They offer a fantastic selection of loose teas, along with gourmet chocolates. The customer service is excellent—knowledgeable and friendly staff make the experience even better. I highly recommend visiting this place. Give it a try; you won't be disappointed!
