Firstly, the teas are absolutely amazing! MAGIC HOUR TEAS popped up ad a Facebook ad and I decided to click on it and I'm so glad I did. Watched a few videos and browsed the website. Sooooooo many options! I initially ordered the Chakra collection along with two other flavors. The scent is intoxicating and the flavors are out of this world! I knew I wanted to buy more for myself, so I decided to take a little road trip to Ohji! I figured this would be the perfect opportunity to stop by the salon since I was planning on visiting family in Bakersfield. I'm so glad I did! The store is beautiful! The energy is peaceful and calm. So inviting! When I walked in, J****** was assisting a couple and she was so kind and friendly to the couple she was helping. After she finished gift wrapping their order and said their goodbyes, she assisted me with the same kind and friendly demeanor. I had a list of about 17 teas that I wanted and J****** was so helpful, walking all over the store gathering the teas on my list. She also offered me their tea of the day, which was Ruby (delicious). I did try to order the entire Gem collection, but that's something that has to be done online. I attempted to do so but was having an issue placing the order. J****** was kind enough to take down my information and said she would have customer service reach out to me to assist me with fulfilling the rest of my order. My entire experience was an above and beyond experience and I'm sure anyone who becomes a patron will have the same experience. Once J****** rounded up my teas, I asked if she had any suggestions that she thinks I would enjoy. She recommended "Queen of the South: Divinely Delicious Coco Detox Tea for The Bold and Brilliant." I'll be trying that, right after this review! I also asked if she could recommend a delicious tea that has Butterfly Pea Flower, since my aunt saw a post of mine on Facebook and fell in love with the color! J****** recommended "Queen of Wellness: Women's Vitalitea." My aunt absolutely loves the tea and has reached out to me, twice, to tell me so! Thank you, J******! I'm a supporter of small business, women owned businesses, minority owned businesses, and business that put out good energy. So, becoming a patron of this business was no brainer. If you have a chance, check out the website and watch some videos. Zhena is a riot when she is making her tea concoctions! You will definitely feel her good vibes! Her energy is authentic and you will feel that the same good energy is put into her product and company, as a whole! read more

See all

The address was indicated wrong. We walked all the way there and the building was shut down. Such a pity and waste of time. Been looking to checking it out. read more

Drove a ridiculous amount of miles to get here before they closed and they had locked their door and disappeared to the back. Please stop hiring children, people don't like their time wasted. They wouldn't even answer their phones for like the last 45 minutes before closing. We got there at exactly 5:55pm. Not a minute later or sooner. All of your staff had left the floor to the back and had locked the doors. We waited around for over 10 minutes while knocking, banging on your doors and calling the store. Not a single person came to see what all the noise was about or answered the phone. Please check your cameras, don't just take your staffs word for it. You have the means to prove that they were lying to you. We knew exactly what we needed too and it would have been a quick in and out. If they had answered their phones, we would have asked if they could gather the teas for us so we wouldn't have had to walk around and take longer than necessary. Complete garbage the amount of time your staff wasted. I'll be heading to all the other sites to leave appropriate feedback as well. read more

I got the BAD feminine vibes on my first visit twice as I was ready to pay. The first was when I was going to order tea for two. I waited patiently as someone infront of me seemed to be having an issue that it took 4-5 employees to help her. It suddenly got awkward when they all started chatting away n never acknowledged me. I pretended not to be bothered by it but this conversation was not ending any time soon. I was treating my husband for his bday so it really felt awkward as he waited behind me. Suddenly they all left n the Hispanic lady w the curly hair stayed and she looked at me like , what? I had to announce to her that I was going to order something. I'm not just standing there for nothing! I tipped the minimum which probably upset her more. After we had tea I decided to buy a couple more things n again the girl w the curly hair gave me the most unwelcoming rudest attitude. Even my husband mentioned something about it. I brushed it off n told him maybe she's not having a good day. Man this left me leaving w icky vibes. Don't think I want to done here again. read more

I ordered two teas from Magic Hour to try them out. First of all, the marketing is flawless. The owner knows what she's doing. It came in a "Box of Magic" with accompanying reading material on tea brew times and astrological signs. On point. Now for the teas: The Pisces tea which turns three different shades of blue was a delight to brew, with fabulous aromas, but the taste was a big bland. It smelled better than it tasted. You'd have to add cream and sugar to make it better. I have to say I love the color and will look into other teas with the same blue Japanese pea flower. The Lucid Dreams tea was their herbal version of their coconut chai. It did it's job to relax me and help me sleep. I do remember my dreams and hope to continue and see if at some point they will be lucid. :) the taste is like chai without the sweetness, and while it was good, it didn't taste extraordinary. Conclusion: I have to say I do love the idea of Magic Hour teas, have watched the videos on the website and truly enjoyed their vision. While great quality teas, it was overpriced. I can't see myself paying $66 for tea no matter how cute that Pisces jar is. However, being ever the optimist, I plan to return and find the tea that'll make me swoon from this magical place. Will update when I do. Tip: they will have free shipping and send offers of you subscribe via email. read more

We were in Ojai for my best friend's bachelorette weekend and we made a tea time reservation at Magic Hour through Resy. The tea time includes tea and a platter of little sandwiches and pastries. When filling out our party information, I added gluten free for my own dietary restriction and shared the reservation with my friend so she could add vegan for her dietary restriction. We had two more girls in the party who had no dietary restrictions. When the waitress came by, I confirmed that I am gluten free and that my friend sitting across from me is vegan. When they brought out the food, it was all gluten free and all vegan. Soon after, we realized and told the waitress that two of the girls wanted the regular option and had not selected the vegan or gluten free options. After a lot of back and forth with the chef, she ultimately said there was nothing she could do. We asked how much it would cost to order an extra tea time service platter and she informed us that it would be an additional $110 (which is the price for 2 more complete experiences). We requested to order it even with the exorbitant price. She left to inform the chef. After about 10 minutes, she came back and for some reason went over the prices item by item again. Her: "Ok, so just to confirm, the tea service is $55 each per person." Us: "Yes, we know" Her: "And adding the extra platter is an additional $110." Us: "Yes, you told us already." Her: "So the total plus gratuity comes out to around $400. Is that price ok for you?" Us: "Yes it is." Her: "Ok so you wouldn't mind paying now, would you?" First, they bring the wrong food and do not correct the mistake. Second, they question if we have the ability to pay. Third, they make us pay halfway through the meal. Like we were going to dine and dash. We paid as requested and were polite throughout the whole experience. But at the end of it, we were left feeling shocked and disrespected. It was an unfortunate event that left a bad note on an otherwise lovely weekend in Ojai celebrating my best friend getting married. Despite the good teas and beautiful shop, I cannot recommend this place. I will not be returning. read more

A very lovely space with amazing tea. The tea room in the back is a lovely space to sit and sip.

Very charming & cute shop with a HUGE assortment of teas & accessories.... The people who work there are incredibly knowledgeable and will answer any & all questions - not to mention one's you never knew you had. Lots of great information, helpful hints and 'tricks'. Again, a HUGE assortment of teas, lots to smell & even samples to taste. Adorable gifts including candles, mugs, and tea infuser balls. Also available online - but a MUST visit if you're close, so much tea to smell & so much ambience to absorb. read more

I have been patiently awaiting an opportunity to visit this tea salon since I live ~200 miles away. Ever since I was first introduced to this exquisite brand, I have been obsessed. Zhena comes out with delicious, new, healthful blends throughout the year using the highest quality ingredients. It was such a treat to smell ALL the teas available and meet the super sweet tea guru herself, Zhena! Do yourself a favor and go experience the magic. read more

This is the most lovely little shop! It's a treasure to find. I loved the tea so much after getting a gift from there, that I sent my friend there who was visiting from NorCal. Her experience was the same as mine. The girl in the shop barely greeted you. Barely wanted to make eye contact. She gave off the vibe that she didn't want to engage and would rather stay behind the counter. No offer of trying a special tea on the bar. (Which should be a given... a tea sample of the day!). It would be a positive thing if you hired someone who greeted in a friendly manner, offered help and offered advise. And who genuinely wanted to sell you tea based on your interest. I would have bought much more! I know you must have business online and with local vendors and restaurants, but if you wanted to make the store be as successful as the other things, hire someone who makes it a positive experience. People will tell their friends and post about it. Maybe even a second person so they don't hesitate to get on the floor to recommend tea while not worrying about ringing people up. The hours are a bit odd, so don't go unless you check the hours they are open each day. read more

Made our regular trek to Ojai for more tea. Great place. Can not rate them higher. Aost to many options to choose from.

During our recent trip to Ojai, we stopped by at Magic Hour. The scent of all these teas was heavenly. We had a great shopping experience with outstanding customer service. We will definitely stop by next time we are in Ojai. read more

I love their beautiful teas and even subscribe to the monthly tea club however sadly our relationship may be coming to an end. This review is for the online store/ customer service. I ordered gifts for friends for an event. I only received 1 of the 3 items, so I sadly did not have my items for the event. No worries, I tried working with customer service but have been left hanging. No response to emails or return phone calls. Very disappointed in the customer service. Feels like a joke to give my friends their gifts now... if I ever get them. read more

Citrine Cleanse was gifted to me over the holidays by my friend who is a tea lover. What I love about this tea is that it is an all day sipping tea that truly makes getting your H2O per day demand super easy. It's flavorful and not overpowering. I love the fennel flavor which is Not overpowering for this coffee drinker. I await my next shipment of Citrine Cleanse and have included the coffee lover blend to try it out. read more

I love the atmosphere of the store and have never been disappointed with a tea I have purchased there. At the moment, Queen of the South is my favorite, and I have a cup every evening. In addition to delicious teas, they have beautiful teaware, and jewelry. I have also ordered from them online, and received my orders promptly. read more

I was in Ojai recently and came across this place. Very cool interior decoration. I'm pretty into tea. And wow do they have a vast selection of unique leaves. Ended up going with a raspberry black tea. It's really smooth. Nice taste but not over bearing. The caffeine comes on evenly. Very refreshing tea. Can't wait to try out more teas from here! read more
