The lady who were at the store was friendly and very helpful. I went in after seeing the sign of the tea of the month being green chile biscochito. Green chile?? That totally grabbed my attention! I had to try it. It was so surprisingly good. It wasn't spicy, it was very well-balanced and refreshing. It has a splash of oatmilk but I couldn't tell at all, it was so clear and I could not taste it (not a fan of oatmilk). So of course because I'm already inside, I might as well try other teas. They have so many and there's a small sample that you can smell out of. My tea stock at home is maxed out at the moment but when I'm ready to restock, I know this would be the place to go! read more

Whenever traveling I'm on the lookout for a loose tea shop. Old Barrel Tea is a cute and charming shop. The lady working there greeted me warmly and gave recommendations. I bought 3 tins of an herbal blend. If you return with the empty tins you'll receive a discount. There is also a discount for teachers. Next year when I'm in Flagstaff I will return. Not for the discount but because the tea is delicious! read more

I found this lovely shop through a recommendation from a TikTok creator. She raves about their tea, so when we were in Flagstaff for the weekend, I knew I had to check it out. The shop is so inviting and smells heavenly. Large assortment of high quality teas with interesting blends. Brittany was so helpful with her suggestions, never rushing me. I left with 6 tins of tea and each one is amazing!! I will absolutely be ordering from them in the future and stopping by every time in town. read more

Lovely shop with friendly, knowledgeable staff- they made great recommendations. Offered several samples of hot and cool tea. They couldn't have been nicer. Absolutely will return. read more

Fantastic little tea shop in downtown Flagstaff! I absolutely loved it. I didn't have anything specific in mind but was mostly searching for unique blends. Old Barrel totally delivered. They had so many interesting offerings that it was difficult to choose. I ended up buying a Pecan Pie Puerh and a Lavender Crème Brulee Rooibos. I am enjoying them both. The teas came in adorable little tins (great for gifting). They also included all the necessary information such as steeping time and brewing instructions. The service was excellent. Really friendly and helpful. The employee answered all my questions and offered a few recommendations. They also have free samples of some of their teas (these vary, depending on the day). Street parking only (inexpensive). read more

Here's the tea: Old Barrel Tea is a small tea and accessory store in downtown Flagstaff. It's the perfect place to purchase a gift or souvenir for yourself. While the shop specializes in tea, they also sell an assortment of honey, seasonings, and even plant goods. I went in and grabbed a few items to take back to California with me, including a really cool hot cocoa mix with mushrooms! The shop is female owned and operated. The woman behind the counter was so kind and went above and beyond to offer samplings of pretty much every tea onsite. read more

Madeline was super friendly and extremely helpful when it came to me finding the perfect tea for me. This tea shot is truly one of a kind! Gotta love the woodwork inside and the cozy ambiance too! read more

I am not one to leave bad reviews but the customer service I experienced today was insane. A tall woman with dyed blonde hair and glasses was incredibly rude. We asked her if there were any chais and she responded by saying "yup" and turning away. When we went to the register to buy she rudely rolled her eyes at us. I will not be back. read more

This is a great little tea shop. The young lady that waited on us was very friendly and helpful with educating us on various teas and tasting the tea of the month. We'll definitely be back read more

What a great assortment of teas. I always try and visit this tea shop when I am in town. Definitely recommend.

I went in for something new and I was not disappointed! I love loose leaf tea and the last couple I ordered from other shops were not great. I'm a fan of slightly sweet, caffeine-free teas and purchased the Berry Tin. It is exceptional! The young woman behind the counter was friendly and helpful as well. It's a small space, but don't let that deter you - they have a great selection! read more

Bought a bunch of different teas last Saturday and got a great deal on some really cool blends. Great quality. Mixing the teas creates great blends. Nice shop, friendly staff and a nice location downtown read more

Old Barrel Tea - 7 blends of tea, some with caffeine some without. - Tea Rooms Near Me - Flagstaff, Arizona

Oh my god such a lovely little shop! When exploring downtown flag I ran across this place and it was amazing! Prices are reasonable I love that they always have samples and the stat are very friendly and walk you through the different blends, ingredients and notes within their teas! Already have gone twice and have walked out with something because it's just that good! If you are or have another tea lover in your life you need to check this place out! read more

If you are a massive tea fan (like me) this is a must go! The workers are super helpful and friendly. Definitely not your typical selection of teas here. There are a lot of unique flavors that are great on their own or paired with a second tea. I think the hardest thing about going here is leaving with only one new tea. Make sure to try their free samples of the day! read more

Delicious tea and great service would definitely go back and buy some more tea! Only thing bad is the store is a little small so you can't get to many people in there or it gets to cramped up. But yea go check it out I am sure you will find a flavor you like! read more

This is my favorite tea place EVER! They have so many options and always have different teas to try (the honey is amazing too). I love that it's a woman owned business and the workers there are always super knowledgeable, helpful, and kind. I keep going back time after time and it hurts because I can never just leave with one item lol. The teas also make for great gifts! I recommend this place to every person who has come to visit me in flagstaff! read more

very cozy store. they have free samples!!! who doesn't love free samples. my girlfriend and i got a french press from here. very pleased

The second location I've visited. The staff and their knowledge always precedes them! Seriously, I visited the Albuquerque, NM location and then this Flagstaff location on a road trip. I always love their teas and am so sad when I run out. I'm not big on delivery so I really stock up when I visit. They have a large range of teas from Black, Green, white and Herbal. read more

My friends and I just stumbled into this shop by chance. It turned out to be one of our favorite finds in Flagstaff. We sampled some of the teas and were immediately sold on purchasing a few containers of loose leaf tea. My favorites were the Horchata and the banana bread coffee. The flavors tasted spot on and the girl who helped us was very knowledgeable about the teas. I'm so happy we found this place and I made sure to drop in before we left Flagstaff. read more

I went in looking for some oolong tea. I was so happy to find what I was looking for. The sales woman offered us some tea samples and I was happy to try. I really loved the apple and cinnamon blend. It was fall in a cup and I couldn't pass it up. While we were checking out the woman explained to us about the steep times and how they're best prepared. She also offered us an infuser, but I declined since I already have one. read more

I went in looking for tea to drink before sleeping specifically including valerian root which they had! I also asked if they had any hojicha which they didn't but they told me that another tea shop down the street might. They were super friendly and offered us a sample of their yerba matte peppermint tea that had a tint of honey which was amazing! Their tin cans and other products sold are super cute. The whole shop is super cute! read more

Absolutely love this little shop. I joined their tea club back in the fall and drink their tea pretty much everyday. They have so many different kinds of teas, spices, oils, etc but it's really their focus on making creative blends for the season that I love. The staff are so friendly and helpful. Love bringing my dog there so he can get a treat and I can sample new teas. You don't want to miss this fabulous shop! read more

I would leave a negative 5 if I could. I bought tea from this place about a month ago. When I got home, I realized I needed to buy a tea infuser. Disappointed the sales person didn't make mention, but not a big deal. So, I bought one online. I quickly learned the infuser I bought was too large as when I filled it with tea, it seeped right through into the water. I was visiting Flagstaff again a few weeks ago. I popped into the store, this time with a focus to buy the right infuser. They sell them. Great! While I was there, they had a few blended teas to sample. One of them was perfect for my taste, so I bought 3 more teas (blend is a 2 to 1 mix). I explained to the sales person of my mishap with the infuser I had purchased online. She showed me the one they sell. I assumed since they made the tea blend in the shop, it must be the same infuser they use. If that's not the case, I would expect the sales person to bring that to my attention since she knew what I had already experienced. I got home, so excited to try my new teas. What do you know? Same issue. The tea seeped through the infuser. It wasn't just a few particles. It was quite a bit of the tea. This time I was totally confused why they would sell me an infuser with their tea knowing that I should buy a different infuser. Visiting Flagstaff again this week. Took the infuser to the shop. Explained to the sales person of the issues. She said that it was weird and that it must have been the type of tea I bought. I showed her one of the teas I bought and explained the others I had recently bought. She said that there would be a few dust particles that get through. I corrected here that it wasn't a few dust particles. It was basically a large amount of the tea. She just kept saying that's weird. I asked her if they sold different infusers. She said no. I shared that I was confused how they make their tea with the infuser that tea seeps through. She said they don't have that problem when they make them. Okay, that makes no sense whatsoever. So I let her know I'd like to return the infuser I bought. She said I couldn't because I used it. I said, yes, once. She said I couldn't return it since it was used. I asked her how would I know it doesn't work if I hadn't tried it. She said she was sorry but I couldn't return it. I let her know I was very disappointed and that they just lost a potential regular customer. She didn't seem to care. What I didn't mention is that I have 2 vacation rentals in town. I provide a listing of recommended shops and eateries. This will be the first time I will add a list of negative experiences and to avoid this shop. I'm a strong believer in supporting local shops. However, they need to want my business. If my business is that disposable, then they clearly don't need or want my $. read more
