    Tea
    Blake H.

    I enjoyed my time at the Old Barrel Tea Company shop. The associate was extremely helpful as I shopped for family Christmas gifts. The shop is arranged very well so that you can shop on different sections of teas. I'd definitely go back to this store to check out and shop again for items. I will say the shop is a tad bit pricey but seems to be worth it.

    Interior was jaw dropping. I had to carefully look through the decor and products. The staff were very sweet and patient while I sampled all the teas available. I really liked the Bourbon Brew Rooibos tea, and didn't expect to see corn bits when I went to go buy a batch.

    What a charming little loose leaf tea shop! This is exactly what I was looking for. The shop is located in the historic downtown Golden, so be sure to wear walking shoes so that you can check out everything this quaint town has to offer. The shop feels rustic and cozy. I love that there are little bottles of tea leaves next to the tins you can smell so that you know what you're buying. I went around and smelled every blend and I was thoroughly impressed! That's saying a lot because I'm not a huge tea drinker. But I bought 5 tins today (and got another for free) and I could've bought more! I got Enchanted Earl Grey, Ginger Chai, White Peach, Ginger (nothing else added to it), Bee Pollen Black, and Butterfly Garden that changes color when you add lemon to it. The lovely human working there was so helpful as well. I could tell that they thoroughly enjoyed their job. I was greeted warmly when I walked in and made to feel like I was truly welcome. You don't get that much with customer service these days. It's safe to say that I will be back, and I will tell everyone I know about this tea shop. Perhaps I will become an avid tea drinker after all!

    This tea shop is a winner. Huge selection of tea, gift items and more. Located inside a building with several other businesses. They also have a tea bar with a few amazing selections to grab if you're on the go.

    So cool!

    It was a blustery day in Downtown Golden so we were pretty much hopping into each passing business to check things out. we were totally blown away by what we found at Old Barrel Tea Company. I can't even begin to elaborate on the amount of teas they offered as well as the selection. There were also so many amazing gifts! From tea towels, to mugs, bee/tea themed t-shirts, body products and quirky loose tea holders this place has got it going on! At the main counter they have many teas hot at the ready to try. Most lightly sweetened (they use cane sugar as honey can alter the taste of the tea) and contain caffeine. The staff are friendly and quick to answer any questions you may have. My favorite feature was the aquaponics system near the front door. It features plants and fish for a symbiotic surprise!

    Golden's downtown area is full of terrific options, and Old Barrel Tea Company is among the best. While fighting a nasty upper respiratory condition, my physician recommended battling my issues with a lot of tea as part of the fight. So, while in Golden on a business visit, I stopped by Old Barrel Tea Company, and I could not have had a better overall experience. The sign outside the store told of sales, and a wonderfully tasty Valley Orchard and Ginger were among the tasting options. It brought me in, and the store's amazing scent was my first impression. Great customer service, truly a high level bolstered by knowledge and kindness from staffer Kateri. I ended up buying the Valley Orchard & Ginger tea, along with a great cup, strainer, and timer. Thankful for talented people running a store that is loaded with quality merchandise.

    Well-curated tea store with many flavor profiles! Staff is young but knowledgeable. Lovely fresh cup of iced honeysuckle oolong goes well with a historic downtown stroll in Golden, CO.

    Looking for pumpkin Chai- do you still carry this blend? I didn't see it on the website and was hoping it would appear this fall.

    Hi there! Pumpkin Chai is usually released mid-September. I believe the blending facility just auto shipped it, so it will be in stores by the end of the week at the latest :) Happy Fall!

    I want to drink your teas, but have a nut allergy. Are you mindful of cross contamination when making your products?

    Hi Cameron! In our warehouse we follow very strict allergen cross-contamination procedures, but we do carry nuts in house so there is always a risk. In store (where we package), the staff changes out gloves between allergen teas, and each tea has… Read more

    Hi Randy, Yes, we have our Banana Bread Coffee Puerh in stock at our Golden Location. Feel free to stop by any day between 10am-6pm to pick some up. Cheers!

I didn't blame Fruita wood as this was obviously a pay pal error. Since it hadn't shipped yet this could have been easily fixed. Instead the owner Bert told me to deal with PayPal. Which is what I did. Then he got upset because I went to pay pal. I didn't file a claim I just opened an inquiry to let pal pay know there was a problem. Bert obviously has social issues as I read other complaints where Bert's more interested in proving his point rather than just taking care of his customers.

I have sent emails to Bret, during business hours asking for a refund, the last on Friday, without a response. Next step, I know my credit card will respond on a chargeback request within seconds. I would avoid using this business due to the sheer lack of customer service from the staff. In attempting to communicate with Bert, the business owner, is like dealing with a 5 year old in the midst of an epic tantrum, wanting a blue tube of M&M's and won't stop screaming until he embarrasses his parents enough , they finally break down and gives their brat the M&M's. So sad and pathetic. After nearly a week late delivery attempt, I refused delivery and Bert, the business owner has become unhinged and is now making threats of credit card fraud. I forgot to add, the charge back dispute was successful and my credit card has already posted a full refund. It's hard to believe Bert does not have better and more productive things to attend to, than argue over $39.00.

Since the family is Celiac and we're not, we needed a little glutenous snack before the gluten-free holiday. This spot is located in an unassuming shopping center next to a few specialty shops and a Burger King. We went in and there was a line of people waiting to pick up their cheese boards for the next day. We checked out the menu as we waited, watching the beautiful boards come out one after the other and deciding if we should just order a board to take with us. We went with the Bay of Pigs - their Cubano style sandwich with a side of the southwestern pasta salad. After grabbing a table and drooling over more of the gorgeous cheese trays that walked out, they brought our sandwich over to us. While small, it was still generously stuffed with perfectly slow roasted pork, ham, spicy mustard, pickles, cheese and an interesting addition of cabbage that gave it a fun crunch. The southwestern pasta salad was SPICY and studded with small bits of cheese. We inquired about the boards which ranged from $13 - $150, and learned they average about $10/head. Since we needed to get up the hill, we decided to stop by another time to grab one for a future holiday since they offer gluten-free options. Super friendly and quick staff, delicious food, and just a cute atmosphere overall.
