I needed some decaffeinated loose leaf tea so checked yelp for a place nearby. This tea company sounded like a charming place to visit so the three of us headed out to Healdsburg on a Sunday afternoon. Parking can be challenging but you will find a spot if you don't mind walking. It was fun to stroll down the blocks and see the various shops and restaurants along the way. I almost missed the tea shop! It is a tiny storefront next to an art gallery and I entered the gallery by mistake. The shop itself is tiny but organized. The lady working there told us that we could smell the teas as there were little jars above each package of tea. She explained how the teas were organized by herbal, black, green, and a few white teas. The loose teas are already packaged and ready for purchase. They come in 50 gram size (little less than 2 ounces). The majority were blends with the ingredients and price listed on the front of each package. They sell individual tea samplers too if you want to just try a cup. They offer a really nice variety. There are lots of cute gift items and chocolates too. While we were there, several groups of people came in to buy and quickly left. They must know which flavors they like. A darling place to visit with friends and family.

Holly was generous enough to do a Zoom tea tasting for our large group. I ordered a sampler of many of her teas, and let me tell you--what an incredible treat! I have only tried a few so far, but they are all delicious, high-quality, and unique. As a non-coffee drinking "tea toller," I have sipped lots of teas in my lifetime. Holly's teas rank up there as some of the best. I also appreciate the variety of choices and how easy it is to order online. Aside from world class tea, I like supporting a woman-owned business. I look forward to replenishing my supply and ordering lots of gifts from Russian River Tea Company. I may have to reference my naughty/nice list first.

Thank you Holly for hosting such a fabulous tasting of your fine teas by Zoom. I loved the opportunity to taste test some of the 40 teas in my sampler with you and friends over zoom. I will be trying some of the recipes you shared using tea in salad dressings and sauces! I learned so much about the different types of teas and methods of preparation! I can't wait to visit the store in person once it's safe, but in the meantime I'll be ordering a few more of the teas that you talked about today!

My favorite teas, plus a generous sampler set!

Stopped by this shop while I was in town visiting for a wedding and loved all of the tea options (and it's loose leaf, which is hands down the best since you see the quality of the leaves rather than powdered leaves in a pre-packed tea bag). The owner was super hospitable and very knowledgeable about the differences between each tea selection, so I was able to ask all the questions I needed. It's been nearly two years since I first visited and even though I live in Texas, I still order tea from here regularly. If you're unsure which teas to try, her sampler packs are the best, and that isn't even accounting for the reasonable pricing! I've recommended RRTCo. to many people since.

Tea to go!

The indoor space greets you with ceilings so soaring you half expect a choir to descend and start harmonizing about espresso beans. The ambiance makes you want to stay well after you've actually finished your drink. My friend, a certified drink connoisseur, insisted I order the peanut butter mocha. I did. It ruined me. This drink walked in, introduced itself, and immediately filed for a permanent spot in my life. I'm not saying I've thought about it every day since -- I'm saying I've thought about it every hour since. Will I be back? Obviously. Am I already plotting my route there? Also obviously. Is this review just a thinly veiled love letter to a beverage? Yes, and I regret nothing.

We enjoyed it so much that we went out of our way to return today for one last matcha before flying home tomorrow. Unfortunately, we arrived to find a sign announcing that they had closed early at 3 PM for maintenance, despite their posted business hours of 7 AM-5 PM. We had missed the unexpected closing by just 17 minutes. The door was open so we peeked our head in, but the worker reiterated that they were "closed". I understand that maintenance happens, but it's incredibly frustrating to make a special trip to a business during its advertised operating hours only to discover it's closed. What prompted me to actually write this review was seeing that someone had left a one-star review just three weeks ago describing a similar experience and suggesting that inconsistent hours were an ongoing issue. Apparently, management just doesn't care. Why can't maintenance be completed at 5 PM instead of 3? It's such a shame because the matcha really was exceptional, and I was excited to enjoy it one more time. I hope management takes these concerns seriously and finds a way to communicate unexpected closures more effectively. Customers should be able to rely on a business being open during its posted hours, especially when they're making a special trip. Five stars for the matcha, but unfortunately not for the experience.

I'm a big Holiday Baking Championship fan, and I distinctly remember a Healdsburg baker named Melissa Yanc who won in 2019. I was living in San Francisco when her episode aired, so when we moved to Santa Rosa and my husband mentioned a bakery he frequents in Healdsburg, I hoped it was hers. He couldn't remember the name, but when he pulled it up on his phone's map, it was Quail & Condor! Imagine my delight. I'd wanted to try it for years, and he'd been bringing it home all along. Everything lived up to my expectations. He brought home a chocolate croissant, a cookie, a kouign-amann, and an oatmeal cream pie, and every single thing was delicious. I can't wait to visit in person, but for now, my husband is on pastry duty at least once a week. What a life!

We decided to buy a few items to share. First up was the Kouign Amann, a croissant like pastry baked in a mold with a caramelized crust. It was good overall, with a nice flavor and texture. Next, we tried the Morning Bun, which ended up being my favorite! It had a delicious black sesame cream filling and was soft and fluffy. It was a new flavor for me that I really enjoyed. I also ordered a mocha coffee to enjoy alongside the pastries. When we arrived, there was a short line, and the dining area was fairly busy with other patrons. The dining area was noce and open and spacious. They also had a selection of cookbooks to browse through, which was a nice touch. Overall, the pastries were good, and I would definitely return for the Morning Bun. However, I was a bit disappointed with the customer service. The staff member at the register made me feel rushed, and her demeanor came across as unwelcoming. While I enjoyed the pastries, a warmer and more welcoming interaction would have made the experience much better.

The layout seemed like I could walk right into the kitchen, so wasn't sure which part was for employees or which was for customers. LOL Just wow. I got the bagel sandwich with a jalapeno bagel. Let me tell you, this bagel sandwich and the biscuit sandwich were massive. Massive. It lasted me 2 meals. What's even more impressive is if you didn't tell me the sausage was not meat... I wouldn't have known... it was so flavorful, and just enough grease to give me a little life after my hangover. Will definitely be back..

I would pick 4 spirits for my tasting. The choices of absinthe and amaro intrigued me, but I wasn't sure I wanted to taste them straight. I was lucky enough that there was just enough pour from the lime vodka so I chose lime vodka, gin, bourbon, and corn whiskey. The lime vodka was yummy and would be great for mixing drinks. I really liked the H.O.B.S. gin. It stands for Harbor of Broken Souls. Nice name, but with the juniper taste and ABV at 50%? This would be perfect for mixing since it's a higher ABV. I was so curious how it would taste that I ordered an H.O.B.S. Gin and tonic for my wife. Yep, it tasted great. I'm a whiskey guy and I like bourbon. However, I actually preferred their corn whiskey. Perhaps because it's 80% corn so it was extra sweet. The only complaint I had was that each pour was very little. It's great that they use Glencairn glasses for tasting, but wish they had been more generous with their pours. As a home mixologist, I had a nice chat with the bartender about their gin, their local bitters. It's the great conversation that takes the experience to another level. Buying a bottle would waive the tasting fee? Great. I got that H.O.B.S. gin that I really had my eyes (and taste buds) on! I would use 1 oz of their gin and another oz of Tanqueray to make a gin and tonic. Maybe next time I would come back and taste the absinthe.
