Tea Heaven...It was raining so hard when we decided to walk in to this calm, peaceful place...As on receipt shows the name of host, Bailey Calhoun welcomed us...Such a warm welcoming... I ordered Year of the Dragon Matcha and my friend ordered in the flowers green. We ordered large because we had 2 hrs drive and we wanted to take the rest with us.... This is what we ordered and how much we paid. The exact receipt is copy pasted below: 1 Year Of The Dragon: $7.00 *Matcha (Organic)  HOT $0.00  LARGE $5.00  HERE $0.00 2 OZ COCO MILK (LARGE) $0.75 1 In the Flowers *Green:$5.00 (Organic)  HOT $0.00  LARGE $4.00  HERE $0.00 2 OZ SWEET CREAM *REC FOR LARGE $2.00 Total $23.75 plus tip They have beautiful decoration and warm atmosphere filled with goodies to buy from tea products, warm hoodies, books, toys, decors and etc. The harmony of color, beautiful smell and good energies made us stay there longer then we expected...It's hard to go there and not enjoy all the beautiful vibes and leave the shop... I'll be honest that we enjoyed every sip of our teas. I tried both of them and they were both great! Real quality tea.... Parking was lil bit a problem but its worth the wait time...I'll go back to this beautiful place again it lookslike a retreat for me...Energy healing... read more

Truly a treasure of a tea house. The quality and selection of the teas is outstanding. A whimsical selection of merchandise and cozy (but not frumpy!) atmosphere makes one just want to stay there. read more

What a welcome addition to Idyllwild! I came here just before closing at 6pm for a caffeine fix before hitting the road. I got their Silk Road chai with sweet cream. Without tip it was $10 which is a hair on the expensive side for me but the chai tea was very flavorful. The lady at the counter was very sweet considering I swung in at the last minute and wrote on my cup when to enjoy the tea. The interior of the spot is rustic and adorable, with little tchotchkes and art to peruse read more

Barista was unfriendly, took 10 minutes to make a citrus iced tea that tasted like store bought iced tea and costed $10.

I've been here a few times and for some reason it's always closed. But I was so happy I came in it's very small but quaint and has some really great items. Everybody was very happy and relaxed. Incredibly low cost on the items comparatively to elsewhere. Was definitely enjoyable! read more

It's been a week and I am still thinking about the Persephone tea that I had here. I regret not buying the bag of it To go, and will buy it next time we are in town! It was the perfect tea to cool you down on a hot day. Cute selection of tea and health related goods for purchase. Nice little sitting areas inside and outside of the shop. Loved the different blends of teas available, and the staff were super helpful with answering questions and providing suggestions. read more

Great tea shop in Idyllwild! We have bene walking past this place for years and finally stopped in. Wow, we were missing out! It started with the "welcome" as we walked in. The place is very nice and decorated very well. Customer service was awesome. We were helped in deciding what we wanted and how to drink and steep and condiments for the teas. The had a great selection of teas. We ordered two cups of Chai's to steep in house. Silk Road and I forget the name of the other Chai. Both were very good. We will be back for more! read more

Came to have some tea while needing to take care of some correspondence while we were in Idyllwild. I loved the interior of this shop! So well curated. I'd definitely be coming back and spending more time here in future visits to Idyllwild. The tea selection itself is solid - not the most comprehensive or unique but pretty good for a small shop in town. read more

Stopped in on Wednesday evening (the 4th) and had such a nice experience thanks to the young woman working. She was super friendly, welcoming, and made ordering easy and enjoyable. The tea was great, and the customer service really stood out -- she had such a positive attitude and made the whole place feel warm and inviting. Definitely coming back! read more

What cute tea shop! Stopped by after Idyllwild's July 4th parade and I'm so glad we did! Cute merchandise for sale, but of course we had to try their teas. We ended up getting a Thai iced tea because a previous customer ordered it and it looks so good! Teas was strong in flavor and a refreshing addition to the hot day. Price was good for the size you get too! I would definitely comeback to try other flavors read more

Went on Christmas Day and unfortunately the young lady working at the counter was so unpleasant. She didn't greet anyone the customers had to greet her she looked very miserable not one smile came out of her. Unfortunately, people like her make customers not want to ever come back. I know she's not the owner. We can tell from many places we visit when the owner is there because they typically have a warm and welcoming smile. The place is beautiful but customer service was horrible. read more

This is a quaint and inviting tea house in Idyllwild. There is a great selection of teas and we decided to try the fruit pies and hot teas. The teas are delicious but OMG the pies were incredible! I had the peach apple and my daughter had the berry pie. They were gluten- free, which was amazing since my daughter never gets to have a piece of pie. The service was great and employees were very friendly. They sell comfortable robes, books, quality hand-crafted toys, candles, etc, I can't wait until we come again! read more

When it comes to hot drinks, I happen to fall squarely into the tea crowd. As someone who spends most of his time in the states, us tea lovers do not have equal representation when it comes to specialty shops. So I was so happy to find this place in the heart of Idyllwild. There is an astonishing selection of teas, all of which can be enjoyed on-site, or to-go. You can tell how well they know their stuff because my cup was labeled with the time to begin drinking, allowing it enough time to steep. The tea itself was brewed perfectly and tasted great; one of the best I've had outside London. This was a great way to start a relaxing morning in the mountains. I look forward to returning the next time I'm in town. read more

What a find! My father, daughter, and I stumbled upon this place. From the outside I couldn't quite tell if it was open or what it looked like on the inside, but I'm glad we went in. There were a bunch of delicious sounding teas to choose from and the woman working helped us find the right tea. I chose the "weekend in Barcelona" iced. Which was delicious- even my 2 year old liked it. The pastries all looked great, but we chose the chocolate chip cookie and it was out of this world good. My favorite part was that they had a few toddler toys tucked in the corner; some small building blocks, a bluey doll house, and some legos. This made my visit infinitely more enjoyable. Will be back! read more

Also the mountain jack pie - insane. Get you a slice. Staff is very friendly and atmosphere is relaxing and peaceful. I always leave feeling centered and inspired. read more

Trying a little too hard to be bohemian. They pulled it off but it just felt a little corny. Weird to walk through what's for sale when people are enjoying their drinks around it. The care and effort into the tea was good but it's just tea. read more

I was exploring town when I happened upon Shala Tea. This new tea house is a wonderful addition to Idyllwild's offerings. The environment was stylish without being pretentious - it invited me to stay and relax. I couldn't, so I went ahead and bought a large bag of chai tea to go. They had several different homemade chais, all of them smelled good, each very different from the other. I've been enjoying that chai for weeks now, and cannot wait to return with a book, to relax and enjoy, and to try the other chai flavors! Thanks, Shala! Great job! read more

Cute and cozy little tea shop. Can order tea and enjoy onsite and they have gifts as well- even some kids toys. Idyllwild really needed a space like this. Bring your kindle or a friend and enjoy. read more

Stopped in here to see if they had some iced tea options and I'm so glad I did. Not only is the shop darling, but they had an incredible menu of both hot teas and cold brew teas. The owner walked me through all the options... ended up with a green tea, an herbal tea, and a lemonade for the kiddo. Saw some tasty looking baked goods as well. While I waited (they give great detailed service), I browsed their retail offering... amazing books, gifts, aprons, tea sets, and so much more. I could have spent hours poking through each option. Learned from the owner they've only been open a month and a half. It's a really incredible spot and I look forward to returning the next time we are in town. read more

The energy in this tea house is so zen and warm. They have a lot of variety of teas and cute little things to look around the store while you wait for the tea. Their pies look delicious as well. The girl at the counter was very helpful and kind. Love this place! read more
