The person helping me was welcoming and invited me to smell the leaves of so many different teas. There's a huge variety of uncaffeinated, green, and black teas as well as Yerba mate teas. There's also a handy tea menu to explain the components and flavor profiles of each tea. I was able to sample the scents of so many different teas and ended up choosing one black and one green tea. Swami Power (black) is so fruity and bright. I love this tea so much. The Lavender Fields (green) has a strong floral flavor. I definitely would get swami power again once I run out, but would pass on the Lavender Fields next time-- it's still good though! The teas cost a pretty penny, but I think it's worth it. read more

Tea Bazaar - Swami power & lavender fields - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Diego, California

Tea Bazaar is located in Little Italy. We first saw them on the Market in little Italy every Wednesday or Saturday. My wife bought some tea there and over the weekend my wife sent me to their actual store. So many good ones to choose from, I just picked whatever I think she may like the most, I got her the Jasmine Pearl. So if you are looking for a good tea, this is also a good spot to get it. The place is so organized and so clean, staff is nice, the parking is side street, but if you can't find one there's a paid parking lot only a few steps from their store. read more

Stopped in here on whim and so glad we did. The store is clean and organized, and the salesperson was friendly and helpful. They have jars set up so you can smell the different teas, and I appreciate the option to buy sample sizes to discover which flavors we like best. read more

Bugs in Tea AND No Response from management OR owners -2nd time buying tea from them and two weeks later discover bugs in tea -googled to confirm this happens with but as tea is pricey I call them to request a replacement or refund -I called at start of day and end of day, confirmed on both calls my information was correct so management/owners could reach me -I have waited two full business days and it is the end of the day on a Friday, I have heard nothing back yet Place is conveniently located and tea is good but between risks of bugs AND poor management follow up, will not be continuing to get tea at this location. Recommend Datura in North Park or Point Loma Tea as alternative. read more

Was in the area and popped into this cute tea shop! Great variety of herbal teas and others available. Very friendly staff and able to recommend a few popular picks. Will definitely return. read more

The hostess was really friendly and helpful. She was able to put together a collection of teas to give out as a gift and made sure to customize it. They also have a great collection of tea stuff and got myself a cute llama tea infuser. One of the things I have found helpful is that they also added a magnet that reminds you about the different teas and their brewing times. Wished I lived closer so that I can visit more often. Would go again when I am in the area. read more

Tea Bazaar - Selection - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Diego, California

March 2023 we spent our spring break in San Diego. While spending a day wondering around Little Italy we happened upon this tea shop and I am a HUGE Chai Tea fan and have been ordering loose leaf tea from David's Tea for years. The shop was great, the service was perfect and after lots of tea smelling, I opted for the Yellow Brick Road and it has quickly become one of my favorite chais. I live on the other aide of the country and still choose to order tea from Tea Bazaar because the blends and quality are worth it. read more

Farmers market La Jolla was off the charts with service and amazing tea, will be back asap

I ordered three fall teas for $49.99 for my friend for her birthday on 11/23/24. She received a package with the breathe tea I did not order but did not receive any of the teas I ordered. I have contacted the company several times to get a refund and they said the package was delivered. I will not be ordering from this company again and would recommend that others don't as well. read more

Tea Bazaar - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Diego, California

I've ordered online a couple times from Tea Bazaar after finding them at the Pacific Beach Farmer's Market. Every time I have ordered from this small business, the tea has been shipped in a timely manner, and the prices are excellent. I regularly purchase the Ruby Red as I love a good fruity herbal tea, but everything I have purchased has been very good. I have also received a nice little note thanking me for my purchase every time I have placed an order. I highly recommend Tea Bazaar for your loose leaf tea needs. read more

Love this place. The tea is amazing and they have such a great variety. You can even order online.

First time here and Yadi was dope, great help. He was very informative in helping me find some teas I needed to suit my needs.

I got a Collection as a gift from a colleague, and while intrigued, I was not that excited. Boy was I wrong! The Orange Creamsicle in particular was literally the best tea I've ever had. As a result, my cup was empty almost instantly. So that was pretty upsetting. read more

Tea Bazaar - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Diego, California

First, this review for Tea Bazaar is for the latest two bags of China Jasmine tea I have received after my husband ordered it online. I believe their in-person service and teas have been top notch for me in the past. That's why when I opened my latest bag of China Jasmine I was underwhelmed by the inadequate Jasmine aroma and flavor in my tea--it almost tasted like they forgot to add it. I have purchased this specific tea about three times before, and the past three bags were fragrant and delicious. What was once an enjoyable part of my morning routine to bring me peace and energy is now more like chugging coffee from the workplace that has been sitting there. I was not sure what had happened, so I reached out to the company on their contact information provided on their website, but have not received an email reply. read more

Love their teas. I usually go to the farmers markets to get my tea but I have also gone in to their store. It's hard to buy regular boxed tea now. I love their tea so much! read more

Tea Bazaar - four bags of tea on a counter - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Diego, California

I saw them at the Farmer's Market in Vista and tried a bag of the London Fog (black tea, cornflower, bergamot and vanilla, SWOON) which I immediately fell madly in love with and now must have every morning. So good that I made a point of stopping in to the shop the next time I was in SD, and Iagree with what everyone else has said: clean, friendly, magnificent bounty of aromas! I got sample sizes of two other teas and resupplied my London Fog. One of the samples was an herbal called Red Winter's Wine - also swoon worthy!! I'm a regular for life. I want a Tea Bazaar t-shirt! Where's the merch? read more
