Chicago Teahouse

I've tried several Chicago Tea House blends, and have thoroughly enjoyed every single one: Baked Apple is a delicious fall apple tea blend that tastes like liquid apple pie! Their masala chai is nice and spicy, and has a lovely cardamom forward flavor. The Christmas blend is an amazing spiced holiday tea that I will drink year round. Pineapple Mango was a very tropical tea that was delicious as a cold brew. Blood Orange Black was an amazing citrus black tea, that also was delightful cold. Strawberry potion was an absolutely stunning strawberry fruit tea blend. A great company with delicious teas!!

Chicago Teahouse offers some truly delightful blends. Pineapple Mango is a tropical escape in a cup—fruity, smooth, and never too tart. Blood Orange Black is bold and balanced with vibrant citrus and a rich black tea base. And Strawberry Potion? Pure magic. It tastes like a strawberry pastry and feels like a cozy little spell. Every tea I’ve tried has been thoughtfully crafted and full of real flavor. Highly recommend! Update of October 1, 2025 I was able to try 3 more teas. The Christmas Tea blends bright orange and almond with cozy cinnamon, cloves, and a touch of vanilla for a festive yet comforting cup. The Masala Chai brews a beautiful copper color and delivers bold, lingering spice notes of ginger, cloves, cinnamon, and cardamom—especially lovely with a splash of cream. And the Baked Apple captures the sweet, nostalgic taste of homemade baked apple desserts, with gentle cinnamon adding warmth without overpowering the fruit. Each tea has felt like a little moment of comfort in a cup.

As someone who truly loves tea, this shop was an absolute delight to visit. The selection is both thoughtful and inspiring—every blend feels curated with care. The staff welcomed me with genuine enthusiasm, guiding me through options and helping me discover flavors that matched my preferences. What stood out most was the experience: it wasn’t just about buying tea, it was about learning, tasting, and connecting. I left with not only delicious teas but also a deeper appreciation for the craft behind them. The atmosphere is calm and inviting, making it the perfect place to slow down and savor the moment. If you’re a tea enthusiast or simply curious to explore, this store is a gem worth seeking out. I’ll be carrying these flavors back to Michigan with joy!

Strawberry Potion It smelled so amazing as soon as I opened the package. It brewed a pretty amber color. The strawberry flavor was so wonderful, and the black tea was nice and smooth. There was a hint of sweetness already, so I didn't need to add anything to it. This one would make an excellent iced tea! I really liked this one! Blood Orange Black This tea was really good! It steeped up a lovely orange color. The citrus is bright and refreshing. Very bold zesty flavors. Citrus and black tea just go so well together. I didn't add anything to this one, I thought it was perfect as is. I really enjoyed trying this one! Pineapple Mango I loved this tea! It's very tropical tasting with pineapple and mango flavors. There was a little bit of floral notes. I thought it was so unique! It's sweet and fruity. There's so much flavor in this tea, its so delicious! I didnt add anything to this one. I thought it was great as is. Perfect tea to sip on this summer. This one is definitely a new favorite of mine!

Strawberry Potion from Chicago Tea Company is a delightful and magical elixir of strawberries, black tea and strawberry leaves. With a base of black tea, this strawberry forward blend holds just a bit of tartness to it, which keeps it from being cloying. It ingredients also holds many health benefits including improving the immune system and is good for cardiovascular functions. From the package, the aroma of strawberry is very apparent with its sweetness that carries over to when it steeps. I prepared mine in 200 degree water and let it steep for four minutes resulting in a lovely sherry colored infusion. Its flavor produces a sweet and fruity taste, balanced with the classic, bold flavor of black tea. I didn’t find it needs sweetened but I did find the addition of a sweetener really heightened the fruit filled flavor. This is a wonderful tea that I imagine would be wonderful as a cold brew. For a fruit lover like me, I loved every bit of this morning treat.

I tried 3 fruit teas and definitely enjoyed all 3. Strawberry Potion was full of sweet, sunny, full-on strawberry flavor without the overly sugared or artificial taste of many other strawberry teas. The Blood Orange Black blend was full of zesty and smooth orange. The orange wonderfully did not overwhelm the black tea. The final tea was Pineapple Mango. To this, I added local wildflower honey and received a delicious tropical tea. A strong pineapple flavor enriched by mango with floral notes was refreshing. All 3 teas were expertly crafted with harmonious flavor. I certainly will revisit these teas. I recently (9/29/25) tried the Christmas Tea, a seasonal tea. This is a delightful cup of spice and warmth. Perfect for the holiday season. It starts with a bold black tea, then it's clove forward with citrus and vanilla notes with a hint of cinnamon. It would be perfect on a cold morning with cranberry scones or orange rolls.

I just dropped in bc it looked good, I wasn't even planning to buy anything. The staff are super nice they recommended every single tea after asking about my taste. It was the best shopping experience in Chicago! I highly recommend it to anyone who visits Chicago. Thank you ♥

Strawberry Potion from the Chicago Teahouse is a new favorite! Let me just start this off by saying I was impressed the moment I opened this bag of tea and could smell the intense strawberry aroma. Closing my eyes, this transported right back to happy memories of childhood surrounded by strawberry shortcake. I love Strawberries and they are the quintessential summer fruit. I have had my fair share of strawberry flavored teas that fell flat for me. This Strawberry potion must have the magical secret, because the strawberry flavored shined through and was naturally sweet enough that I did not need to sweeten at all to enjoy this flavored black tea. It was a perfect combination of natural sweetness, true strawberry flavors, and smooth and flavorful cup. This one is on the reorder list for sure and highly recommend. I cannot wait to try it again iced and maybe even as a sun tea.

This tea shop offers an impressive selection of teas, ranging from Asian green teas and Pu-erh to European-style black teas with a variety of flavors. What makes this place stand out is that they can open the tea tin show you tea leaves and you can smell the teas, so you can easily find the one that suits your preferences. If you're uncertain, they also have a tea-to-go option where you can customize your drink by choosing the tea, cup size, ice or hot, and adding sugar, honey, or milk. They prepare it exactly as you request, so you can taste test with confidence. We tried an iced Pu-erh milk tea and a chocolatey iced milk tea, and they made both just right, not too sweet. Plus, the drinking ware in the shop are unique and modern. Overall, tea lovers definitely shouldn't miss this place! We also love their royal Jasmine green tea its aroma is so do good.

I want to give a raving review to the staff member who assisted me this Friday in the afternoon whose name I did not get unfortunately. I came in hoping for a recommendation for tea that would help with general upset stomach. I'd been feeling queasy all day and decided that water wasn't going to help anymore. I described my issue and she whipped up a lovely concoction of Spearmint amongst other things . It really helped! Could I have done this myself? Maybe but I appreciate the knowledge of tea properties, the attention and care put into my tea and calming atmosphere of the tea shop. I was told they can hold tea tastings as well so I'm very excited to come back in the future.

Lovely place! Eden was very helpful with explanations of the teas and accommodating letting us take a whiff, haha. So far out of the items we purchased I've tried the Royal Samovar (robust black) and the Winter Jam (dried fruit/spice) and they've been delicious. Excited to try the East Frisian, whose tea tradition I haven't seen for sale anywhere else. Also picked up Gunpowder Temple of Heaven and Pu-erh Pistachio - I don't typically go for flavored teas, but the aroma of this one blew me away. They also gave us samples upon request - of Nepal Ilam and even of award-winning gyokuro. I will definitely be back to restock. Fully recommend this place. (They also seemed to have a decent selection of teawares, but we were not in the market for that.)

Great small shop with great staff and sooo many teas to choose from. Overall, a great experience.

This is a well stocked and darling little tea house. My sister and I love herbal teas. The staff was friendly and helpful. The Mango Rosemary and Strawberry Moringa are delicious! When we're in town we will happily shop here.

My fiancée and I came in by chance to see what types of tea the guys had. I really like the atmosphere, very tasty tea and amazing staff! We couldn't leave without taking a cup of tea.

I LOVE this place!!! Every time I visit Chicago I have to stop here. Customer service has ALWAYS been amazing. This last visit Simone assisted me and she was finamanal. Their Almond Milk tea (its now called something else) is my FAVORITE!!!
