Please note, that once Saturday markets start in May we will NOT have Shop Hours on SATURDAY. We WILL still have Friday night shop hours (since we will be there getting ready for market).
This could change as summer progresses, so always be sure to check here or give us a call if the shop is more convenient than the market for you.

Also, this Sunday – I’ll be doing sampling at Sappington Farmers Market again – from Noon to 4 (or till I run out of tea). They are having special sales that day.

Remember Tea Circle at the shop on Tues 3/22 at 7:00pm FREE opportunity to sample and learn more about teas and how to steep them. What we sample that evening depends upon the interests of who shows up!

This was a decision arrived at somewhat spontaneously. I enjoyed the shop environment for the more leisurely pace of interacting and sometimes chatting with some of you for quite some time over a cup of tea.

Yet, economic realities had to be faced; and then, as I contemplated working at the Summer Farmers’ Markets again, I realized how much joy and vitality I experience interacting with you in that medium.

I remembered how inspired the name “Traveling Tea” and the teapot logo with its hobo bag, just “came to me”, almost unbidden…..and even the slogan “Sharing Good Times – Sharing Good Tea”. (“Traveling Tea”, not “Sitting in a Shop” Tea)

Though it was originally a teashop in Kansas City that generated the idea of a tea business in St. Louis for me, what I was “given” to create is something different.

Bringing tea to you, where you are in your lives and activities; to get quality tea on the menus at venues and events in the area where tea-lovers currently have limited choice. This is my mission. So tea lovers throughout the St. Louis area can truly enjoy healthy, tasty, properly brewed tea while they are sharing good times with friends and family.

Help me spread the word. Tell me where you want to see Traveling Tea. Tell the owners and managers of those places you want to be able to buy/drink Traveling Tea product there.

Together, we can take St. Louis beverage enjoyment to the next level!

Happy Summer 2010
I look forward to seeing you at the Markets

For those of you who’ve heard about us and we’ve not yet met, or those of you who have come upon our site unawares….every market day we have 5 or 6 teas freshly brewed for your drinking pleasure; and we’re selling lots of flavors and varieties of loose teas (as well as a small selection in silk pyramid bags). 

We also offer fillable, biodegradable, tea bags for your cup or pot; and reusable filters too.

Traveling Tea was born of my own longing to get a good cup of tea in a public venue such as the Farmers’ Market.  I’ve been drinking tea for 40 years or so, and coffee only for the past 5 or so years.  I admit, on occasion, I enjoy the flavor of coffee with my milk and sugar; but tea …. TEA has a Vast array of flavor possibilities – and it doesn’t make me feel jumpy.

Stop by, check us out, enjoy a cup of tea, and share your tea stories and tea memories.
