Queen's Pantry Teas - Leavenworth

Great little mom and pops. Very friendly and helpful staff. Free samples of tea. Great feel to the place.

Cute shop! There's a TON of adorable mugs, types of teas, treats, and the employees were friendly and helpful.

If you're in Leavenworth, Kansas you MUST stop in for a visit! Immediately upon entering I was greeted with a friendly hello and an offer of their current tea samples. They had two hot and one iced. Before I even entered too far into the quaint shop, Kim mentioned tea samples--not just to drink but a small bag of loose leaf. She was the sweetest--in my conversation with her while I entered the store, I said I had just checked in on Yelp. Yelp said something about an ounce (seems like too much to just give away... , the samples were less than that, but I didn't mind, I thought it was cool they even did that--she ended up letting me choose two--so hard to decide when the two I chose sounded delicious!They have a fantastic array of teas: black, herbal, tisanes, green to name a few of their loose leaf teas. They also have an assortment of boxed/tin of teas too and from various companies. I tried the iced one they were sampling (Strawberry Vanilla from London Fruit Herb Company. It was so refreshing I bought a box!I told Kim I was hosting a small afternoon tea for my Mum's birthday and she had some wonderful ideas! Not only for the teas from which to choose, but also some noshes to pair with them. While loading my arms with all the goodness, Kailee popped over and offered a basket for my finds! Thank you!!Everyone there is friendly and knowledgeable. Case in point, after having tried the iced tea, i asked out to make it with correct proportions of tea:water:ice, to which Kim supplied not only a verbal answer, but also gave me a card with brewing directions! Hooray! I love dropping by, at the very least to see if they have anything new, but also because they're a local company that has loose leaf teas--seems hard to procure sometimes.Queen's Pantry offers a variety of British fare and beautiful cups/mugs and accoutrements to help either a newbie to loose leaf teas or a long-time connoisseur.Not sure how it happened, but I let with more than just new to me loose leaf teas! wink wink

Queen's Pantry is a little gem in downtown Leavenworth. They offer a huge selection of tea, mugs, candy, scone mix, and other items, as well as samples of their tea of the day. I'm new to loose-leaf tea, so I chose several one-ounce packages to try, though they offer much larger packages if you know what you like. I have loved all the tea I've tried so far and am looking forward to stopping back in to try new flavors.

A very nice variety of teas and the opportunity to sample some too. The shop is full of cute mugs, teas and food from all over. A fun little shop!
