Old Barrel Tea Company - Mesilla

This place has the best loose leaf tea and honey selection. The employees are very kind and most helpful. I highly recommend trying OBTC if you love tea.

Cool tea shop with a unique selection of blends and gifts to accompany them. They have a few teas you can get brewed to go (about 4-6) and kombucha on tap and samples. The tea blends were rather expensive, but there were many blends that'd be hard to find elsewhere.

I don’t know about all the flavors, but the blood orange is flavored in an oil that contains something artificial. I have an intolerance to aspartame and msg. I had all the symptoms when I drank this tea. When I called them they told me the tea is soaked in a flavor oil. My suspicions were confirmed, unfortunately.RESPONSE to owner-“Natural flavors” is an umbrella term. You have it listed as an ingredient on a lot of your teas. You are not required to list what it consists of. MSG and aspartame are considered “natural flavors” btw. I do not have sensitivities to real foods, I do have reactions to preservatives, and sweeteners. I recently bought some tea from another company and was pleased to see that the only ingredient was the tea flowers. I did not have an issue with that.. I’m curious about your orange Popsicle flavored tea. Are the essential oils extracted from a popsicle plant?

One of the best tea shops I’ve visited. We went as a party of 5 and we all enjoyed the experience at this shop. The layout was super awesome, the staff was friendly and beyond professional, and the there were lots of tea options. We got to try some samples before picking one. Was a really good experience and I couldn’t recommend it enough. Definitely am visiting again in the future.

Love the teas and the atmosphere! They have amazing honeys too
