Tebella Tea Company

When Teavana went out of business, i was really upset because my husband and i are avid tea drinkers. And i was going to buy my tea online, but i was really really skeptical about that. Then we happen to find the Sarasota location, i was in heaven!!! This was 3 plus years ago...The employees are super nice. When we go in, they are super friendly and happy to be there. The knick-knacks and kettles and what not are a bit price, but this is a small business, so that's expected. But the tea! Oh man I can go on and on about it. First off, the costs is way cheaper than teavana ever was. I was explained by the staff that the owner doesn't have a middle man to pick the teas. She does it herself and that she works with farmers directly. Also when the pandemic hit, they didn't inflate their costs at all. Only last year, or late 2021 the owner had to raise the prices up just by a bit, which didn't even hurt the wallet. SO THANK YOU!!! My favorite tea is the black caramel tea. You smell it and its like biting into a caramel candy. I like to pair it hot or cold with my pumpkin spice creamer. the sugar they use is really good on price. Its a bit cheaper than what i found online. And it makes my tea taste sooo good. Don't use regular white sugar with their tea! Any ways we like going to either davis island or sarasota location. its clean and cute and people are super nice. I tell the folks that work there that i love the locations and to keep trucking. I love this shop and if I can give you guys 6 stars i would.

I love TeBella! TeBella has an amazing tea selection. They have such a large variety you can choose from, it’s hard to try them all!

I tried their banana bread fog tea and was so good, it tasted just like a banana bread. I enjoyed it iced after a morning run. The lady recommended I pair it with almond milk and it was perfect. Highly recommend!

On Saturday morning, I decided to visit TeBella to take part in the Yelp tea experience. I chose to visit their Davis Island location and upon entering the shop, I was delighted to see the beautiful interior decor of TeBella. I was in awe of the ambiance.

Rachel, my host, warmly welcomed me and gave me a brief history of the store. She also introduced me to the different tea flavors they offer, including their autumn specials.

I decided to go with the Banana Bread Fog, which was exclusive to the Yelp elite squad. It was a cold drink and tasted absolutely delicious. I couldn't get enough of the flavor.

I want to thank Yelp for introducing me to this amazing local business.

Yesterday I found this cute tea place on Davis Islands and I am in love! I had the lavender fog tea and it was perfect. They also have fine chocolate and macarons. The girls there were so nice and helpful. They have a huge catalog of loose tea that you can buy and have their marvelous tea at home. I'm so happy I found this place!

I am disappointed. Salesman said they have original Chinese high quality tea and owner selected all tea and delivery from China. I bought White Peony and Silver Needles. I expected to get Bai Mu Dan (White Peony) and Bai Hao Yin Zhen (silver needle) but it was something weird. I drink green tea last 15 year, since when I first time visited China but flavor and aroma is so different from original tea , tests like old broom after sauna, looks like they use old and blend it with very low quality green tea to reduce tea costs. Definitely this is my first and last time when I bought tea in this tea shop.

This is the cutest tea shop in Tampa. They have a wide selection of teas ranging from herbal to the standard green, black, white, etc....

There is a little nook in the back where you can sit and study while enjoying your tea. You can get it hot or iced, as a latte or as a fog, as well as take some loose leaf home with you too!

There are multiple locations to include an outlet at Oxford Exchange and an outlet in St. Pete inside Station House.

Compared to all the overcrowded coffee shops around town, this hidden gem keeps me coming back for a quiet space to read and study.

Store was clean. Lots of merchandise that can given as a gifts. Tons of tea. They also have herbal tea as well. Fruit teas plus many more. I purchased the Peach Passion tea, its delicious.
