Zhi Tea Austin Reviews
Friendly staff with a good variety of teas. I really liked how they’re presented - easy to smell and visually inspect in the sample tin. They do offer tea flights if you’d like to try a few before buying. It’s a nice spot to hang out. Food is not for sale besides a few small snacks to go with the tea but there is an upscale food court in the same parking lot.
This place is so cool! You can order a tea to go, share a pot with friends in the tea room, or enjoy a cup alone. They have tons of flavors of loose leaf and tea bags to purchase, along with tea accessories like cups, tea pots, pitchers, and other stuff. I got the pomegranate white and my husband got the vanilla honey bush. Both were amazing. We also got some tea to take home and make! Can’t wait to come back!
I came here to celebrate a recent achievement and it was the perfect choice! My family bought the tea flight, so we could try many of their different teas at once. It was so fun and delicious. I liked the white pomegranate tea the most. Can't wait to return! Great prices, kind staff, and great atmosphere. Thank you 🙇♀️
What an experience! They have a vast selection of teas to suit every taste. Kenny and another lady was so gracious and introduced me to all their products. I received tea education, got a tea sampling, and left with a wonderful wrapped gift for my friend. Such a lovely and calm place. Thank you Kenny for wrapping up my gift. I can’t wait to come back and sit down to enjoy tea.
When you walk in the door, you immediately feel transported into a zen with peace & tranquility. Teas 🍵 of all sorts with so many benefits. I had so many questions that were answered & I left with two blends of teas of holy basil & turmeric tonic.
This place is a gem! The lady working was so sweet and helpful. This was the perfect tea experience, if you like tea, you have to check it out and try the flight! It was $15 for 4 8 ounce glasses of fresh brewed tea of your choice, there were so many to choose from! They also offered honey syrup and the lady made us a stevia syrup with real leaves. It was definitely a 10/10 experience!!
We love to drink Zhi Tea, and while visiting Austin, we stopped by the shop for the first time. It is a great little shop where you can drink tea on the spot and also buy some of your favorite blends. The lady working there was absolutely wonderful and plenty of help, so much so that we thought she actually owned the place!
Fabulous experience here. I visited Zhi Tea, this adorable little Mom and Pop tea shop🍵 directly after doing a special tea ceremony/ meditation healing session. 🎑 From the moment I walked in I immediately felt super zen and just at peace. 🙏 I was greeted sweetly by Janna, who was not only super friendly and professional, but also Extremely knowledgeable about all things tea, especially pu'erh tea which I came for, and alsoanother herb I was searching for but couldn't really find elsewhere. From a variety of herbs to a diversity of All different types of teas, to freshly baked yummy goodies, this is a magical tea house that Totally rocks. I would go back "just to see Jana!" The tea was just a bonus almost as special as she was. I will DEFINITELY be back again and highly recommend Zhi Tea!!
Excellent local tea house! Great selection, the tea steeper was extremely helpful at the front desk. He made a great cup. I will definitely be back next time I stop through Austin.
Wonderful location and excellent quality of product. Went at a quiet time so we were treated to a mini tasting which was lovely. I recommend splitting a flight between 2 people to really sample their wares. So much to choose from!
Great tea variety. Tea quality is top notch. Zen music and space. I ordered the flight which had 4 tea options. I wanted to try a variety and they were all so good! They also have single serve or multi person tea pots and wifi is available.
Let me tell you about the peace and tranquility you feel as soon as you hit these doors. The people and the vibes make this place a must visit but the star of the show is the Tea..Wow is all I can say..

Love this place! They have dozens of organic tea options. They added pistachio milk which goes great with the matcha. You can buy any of the teas in bulk to take home. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a tasty, refreshing drink.

It is a wonderful place to relax and have specialty teas. It is my first time, and it is so relaxing. I had a great chance to escape from busy daily life. The tea smell makes me calm.
Cozy and warm with very personal customer service (Janna and Kenny owners). They have a great variety of high quality teas to drink or purchase and are very knowledgeable about their teas. When I locked my keys in my car one day, Kenny drove me home to get my spare, that's service! I'm a regular customer forever now💖💖
Nico was the best!! Super sweet service and made my trip here very worth it. Loved the vibes and the tea we tasted was amazing. I plan to go back very soon!
AMAZONG PLACE BUT. Yall should really think about this from a business money making standpoint: yall are only open during most people working hours. So many people can't come at all except on Saturday. Many people would love to come AFTER 5. Most people work ends at 5 or 6 then they wanna relax with tea and coffee after. Like me lol
Finally getting around to writing this long overdue review for Zhi Tea. I have been going here for several years now, and it has now become a place that makes me feel like I have roots in Austin. Words cannot fully capture how grateful I am that this place exists, and Jana is such a lovely human being. For the experience and offerings, everything is fairly priced, and it's clear that the team behind all the blends really cares about quality tea. A tried and true local business run by people who care.
One of my absolute favorite places in Austin. Zhi Tea is full of treats. Stop by for a taste of the tea of the week and to learn about wide assortment of ethically sourced teas. The shop is cozy and inviting with top notch, friendly, and insightful service. Perfect for a date, I strongly recommend the tea flight to get a sampling of different teas. I still can't help myself solo, but if you're not a caffeine junky like me, they can do individual cups as well. If you can't make up your mind, I suggest checking out the wall of $5 tea samples! I always end up leaving with a handful of new teas to try out.

Brunch was DELICIOUS! From beginning to end we had a great time. Fresh food. Great customer service. Beautiful restaurant. Definitely will be back here ! Definitely a MUST GO!
Moved to Texas from Colorado and really missed the tea houses there. Someone on Reddit recommended this place so I thought I would try it out. Am not disappointed at all. A huge selection of teas that you can buy or enjoy in-house on your own or with a group. They have tasting flights as well as some special tea sampling opportunities. The teas are very delicious. All organic and no toxic chemicals (I asked). Their staff are friendly and helpful. I took down a star because there should be more seating and a lounging area for those who wants to chill with a great cup of tea. Their chairs aren’t really that comfortable. I also hope their business grows so 1) I can continue to enjoy their teas out of the house and 2) they add some kind of small bites and board games for those who want to chill here during a lazy afternoon.

I’ve lived in Austin for many years and have been there several times, even before they moved to their current location. In the past, the owner and staff were polite and friendly. However, recently my friend and I went there, and one of the female staff members had a bad attitude. I should have asked for her name or recorded the interaction so I would have more proof to include in this review. Anyway, I won’t recommend this business anymore.
