Teasider

Best tea in Madison and beyond. We have a few of their incredible imported green teas at home and would never go anywhere else even for simpler teas like earl grey or chamomile. Best chai/matcha lattes (hot and cold) and friendly, awesome staff. We love this business!

This tea shop is beautiful inside and a good place to purchase high-quality tea to brew at home. I purchased some GYOKURO and Hojicha to take home and they are both phenomenal. My one issue with this place is that I went there looking forward to having tea in the shop, but all the seats were taken, and when I asked if I could stand in the shop and enjoy the tea, I was told that I could not. So, if there are no seats available, one is required to have takeout tea, which is not a very ideal nor welcoming experience. I would like to persuade the shop to do things differently! Their argument for why I couldn’t hang out and stand and drink my tea was that they needed room for people to shop their wares (I.e teapots etc). And their wares are wonderful and beautiful! But why not let people hang o

I come here a few times a year and buy so much herbal tea. I love, love, love their blends. I do wish they had more open hours. Pic below of my latest buy

I LOVE Teasider. Their bulk matcha is high quality and a great start to every morning. The staff is kind and knowledgeable, always helpful in their recommendations. Today I was recommended the Sobacha (Japanese buckwheat) for a warm and cozy afternoon. The vibes inside are great, and I appreciate a laptop-free space.

They know what they are doing. I got the matcha with oat milk, and it was earthy and delicious. Will definitely be coming back! They had a great selection of cute cups, cutlery, kitchen tools, and authentic east Asian teas. If there was something I had to point out, the Indian stuff did not seem as authentic, "Masala chai" with cinnamon for instance. But that's not the vibe they're going for anyway, so it doesn't really matter as much.
