Hebden Tea Company

Such high quality service. The products are amazing especially their sencha teas. I came here for Japanese tea ceremony items and found them! Staff were lovely, genuine and happy to help. Plus, there was an adorable dog Dusty I think? eager for belly rubs! What more could you ask for really?

Gorgeous, lovely and of a very high quality! A great place to stay and to enjoy a perfect tea and a delicious cake in the Shambles. We loved the dogs too!

Great shop. So many amazing teas to taste and smell. The staff were super friendly, gave good advice and we came away with some fantastic tea.

This place is gem visited last week and came out with big smile on the face such a beautiful cozy environment, feels like you are in another world Those varieties of tea captivated us. My friend loved it. And the girl who explained us all the process how the tea making process goes like, she was really kind, helpful & knowledgeable. First she explained to me, then my friend came back from the washroom, she again explained him patiently. Thank you for your incredible service definitely visiting again, highly recommended

I'm very impressed with this tea shop + tearoom. Difficult to find anywhere in the UK up to this standard. By way of selection, there is definitely something for everyone here. As for Chinese and Japanese style teas, which are what I'm personally most interested in, I wouldn't say they have any particular types of tea they have an in-depth specialized collection of except perhaps for a good selection of matchas, but they definitely have something to quench your thirst for any type of tea craving you might have. I didn't try or buy any of their pǔ'ěr, but it does look like their selection of authentic raw and ripe teacakes + tuóchá would be great for anyone looking to get into these types of tea, which is something that is notoriously hard to find in UK tea shops. There was a lovely inviting pǔ'ěr tea aroma in the shop, and a tea table where a member of staff was brewing some green teas for people to sample. Had a great conversation with the staff, and it was clear that they were very enthusiastic about tea. In the end I bought some okumidori matcha, and a stem hōjicha roasted kukicha. I also went to the tea room, which was a lovely experience. I really like the integrated tea trays they have on every table. I had some jīnxuān oolong, which they served in a very pretty and smooth-pouring unglazed clay teapot, along with a pitcher of hot water. This definitely works well, and gives a far more enjoyable tea experience than you're ever likely to get in any other cafe, tearoom, or restaurant in the area that serves tea. If I could give some suggestions for what I'd like to see: perhaps a slightly more specialised tea set, with a tea pitcher gōngdàobēi, smaller teacups, and a fine mesh strainer. Also insulated flasks are good for storing hot water for re-steeping the leaves so it doesn't end up too cold. Also I do think a higher proportion of leaf in the pot would have been nice, to get some more strong steeps out of the session. Really glad I visited, and this is definitely somewhere I'd like to go again whenever I next go to York. I hope this shop helps bring more people into the world of good tea.

An amazing selection of delicious teas. The store is large and over two floors. There are samples available so you can try a few of the popular teas. The guy working there is helpful, super knowledgeable and seems to really care about the produce. If you buy from here you get a 10% off coupon from the tea shop next door. The guy was very rude to some Chinese tourists in the queue ahead of me so I removed a star.

Huge selection of teas from plain black or green to some really unique flavours. I bought the Spiced Maple Chai and the Chinese Jasmine and both are amazing. Good prices, unbeatable selection and friendly staff. The tea room next door is a great idea if you’re unsure about what tea to buy as you can taste it first and get excellent advice from staff on the best way to brew/drink it.

The best tea shop in Yorkshire. Our go to place for tea - we come over from Leeds to buy tea here. The assortment is huge - any tea you desire. The quality is great - all teas keep their aromas and flavours for along time. The shop is very cosy and staff are great. They have online shop too, but if you get a chance - visit in person to look at the whole selection of teas and smell them.

A small place with a huge selection of teas. Seating is a wail able and comfortable and it’s cheaper than most coffee shops as well as more charming. The staff member present was pleasant and knowledgeable and the background music was low-key and unobtrusive.

Great atmosphere and very friendly staff. Had a scone and coffee/ only reason I didn’t give a five star rating is that the scone should have been warmed up
