Open entering this shop that was an energy that I felt comfortable with... WELCOME...The shop itself has quite the blend of infusers, herbal teas, assorted items that you can use with teas,etc. Friendly staff and as always, I check the restroom area for cleanliness and I was impressed. My opinion !!

The variety and quality of tea available is astounding. The shop also offers an eclectic array of sundry items perfect for gifting. I love that a cup of tea can be enjoyed in either their cozy tea room or outside at one of their charming street side tables.

Nice selection of teas and sundries. They also have some baked goods to go with the tea. You can buy a cup or a bag of tea for home.

I went here today on a whim, knowing nothing about tea, and hoping the staff would be willing to be kind, and willing to (for lack of a better term) tell me what I wanted, and I was blown away. I was recommended several teas based on my personality and what I wanted to get out of drinking them. I am typically a coffee drinker so a good portion of my selections were based on that, but I cannot undersell how kind and warm the staff was. They 100% enhance the experience of an already warm feeling atmosphere

Stopped in for a cup of tea on my lunch break today and it was delightful! A super quaint and quirky spot that I definitely plan to visit again! The tea I had was very good, and the ambiance was peaceful and serene. Sure to be my new favorite place for exotic teas and a fun place to bring a friend to sit and chat! This place is funky and fun and you should definitely check it out, sooner rather than later!

Best tea shop I’ve ever been to and such a good local find in Greensboro. The people who work there are always so nice and helpful if you don’t know what you want and give great recommendations. They have GF and V snack options and cute trinkets for tea lovers.

First time here and the variety of teas is astounding! The staff was polite and welcoming. She asked questions to make sure we got exactly what we wanted. My spouse got the vanilla chai-me! and said it was the best vanilla chai she has ever had. The black dragon oolong that I had was a strong and earthy tea, just perfect. There is so much to see and experience in this place.

My favorite place to get studying done! I like to try a new tea every time and I have yet to be disappointed. The owner is super friendly and the shop has a lot of great gift items for tea lovers. Try the apples and apricots tea- its delicious hot or cold!

So were in a pandemic. Six weeks ago we had to pay a significant amount of money to seal our basement after it flooded for the first time. I was stuck at home, thinking, what would make me feel better, and remembered Sarah at Vida Pour Tea. I have not been able to get to the shop due to deciding to do whatever I could to ensure my safety. I ordered online several teas (some I knew about but never tried from her store) and was so excited to get them. I am not kidding, every tea has been exceptional! And, her teas have always been a warm fuzzy for me and especially now. She is extremely knowledgeable in what she buys for her customers and when you come in gives great suggestions according to what you need or want. A big thank you going out to Sarah for the commitment she puts into her product and services she provides for Greensboro! Joanie T.

In love with this place!!!! I came yesterday for the first time because I have been looking for a local place that sells loose leaf teas!!! There is such a vast assortment of teas and all kinds of homemade goodies. Cannot wait to come back!!! Drinking a cup of blueberry and hibiscus as I type. Cute little atmosphere and super kind owner. 👌👌❤

Review №26

Very nice Tea Shop. It is very clean, much cleaner than any of the coffee shops I have been to lately. I lamented over Teavanna closing, this place is so much better than that! Great selection of teas, and tea knowledgeable staff.The only reason it does not get five stars is that prices for many things are not clearly listed. That always makes me feel like prices are made up on the spot.They have addins that can be added to the drink you get. I had basil added to mine and my wife had ginger for hers. It was delicious and not expensive.They also have a lounge are in the back that can be reserved for events.We will come back here. Fantastic! You should come here.Edit on 12/12/2018 ...I went back here and got more tea and some Christmas presents. Awesome. I am a coffee drinker historically, but the oolongs and greens I have been getting here are so good I am drinking tea at the office instead.

The place is quiet and cozy, with many selections of tea and drinks. If youre stuck on deciding which beverage to choose from, the staff there is very helpful and will understand if you have any preference in milks and flavors. I highly reccomend this place if you want some alone time or a nice study place with a friend or two. Will come back again!

Review №31

Ive been visiting Vida Pour Tea for over two years now. Still, Im utterly delighted every time I go. The wide selection never disappoints, the prices are incredible -- way cheaper than coffee shops in the area. So cheap -- when I take friends, I can buy their tea, make them feel special and only pay would I would normally pay for a 16 or 20 oz latte at Starbucks. Ive said it before, and Ill say it again. Vida Pour Tea is my slow jam. Love it.

Vida Pour Tea feels like a cozy fairytale storybook shop that popped up just for you! You can tell how much the employees and work culture of this business really cares for supporting Greensboro by all of the unique, nifty, local products they carry. I love their Instagram feed and healthy tea blends. The perfect spot to get work and school work done, rain or shine. Sometimes, parking can be tricky, but it is well worth it. It has an enchanted, relaxing, self care feel to it. The art and window displays are lovley. You always leave feeling better!

Vida Pour Tea is an absolutely awesome hidden gem on State Street in Greensboro! They have great brewers, a HUGE/delicious tea selection, the atmosphere and natural lighting in the place is warm and inviting, and the staff are always in the greatest of moods. Vida Pour Tea is more than just a place to go get tea, its a place to hangout by yourself or with friends, a great place to study/make quarterly decisions, and a great place to purchase local products. I would 100% recommend coming to Vida Pour Tea if youre in the area!

It’s such a lovely, comfy, and cozy place. The ambiance and atmosphere is very appealing and tranquil; along with the scent as well. It has such a wide variety of teas, treats, as well as natural beauty products. It was my first time here and I was really impressed. I thought it would be expensive but it’s actually on the contrary. The prices are very average and the teas and coffees are actually quite good.

Review №45

I love this place! Its quiet, kind of out of the way, and welcoming. On a nice day, you can sit outside. With a friend, its a lovely place to chat. If you need solace, the back room is usually unoccupied and very relaxing. Its a great place to study, drink expertly brewed tea, and enjoy local baked goods. They also sell little, locally-made crafty-type items.

LOVE this place. Get the iced lavender matcha. STRAWBERRY tea for the kids is a must! The owner is so helpful and always ready to give suggestions or answer questions. Clean bathrooms, quiet areas, extra treats and gifts available for purchase. It is in a cute shopping center with restaurants, spas and shopping

Review №47

Vida Pour is by far one of my favorite spaces in Greensboro. The tea shop is top notch, organic AND fair trade! The owner is wonderful, and creates all of her own loose leaf tea blends. She is knowledgeable, but by no means does the shop have a snobby atmosphere. The space is ideal for working or lounging, and parking is never an issue. She is also willing to ship orders (which is great since I no longer live in NC). Again, I love this place and highly recommend to both tea addicts and occasional or new drinkers alike.

Awesome Place and Great Owner!Sara is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable about her business. I have never met anyone who knows more about tea! I took a client there for a coaching conversation and the environment is relaxed, the tea is great, and it is a great place to get work done, catch up with friends, or have some downtime relaxing on your own.Thanks Sara!

Vida Pour Tea is my SLOW JAM. I actually say this to everyone who asks. I have about five years of coffee experience, and I love coffee, but its refreshing to visit a tea shop. There, Im able to try TONS of new things. The customer service is amazing, too. This is worth noting because I dont know nearly as much about tea as I do coffee. I highly recommend Vida Pour Tea to tea lovers, people upset about the cost of coffee or anyone looking to relax with a friend.

I have found a new favorite place to study! Everyone is very friendly, tea is delicious as are the pastries and chicken salad croissant sandwich. I love that it is quiet, has sufficient outlets, wifi and that I am not pumping my body full of coffee throughout the day, although they do sell coffee too. I look forward to studying there because the ambiance is just a perfect home away from home feel. Highly recommend!

I will have to say this is the best tea shop Ive been to anywhere in the country! And Im an avid tea drinker, in fact I could probably call myself a tea nerd lol. The staff are always very accommodating, professional, and friendly. Theres also a wide selection of yummy treats, and cool art decor. The back room is so wonderful for relaxing, and someone like me who is a writer, I can find a lot of inspiration at this enchanting tea shop, I love it!!! 🍵❤️☺️

An absolutely flawless tea (and coffee) shop. Highlights are the Vanilla Bean Green, Roasted Chestnuts Black, and Egyptian Chamomint. I just got a mix of spearmint and coconut oolong and it is perfect. You will not walk out unsatisfied. If you dont drink tea, just tell them your favorite normal drink and they will find you something you will like.
