Velvet Monkey - McMinnville

Down steps just off of one of the busy streets is a quiet oasis. Teas and some sweet treats such as handmade truffles. Lavender lemonade was yummy and the stop was welcomed after a bit of shopping.

Green tea was lovely.Retail service and selection was excellent.Bubble Tea was okay.

The best place to get highest quality tea. They have a wide selection of green/black/herbal teas and I even found Ayurveda teas. If you have a friend or family member that's into teas, there's a selection of teapots and cups available, from cute and whimsical to pro-tea drinker. The staff is fabulous, they take their time with each customer.

Loving my new Tealyra tea pot! It works on my gas stove, brews tea most excellently, washes up easily and it's so much prettier than my old one! Right now it's holding the last of a batch of Huckleberry Black tea. Thank you, Velvet Monkey for the a wonderful Valentine's Day gift from my sweetie!

I’m not a tea guy but after coming to the Velvet Monkey, I may become one. Great atmosphere, excellent tea varieties all over the wall to choose from, and incredible customer service. The owners are wonderful people. I left with several large bags of tea.
