Reviews Homegrown Herb & Tea

Sarah was so nice to speak with while she was hand making our teas! We tried the purple haze and the summertime. Both crisp and light! Perfect for a walk over to Peaks Island. Adding this to our revisit place when we come back to Maine! ❤️

This tea shop is magical and I love coming here when I am in Portland. If you can stay for a cup I recommend sitting in the window. Sarah is very knowledgeable and can give you a recommendation or blend something special for you depending on what you need. I have ordered online as well and it was very easy and quick. This place is so unique!

Have been a an of tea and tea establishments for many years. Most of my purchases are made online. Was looking for someplace in the local Portland Maine area. Found the web site for Homegrown and desired to check it out. Getting around and parking in Portland can be a test of patience but I found the shop in a few small store on lower Congress street, even found a parking spot. Many of the specialty stores are Modern and glitzy. Homegrown is the kind of store your grandmother would frequent. The interior isn't designed by a plan-a-gram, it more like an old time shop showcasing personal taste and knowledge. The owner, who’s name is Sarah, pleasantly greats each customer and is a wealth of information about the teas that she blends right in front of you. No pre*packed, who knows how long it’s been on the shelve product. I choose a Lapsang and my wife had a Earl Gray. The teas were lovely as was our conversation. Sarah uses her vast knowledge of herbs and fruits to make very tasty tea offerings. The shop also carries a nice collection of other tea items along with spices and honeys. Although it maybe a slight journey to find Homegrown teas it is well worth the investment. The reward in both time and enjoyment make this a place to return to.

Sarah is wonderful and so are her teas and tisanes. The selection of components and apocathery quality locally crafted products are carefully curated and very reasonably priced. Since she's an independent sole proprietor (and frankly a role model as a self made business woman) I have no idea why the one negative reviewer mentioned multiple persons...perhaps he was lost and in a different shop? I encourage you to listen to the rest of us very satisfied customers and enjoy: whether you find yourself stocking up on self care supplies, or just need a moment to pause and realign, this is a great opportunity to do. Ayuravedic, yet approachable. And, there's a guitar and seating for guest use!
