Light of Day Organic Farm & Tea Shop - Traverse City, Michigan

So impressed with this tea and the ordering experience! While home for the holidays I tried the creamy earl grey at Cuppa Joe in the TC commons, it was the best tea I’ve ever had. The next day I went to Cuppa Joe on front street for another and to ask where they get their tea from, they were very helpful and told me all about Light of Day. Once back home I ordered a container from Light of Day. My order arrived two days later in a beautiful container, with wonderful tea, and a very nice thank you from the company. On my next trip home I look forward to visiting their location. Best tea ever!

Light of Day has the best loose leaf tea I have ever tasted. And I absolutely adored their tea room and gardens. The staff is very knowledgeable, kind, and helpful. I could have stayed for hours smelling teas on the sniff bar. You may be off put by the prices, but please remember you are paying for quality here. And boy is this quality tea! Even on a foggy, drizzly day this place seemed magical.

What a wonderful gift Light of Day and Angela! If you are nearby this is a one of kind place that you will not find anywhere else. The tea is perfect and so are the conversations.

This place is magical! I have been a loyal LOD tea customer for over a decade. I visit the tea farm and shop several times a year. I always bring my friends from out of town to visit this peaceful place and enjoy the beautiful selection of teas. I feel so blessed that I have this incredible place in my town.

The Tea 101 class is phenomenal!! I have taken it 3 times over the years (the first time was in 2013) and I learn something new every single time. I always attend with a friend and they love it too. Angela, the owner, is PASSIONATE about tea, the wonderful qualities, ceremony, traditions, and medicinal benefits of tea. And she shares so much with you during this class. You will learn so much! Do not hesitate to become a more educated tea enthusiast.

The tea shop has the most amazing blends. Angela was born to blend, infuse, and create teas for the world to enjoy. The labor of love that is in each tin of tea will have you trying to figure out how to bring every one of them home with you. I have an entire cupboard dedicated to LOD Teas. The richness of each blend will have you brewing tea all year long. You can taste the love and passion in every sip. The tea is so amazing, I can brew several cups from just one scoop. It seems like an investment until you figure out how many cups you can brew from one canister and that the quality of your tea is exponentially higher than anything you can purchase at the grocery store.

I live off of “Sun in the Winter” during the cold winter months. I swear by its power to ward off colds. “Blueberry Blessings” is my favorite spring blend. “Hummingbird Nectar” is my favorite iced tea during the hot summer months. “Heartwarming Cinnamon“ and “Sunday Morning” are my favorites for fall. Matcha is my daily morning health ritual for the last decade. I only buy matcha from LOD! They are the only ones I trust to ensure it’s pure and fresh and viable. I love all their teas. I can’t get enough of them! I want them all!!

Level up your tea time. Life is too short to drink anything but the very best!

This was a nice stop and I would like to go back with more time to enjoy and without children in tow. The tea was very good! It would be nice if there were more options to get smaller sampling of several different flavors to purchase loose tea. The tea canisters are pricey and I am sure that they use top quality ingredients. I love what all you are doing and I wish it was not so far away so that I could visit again sooner rather than later! In the meantime, we will enjoy the Hummingbird Nectar blend! 😊

I took the Tea 101 class with my mom and daughter. We had such a great time learning about and tasting the different tea preparations. Angela was so welcoming. Our favorite teas were the matcha, white tea, and creamy earl grey. We will definitely be back for a visit next time we are in the Traverse City area.

Quaint shop with nice grounds despite the snow. A nice selection of special tea & herbs. I'm enjoying the Chai tea. Definitely check them out when in the area.

Came here last year and forgot to make a review! This was such a fun place. When I was there the inside wasn't open, but they did have a food truck style trailer that they were serving out of. The teas we tried were phenomenal! The pricing on full containers is out of my personal budget, but are worth every penny (and if you do the math its pretty cheap per cup for some amazing tea!). Can't wait to come out this summer!
