Telsaan Tea & Coffee

I love their loose tea quality and price. We live in Illinois and will stop by again in a few weeks. Owner was very helpful. We got Tulsi, (Holy Basil) and hibiscus.

I am a lifelong soda drinker but recently only started drinking tea, so I knew I had to train my taste buds to accept and appreciate this new experience. The best way to do this is to go to tea houses in the area and rely on the expertise of staff to guide me. Telsaan is a bit out of the way for a Madison resident but well worth the trip. I described what I thought I liked and what I definitely did not like and tested a couple of teas. I learned not to steep too long. Erin is very knowledgeable and super friendly. The prices were very reasonable and I went home with a greater appreciation of this ancient beverage. Thanks, Telsaan!

This place is really nice, lots of tea variety. If you come in and describe the type tea you want, the owner will know what to get. The setup is a bit different, but nice and enjoyable. The old, renovated building the shop is in, looks wonderful and has room for several customers, with large and small tables to sit and chat.
They do serve food, and I highly recommend the Johnwich, it was the bomb! The food is veggie based, but they use good Wisconsin cheese, and the spices they added to the meals made them very savory! Downside to this delightful place; there isn’t any meat in the menu. BUT don’t let that stop you! Try it, as its delish!

What a great selection of teas! Erin, the owner, who I met just last week, really knows her teas and helped me choose ones that suited my taste. Prices are very good and service is excellent. Haven’t tried the food but will sometime soon. I’ll be back as soon as I run out of tea but I bought enough to last a while. Might also make good gifts as the teas are truly unique. Try the Vanilla Rooibos… delicious.

I was so excited when I’d heard Telsaan had opened in Mount Horeb. I’m a huge fan of tea, and while I can get a tasty chai latte almost anywhere, this kind of selection is something I’ve been longing for.
Erin is sweet as can be, and she really knows her stuff. She was more than happy to walk around the shop with a friend and I to discuss the different types of tea. When asked if they had any «smokey» teas, she became excited because a few other people had also asked for it. She promised that she would find some and carry it — that’s great service! I love that you can wander the space and see/​smell all the teas offered. It’s great that you can get a cup or buy the loose leaf to take home. There’s a nice open comfort to this place.
I haven’t eaten a meal here yet, but I intend to. If I remember correctly, the entire menu is vegan. The sweet bread that I did get was very yummy. I also think it’s super cute that she makes and ties off the tea-​bags for to-​go orders herself, and it was quite obvious that she wants you to have the best experience possible. I see samples, product updates and offers listed on their FB page, and there’s a first game night coming up. I hear other events may be popping up in the future. One important thing to keep in mind is that they only accept credit/​debit cards.
I live near Mount Horeb and look forward to making this a regular spot. This is the kind of business (and owner) that I make a point of supporting — places like Telsaan only add to their community.

Welcome addition to Mt Horeb’s Main Street shops neighborhood A cute little tea place tucked into the old Sole Sapori building. You can drink tea prepared by the knowledgeable owner along with very reasonably priced fresh snacks. Big tables to gather around with friends to catch up or meet new folks. Best of all, there are SOOOO many kinds of tea to choose from; it’s a REAL tea place — (although the coffee is yummy, too.) I’m usually a tea drinker and am often disappointed by tea selections in coffee shops — but not here! Even better, I can try my loose-​leaf tea BEFORE buying it to take home — I’m in heaven! Oh — and if you are new to tea, or haven’t found any you like– just let the owner know — she will help you pick out something to try!
