Gryphon’s Tea

This was my first stop of the day on my Lawrenceville cookie tour. The store is small but the clerk I met Corrin was very helpful and friendly. You can get a cup of tea for only $ 2.00-along with their cookie sample almond oat cookie.
She asked me what I wanted since there was a big variety to choose from. I asked for one with a fruity flavor and ended up with a red berry tea. She explained to me the importance of proper «steep» time depending upon the type you choose. Most of the tea sold here is loose but you can purchase 100 tea empty envelopes for $ 4.00. Tea is sold by the ounce and depending upon how many cups you drink you can get a lot from a little. She suggested that if I wished to purchase then I should start at 4 oz. Again prices are very reasonable here.
There is a small sitting area where you can relax and enjoy your tea. Behind that area are teapots and even one shaped like one a carry bottle with the infuser built in! All you need to add is the hot water. I thought my tea was okay and didn’t need any sugar or other additives. When I was getting ready to leave she turned what I had left into a to go cup and let my berry tea bag sit in it. The flavor of this particular tea doesn’t get overdone so it was just right for me to continue on my tour.
A very quaint shop with very reasonable prices and very helpful and knowledgeable service!

Good variety of teas, inexpensive and staff is very knowledgeable and friendly!

outstanding. friendly and they know how to blend tea. also prices are very reasonable for the quality put forth. worth the trip.

I am so happy that my friend recommended I stop into this place. I am an avid tea drinker, even in the summer, and was thrilled to stop into a shop with such a variety and broad selection. They have everything from my (favorite) low-​brow ‘breakfast’ varieties, including Scottish, Irish, English, and more, to really nicely spiced chais, a dizzying amount of herbal tisanes, greens, whites, etc. I suggested they start hosting classes so that peeps like me can step up our game. I got great recommendations from the staff and they introduced me to new teas I am really getting into!

A great selection of teas with knowledgable and friendly staff. My only complaint is that this store isn’t more like a café. I would love to take a load off and do some work online while I sip on my tea.

This is one of the places I miss most now that I’ve moved out of Lawrneceville! Get a cup to go and/​or some loose leaf tea for later. The staff is very friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable. My favorite teas so far are the Roasted Mate, Chai Mate, and Hearts of Hunan (spelling?),

An open minded business with lots of interesting options and offerings. They also provide fermented teas, savory herbs and homeopathic teas. Daily special. No, I don’t work there, I’m just an enthusiast. Enjoyed the Sheng Pu-​erh

Tea heaven! I went in and asked if their was anything he suggests for a cold or sore throat ad he was happy to help. So bummed that this place was put in after I moved but I’ll be sure to visit every time I visit!
