Located in the utterly charming arcade, the Tea Lab is a small storefront with a vast selection of tea. The menu doesn’t quite match what’s on the wall, so look at both. You’ll be able to smell things if you want, and you can either have tea steeped for you or buy loose-leaf to take home. If you have your tea steeped, it’s done properly with the right temperature water and a timer, and you can carry it out or sit in the arcade. The only downside is the disposable cups, so try to bring your own mug if you can.

The Tea Lab has a vast selection of tea. The flavors and variety are great and really quite reasonably priced. I usually buy tea from Teavanna, and the Tea Lab is at least half the price for better quality!

This place is wonderful! After doing some searches for tea shops downtown, I read the rave reviews and have been dying to stop in. The Tea Lab lived up to my expectations, and then some. The place is very tiny, but they do their best to cram every inch of space with tea and tea products. The walls are lined with every type of tea yo can imagine. The man working was so helpful and nice, asking me about my preferences and making suggestions. I loved that many of the teas were organic and fair trade. After learning about and smelling many, I finally selected a few to take home with me. I walked out with 4 types of tea and tea bags for less than $ 18, which was fairly priced in my opinion. This place is a hidden gem in downtown Cle, and a place I will be visiting often!

Ummm. TEAHEAVEN! Stopped at the Tea Lab after a lunch downtown in which I had a serious tea hankering. The gentleman that assisted me, Taylor was awesome, super friendly and knowledgable. There is a large selection of teas organized by type of tea being the indecisive person I am, it took me awhile to work my way through smelling the ones I wanted to. They will make you a hot or iced tea togo as well which is a great way to try out different teas without having to buy the 1oz minimum. The shop is quaint and cute with a bunch of tea accessories. I don’t know of any other place downtown that you can buy loose leaf tea. Will definitely be back!

This place has many more options than Tevana for loose leaf tea. What makes it a great store however is the knowledgeable and friendly worker. Another nice touch was the spinning rack that contained a sample of each tea behind the counter. That way you can open a small tin of the tea, smell it, see how big/small the leaves are. The shop is pretty small, but in the window there are tea pots, mugs, strainers, etc for sale. I found the products reasonably and competitively priced and I purchased myself a tea pot. I find it perfect as it allows none of the tea leaves into the drink. Note this shop is located in the 5th street arcade on the south side of Euclid. You can enter from Euclid or Prospect. It’s on the east side of the arcade closer to Euclid than Prospect.

I finally stopped in last week after months of walking by on a daily basis. I am so glad I did — this place is fantastic! The girl working that day was so knowledgeable and helped me pick out a new tea to try based on another blend that I already knew I liked. The Happy Colada is delicious and refreshing. They sell tea strainers of various sizes. I picked one up for work for $ 3. It is awesome to see so many cool places filling in the Arcade!

Love this place. But have to admit I passed by it a few times afraid to walk in and explore. It was a cold day in December and I was walking through the 5th St. Arcade with my mom and sister and the nice gentleman working lured us in. First with a sample and then with his charm. Do you like tea? Different kinds? Detox? Sleepytime? Winter Berry? Citrus… there is a whole rounder of teas to smell and try. You then purchase the amount you would like, I purchased a box of 100 tea bags to put the serving size of tea in, and was off to try them at home. Love! Can’t wait to go back and try more flavors.

Amazing tea selection! Cleveland needed a place like this! Try the Christmas blend! It’s so festive and yummy!

This place packs a lot of great things into a pretty small space. They offer a stunning array of teas in green, black, herbal, and everything in between. In addition to the loose-leaf tea, they also carry everything you could want to brew it. The proprietors are friendly and knowledgable, and a tea nerd like me couldn’t ask for more. This is a most welcome addition to the 5th Street Arcades.
