Food: Thank you Fava Tea and your store associates. My best friend came into your store knowing that she can't go wrong with any purchase and my favorites are stored in the computer. Katie asked (the lady with long hair, sorry I forgot her name)for help making flavor selections. Katie walked out with a BUFFET of tea flavors. And the best part is, as the story was told to me, that your store associate knew enough about what I drink and how I drink it - that she made a comment to Katie about it. 'She drinks some of these hot and some of them cold - so you will have her set up for anything she might want on a given day' Thanks for a great birthday gift. I am stocked!!! |

Food: I visited Fava on a trip to Appleton and now am a fan of their web store. Living in the south, I know tea. Let me tell you, you have something really special with Fava Tea. They really know tea-- I have been drinking tea for a while, and I learned new stuff. I love the quality of the tea (Award Winning teas) and that they are open to tell you where it comes from and offer different brands of tea. Many other places offer tea as a sideline, but really don't take it seriously. They do because that's all they do, and that is what makes them so special. You just gotta go. |

Food: I love this place! I have been to other places that sell tea in the Valley and Green Bay-- they are just sad. Don't know the product. In fact, one store in GB said that their Darjeeling was frome Sri Lanka. Really? How can that be?? Love their free trade and organic teas. Have you tried their tea rubs? Awesome, just awesome. |

Food: Please just lock me in here for a few days so I can try everything because dammit I'm not good at making decisions when I have this many options! This place is a tea-lover's dream. Dozens upon dozens of greens, blacks, reds, whites, and herbals in any flavor you can think of. Free samples of one of each. Really reasonable prices. You can smell any of their teas from a little tin reserved just for that purpose, and they'll brew a cup of anything. The ladies working here were really friendly, helpful, and not pushy at all. Just go. |

Many different loose and sachet teas to choose from and the staff is really easy to talk to and know their stuff. Not like going to coffee shops or other places that 'side-line' in teas-- this is just tea, baby. Also like their fair trade and organic selection. |

The variety of tea is simply wonderful and their tea wares are always high quality and change often. I've been going since they opened, and I have quite a collection of tea now. There is nothing like loose leaf tea when it comes to taste! Their environment is really casual and you can take all the time you need to pick out the perfect tea. |

Food: The only time I would even consider drinking tea is when I felt a cold coming on and I wanted a hot beverage to soothe my throat. Now I start each day with hot tea from Fava Tea. I recently tasted a cold tea (by accident) and LOVED IT! I never had any intention of trying a cold tea - and now I have cravings for it. Thank you to Melissa for her passion. I serve Fava Tea to all of my clients during our planning sessions. |

They are ALWAYS helpful and always willing to help you find what is just right for you. When trying to find something for a gift, they really listen and find just the right things to make your receiver happy for a long time. I recommend them highly, it's the only place I go to now when I want to spoil myself. |

Starting at one ounce, you can bring home a varity of teas to suit ANY taste, from coconut truffle to goddess of mercy (over a couple hundred teas). Not only are the gals there friendly, they were knowledgable about their tea. WAY TO GO, FAVA TEA! |

Food: Last summer I quit my soda habit and needed a new caffeine source. I turned to green tea as a more healthy solution. I disliked tea until I went to Fava - just couldn't handle the taste. They were wonderful at Fava, and helped turn me into a self-declared 'tea snob', I won't touch grocery store stuff. They are incredibly helpful and suggest fantastic new flavors every time I visit. Now I crave my daily tea. Thanks, Fava! |

The selection is great, the staff is very friendly and willing to answer any questions, and the prices are very reasonable. By the way, I put 'lacking' for food because they really don't have any, which doesn't bother me one bit...just focus on the tea. |

Being from out of town, I've only been in the store once and have ordered from the website the rest of the time. Ordering from the web holds the same personal attention that physically visiting the store does. I wish this store was closer to me..... |

We were treated to a shortened version of tea 101 and learned so much!(who knew that the brewing temp. makes a difference in the taste?!) The clerk was enthusiastic and eager for us to learn more. Can't wait to visit again. Thank you for such a nice experience. |

Food: Once upon a time, I thought tea was tea - little bags I picked up by the dozen in aisle 6 of the local grocery store. Then, a visit to Fava changed everything. Turns out tea is more than a drink. It's a journey to exotic places with tastes that range from subtle and light to rich and full bodied, with a zillion flavors in between. Seriously! One shelf takes you to ancient China, while another takes you to a serene garden, while yet another takes you to the candy store! And the staff makes the journey a ball! To anyone interested in discovering a whole new world of taste (and fun), I would STRONGLY recommend a trip to Fava Tea Company!!! |

The service is excellent with a friendly, knowledgeable staff anxious to share their enthusiasm for amazing tea. Customers can browse the relaxed store and sample several 'teas of the day'. After looking at as many teas as your senses can handle, you can buy as little as one ounce. Fresh-brewed teas to go as well. What's not to like??? Fava Tea ROCKS! |

Food: I have tried this store now 3 times and EVERY time the service is lacking. Instead of offering me customer service they are more concerned in proving me wrong and the salespeople are lacking in the knowledge that is needed in handling the most basic skills. I would much rather drive to Milw and visit that tea store even though it is more expensive than to visit this store again. |
