Very knowledgeable. Came in not knowing much about tea and left feeling great about my purchase. Went in for a specific item. They knew everything there was to know about it. Great experience!

We stopped here on our way to Traverse City from the west side of Michigan. I have followed this tea company online for quite awhile and met the owner before at events in the state. She is knowlegeable and friendly. The teas are wonderful and you will receive assistance in choosing what you need and like. Tasting the tea is... More

For the benefit of other readers-- we have a couple of yerts on property for agricultural use. So glad you enjoyed checking it out, and tasting the tea! We try to always have a couple of flavors available to taste when we are open for retail, so there is always something new and delicious to experience. More

I can't say enough about my experience here. Such a genuine and knowledgable staff .... the way they encouraged people to walk around and smell each tea to see if it rang true for them. I had no idea tea could taste so good. There was something for everyone there it seemed, from the "Coffee Convert" to the "Hummingbird Nectar"....... More

So glad you enjoyed your experience! Be sure to bring the kids back in the summer, it is so much fun wandering around the farm and gazebo in the sunshine... nothing healthier than delicious nutritious tea and playing in the fresh air on a Certified Organic farm! More

A nice diversion from the typical tourist stops. The woman in the shop was extremely pleasant and helpful. She went through a thorough explanation of all the teas and their growing process. Offerred delicious samples. Would like to come back during the summer to see more of the farm.

Found the teas quite expensive, but the tasting experience was fun. Expected a discount on purchases after tasting but not available.

Tea is the world's most labor-intensive agricultural product, and we grow it right here in Northern Michigan! What we do not grow ourselves, we source from certified Fair Trade, Organic, and Biodynamic farmers. The price of the tea reflects exceptional flavor and nutritional value, as well as fair wages for all the artisans whose craft contributes to our product. A... More

This is a really neat tea farm. We tried their heartwarming cinnamon tea at Martha's Leelanau Table in Suttons Bay, MI. We fell in love with it from the first sip, which then lead us to find out where we could purchase it. Our find lead us right to the farm store. When we got to the store there was... More

Light of Day Organic Farm and Tea Room is a delight. They carry a wide array of tea for any taste. My favorite is Macha Tea. It is a rare type of tea that must be refrigerated to keep its freshness. It contains the highest level of antioxidants that anything known to man. If Macha is not your style, there... More

Well worth the extra cost to be sipping the best tea in the world. I am so glad I toured your store and was educated by nature's therapeutic properties of raw loose tea.
