It's a very cute little shop. Close quarters, lots of breakables, so watch that backpack! The teas all sounded lovely, so I bought a sampler, a couple tea balls, and a black cat spoon rest. The woman working was helpful and nice. The tea is very pricey and not very tasty. We tried a maple tea, an almond tea, a breakfast tea, and a blueberry tea. All but the blueberry was so-so. (Try Harney & Sons in NY for fantastic teas) read more

While in Bar Harbor, we ducked into this tea shop to see what they had to offer. The location is super convenient, right on the downtown square, and surrounded by convenient parking if you came by car. Inside, the place is packed with teas and tea accessories. I love having the opportunity to smell all the different teas, and this store has quite an extensive selection. They have fruit and herbal teas, green teas and black teas, super caffeinate options, and holiday/special event teas full of spices and special flavors. I was delighted with the jasmine tea and the almond tea, and also left with some tea mints and some yummy maple sugar candies. Prices are a little high for the quantity, but I know it's a markup based on the exclusivity and the area adding to the cost. The people working there were helpful but not very friendly, but I chalk that up to being super busy with a store packed with customers. I loved the teas I bought and definitely would return to buy more next time I'm in the area. read more

The shop is adorable and presents an opportunity for a unique souvenir. It has so many different teas, but also flavors that will remind you of Maine like blueberry and maple. It also has every piece of supplemental tea equipment you could ever need, including a beautifully colored display of tea pots and cups. read more

Such a cute shop in the heart of downtown! A huge selection of locally crafted teas, mugs, etc. there are boxes of loose tea and bagged tea in various sizes. I opted for a sampler of 4 types of teas for my visit. I've only had the New England Maple so far and it's delicious! read more

It's cute little shops like this that stop me in my tracks. Who needs another t-shirt shop in Bar Harbor? I got a small box of the Maine Wild Blueberry Black Tea. I didn't want to write a review until I've had a chance to seep a cup. I just called it quits after work and am now sipping this delicious blend. It's delicious! I taste the blueberries and I love fruity teas. This also came in green tea but I like a little more caffeine in my teas because I'm not a coffee drinker but still want the caffeine. I'm really enjoying this tea and now I'm wishing I had bought a larger supply. But they do ship so that's a possibility. read more

Great little shop with overly priced everything!! Example $27-47 touristy mug!!! Nothing spectacular about it. Steeping accessories and very few non of quality you will be very disappointed with each and every one if their options!! Go someplace else! I'm a avid tea drink and kinda snobby with my tea choices, I travel all over to visit tea shops and this one was the absolute most disappointing one. They don't even have anything brewed to offer you a sample off, lots of them are flavor oils and not only are the teas way of market prices compared to most other places for the weights but so are all the mediocre cheap type of assorted accessories. Staff to busy chatting with each other about their personal lives than to be bothered with busy store full of tourists. All conjugated behind counter. No speciality type offered either Wouldn't purchase or ever go back. read more

Great little tea place with lots of options! They even have a plastic sleeve you can fill with 4 of your favorites for a sale price! Cute mugs, kitchen accessories, and wonderful gifts for tea lovers. The Jasmine tea is heavenly, and the rose one smells divine. You'll definitely spend some browsing time in this store. It's packed with lots of inventory, and so much to see. Make a point to visit if you're in Bar Harbor! read more

There about a year ago. The store was fine, very pleasant atmosphere and the staff were very nice to us. Prices are pretty steep, though. Bah Hahbah is a pretty hoity toity place, and I'll bet the rent is through the roof. Unfortunately their own website doesn't allow ratings. I bought several teas (I was there, after all and figured they'd be nice things to remember our trip). The wild blueberry is AMAZING, IMHO. I'd love to order more but again prices pretty steep, as is shipping, and while an excellent tea, given all the other options out there, it just hasn't been worth it, to me. On the other hand, their Citrus Early Grey (they have a couple Earl Grey varieties) is seriously "meh." To me, it's not much more than a very standard, middling black tea. I taste NO bergamot at ALL. And I'm drinking a cup of it right now, so it's quite fresh in my mind (and tastebuds) as I write this. Nice shop, if you're ever in "Bah Hahbah" and you like tea, I definitely recommend stopping by, just be prepared for the price shock! read more

Great place that we visited during our recent vacation. I highly recommend them. Try it you'll like it

Bar Harbor Tea Company was more a shop than a cafe. Only their most popular teas are sold individually. They did have one tea available for sampling and a honey. That did it for my companion, as she probably wouldn't have bought that jar of raw honey if they hadn't let her have that taste. I was looking forward to trying either their blueberry iced tea or chocolate chai, both of which were not available by the cup that day, so I was a bit disappointed, and thus the 3 star rating. read more

Adorable tea shop! I am a tea lover and so I couldn't leave here without buying a few things. I bought two once ounce sizes of their Cape Cod cranberry loose tea and the Maine Blueberry. They both smell absolutely amazing. I also left with a sloth tea cup brewer and a few honey sticks! The lady that was working at the shop was a delight. The blackberry honey sticks are so good, I ate them like candy, so fresh tasting. I can't wait to try my tea and new brewer! I would have bought a lot more tea, but it is pricey, to be expected from a smaller local the shop though in a tourist spot and also they have high quality tea. Great shop! read more

Stumbled upon this shop while I was roaming through bar harbor. They've got a variety of nice teas but the ones you really want are the blueberry teas, since that's what Maine is known for! They also sell tea cups and other accessories needed to enhance your drinking experience. Unfortunately they ran out of the 1oz ($8) pack of the blueberry herbal tea I wanted. If this happens to you, go next door to the other souvenir stores and I guarantee they'll be selling the exact product of tea you want at maybe a lower price! read more

Very cute tea shop and friendly folks. I have my 4 lb chihuahua with me and was about to ask if they were ok with me brining him in. I didn't see the sign that said "Please leave pet outside" at first, so when I saw, I immediately turned around to go outside. The shop owners stopped me and said to go ahead and come in since I had my chihuahua bundled up in my arm. I can understand that some shop keepers cannot allow pets in their shop due to what they are selling (food/drinks etc) and/or simple preference thing. So I really appreciated that they allowed for me to bring my little dog inside. They had very interesting selections and beautiful tea sets. I was looking for a cup and tea pot in one type set and found it in their shop. We also saw 'tea bricks' which was very interesting. read more

I came to Bar Harbor on a cruise and walked into this cute little tea shop. It has a lot of selections and they have testers for you to smell the scent of the tea. I particularly liked the peach one but they don't make them with tea bags which is a bummer. I decided to buy a box of the Maine Wild Blueberry Black Tea. They do have Blueberry Green tea, but I think the black tea smells the best. When I came back, I tried the tea and it was really good. The tea is not strong and you can taste the subtle blueberry taste but not overpowering. The tea bag is this nylon type so it's sturdy and looks like quality tea bags. I'm pleasantly surprised at the quality of the tea and I would get more variety next time. read more

I felt like I should have been walking into my grandmother's parlor after walking into Bar Harbor Tea; however, despite the animal mugs, floral mugs and other kitschy gifts, they actually have top of the line tea products including filters for kettles and to-go mugs as well as steepers with fun key-chains on the end. They also have a variety of tea flavors available for purchase from travel size to jumbo size (and they all smell amazing). Definitely worth popping inside if you are walking around town (they even have tea for purchase if you need to warm up). read more

Loved this little tea shop on the row of shops to visit! Their range of themed mugs were beautiful, their kettles top of the line, and I even picked up a stainless steel shell-shaped tea steeper (try saying that 3 times fast) to bring home with me. Many samples to smell and mints galore, as well as tea pots of varying sizes and a wonderful ambiance to visit. Highly recommend! read more

My mom and I are HUGE tea fans. We stopped in this shop while wondering around Bar Harbor. They have tons of different types and flavors of tea packaged in really cute tins. I love the little magnetic tins filled with the tea above each variety that you can pull off the magnet, open, and smell. What a clever marketing tool. The store is very bright and inviting, and so was the girl working. My mom stocked up on a bunch of different teas for Christmas gifts, but I was too cheap, the tea is a little on the pricey side. read more

Great little tea shop. If you are looking for a good selection of teas in various price ranges, this is a great place to go. Their prices are designed for the high-end tourist on much of their wares. But, all in all, if you are there for a great selection of tea and a knowledgeable staff, this place will agree with you. read more

This is a little cute tea shop in Bar Harbor. They sell tons of teapots, tea cups, tea accessories, etc. and a good range of tea. (As a tea addict, it was a pretty small amount of tea.) The tea is prepackaged into set amounts and the packing is probably the nicest tea packaging I ever seen in my life (the tea packaging has changed from what the yelp photos are showing). Very tasty tea (Earl Grey Extra, Wild blueberry Green and Black Tea). I kind of had to take a star away for the guy who works at the store - he seems to be lacking knowledge for the tea in the store. When you ask him a question about individual tea, he can't really give you a straight reply. So, if you are not familiar with tea, he's no help. But, he is friendly! read more

We purchased the blueberry black tea and it was pretty delicious. However, each teabag was individually packaged in an absurdly large non-recyclable package. In 2021, I'd expect better for a town centered around a national park. Hoping to see more change when we return next year! The tea has a lot of promise. read more

Very nice tea shop. Very informative shop keeper. Try the Rooibos chai tea. You won't regret it. Also purchased the finum brewing basket for loose tea. Worth every penny. High quality tea. read more

Great shop with a vast selection of teas for every palate. The popular blueberry tea is sold in many sizes as loose and bagged tea so you can always find what suits your style. I loved how the shop set up samples to smell before buying. My only complaint would be that the prices were a bit steep. However for the location and quality, the prices were on par. Overall a great store!! read more

I stopped in this shop while wandering around bar harbor, I'm not a regular tea drinker but you could smell all the teas to see which one you thought you would like the most. The owner was super nice and helped me decide which one I would like the most and helped me pick out gifts for my family. I will definitely stop back in the next time I am up there! read more

This was a divine little shop. My husband and I stopped in and were greeted by wonderful staff members. They were very friendly and knowledgeable and the shop was warm and inviting. They offer a great selection of loose leaf tea varieties and tea ware. We sampled the iced blueberry tea and were blown away by the flavor. It was wonderful. We are not really tea enthusiasts per say but based on our visit to this shop we're considering it as our next hobby! read more

My wife and I have traveled all over the world and have been to many different tea stores. (not sure why it got 2 star reviews) This store ranks with the best we've seen. We found the staff there to be knowledgeable and courteous. They helped when needed but also let us look around the store and smell all the teas. One of the girls working there informed us that Bar Harbor Tea Company also Blends their teas right in Bar Harbor. It's a fun store to spend some time in. By the way the Earl Grey Citrus is now my favorite tea and I plan to buy more on their web site. read more

I really wanted to purchase something.....I LOVE tea and all it's accessories. Shouldn't have been difficult, right? Wrong. Wound up with a plunger handled tea ball. Really didn't want to leave empty handed...: ( read more

Adorable little tea shop with very friendly staff. I was very excited to see that they carried a decaf Earl Grey, since my mom can't drink caffeinated beverages but loves Earl Grey. They offer a few different sizes for each tea which are priced accordingly. A little pricey but it's certainly not Lipton so you get what you pay for. read more

Just another tourist attraction with some tea options but mostly things to buy for those that don't know the fine quality of teas that can be gotten elsewhere. Not a return visit option for me by any means but keep in mind I'm pretty harsh about tea quality so this may be more impressive for others. read more

Wonderful selection of loose leaf teas. And just beautiful none China tea cups and mugs, both Bar Harbor themed, and just beautiful ones.

After a day of hiking and exploring in Arcadia NP, we came back into Bar Harbor to wander around. We came upon the Bar Harbor Tea Company in a quest for cups of tea on the chilly evening. We not only got our cups of tea (so delicious!) but some delightful items to take back to California as gifts, and friendly conversation with the owner. Thank you, Bar Harbor Tea! read more

A beautiful shop that emphasizes regional items, but still carries a sophisticated variety of teas and teaware. I bought a sample of the maple black tea while on vacation. Even though I never drink flavored teas, the smell was just too amazing to pass up. I just placed an order on their website, because it was delicious and tasted perfectly natural. A little expensive, but the quality is there. read more

This is not a tea room and too bad that they don't serve tea to drink. However they have a nice selection of teas and many flavors that were quite unusual. Ever try Chocolate tea? How about Chocolate Chai? We ended up buying more tea than usual because the flavors were very nice and worth trying. It is a little pricey and costs more than I am used to paying in Seattle. But since we were travelling we really appreciated the reasonable charge for shipping so we did not have to carry anything back. read more

This is a lovely little tea shop that hides a vast array of tea in its small confines. They sell loose leaf and bagged tea, teapots and tea sets, all very prettily packaged, perfect for gifts. Make sure to try their chocolate chai, the scent alone is beyond amazing! read more

If nothing else, go in just for the good scents of the different kinds of tea. Cute packaging and little odds and ends for tea.

I'm a tea fanatic, so I was so happy to discover this place. They have jars of the loose tea so you can smell it to see if you'd probably like it. The Sweet Almond smelled so heavenly that I had to get it. It was tasty as well. I also bought a tea cozy. The tea pots they sell are expensive, but I didn't need a new one anyway. They have a great selection of teas, including fruit teas. read more

This is such a fun store for tea lovers. They have a wide selection of teas as well as mugs, teapots etc. with neat designs. I had such a blast in this store. Staff was friendly. I'll visit again when in the area. Only complaint? Prices were a little steep but what do you expect? It is Bar Harbor! read more

Horribly rude. Overpriced tea not even good. Not sure what else to say it's a crap hole avoid it unless you want to get scowled at and overpay for low quality crap. They clearly rely on tourists that won't come back again. read more

I really appreciate a good cup of tea, but I'm not a tea snob, so while I can't speak for the quality or sourcing of the tea leaves, I think it's a great little shop for tea-lovers. I bought 3 teas here - Citrus Earl Grey, Chai and a small tin of Christmas Tea. I have only tried the Earl Grey so far, but it was really pleasing and I have never come across a citrus variety of this tea in all my tea shopping. It is a natural pairing. My two other teas smelled delicious. They do have some unique teas here and it makes a good cup of tea. 4-stars given because it was a little pricey. But only just so . . . read more
