    Large assortment of teas and they are also online and shop. Picked up some lively English Breakfast If you like tea, and you are heading toward Jenner or near Monte Ri, do yourself a favor and stop at Duncan Mills and visit the tea shop

    I had a friend send me some tea from here in a little tea exchange and I was thrilled! After growing up in this area, I was shocked I had never stopped off in Duncans Mills to get tea here. After some careful planning, hubby and I made the drive out on a gorgeous weekend afternoon. As others have said, the person staffing behind the counter was firm about masks and hand sanitizer, as well as requesting we not touch anything unless we were going to buy it. Ok, that's fine with me..."look with your eyes" my mom always used to say. We were there for tea, but notices a ton of other great stuff including balking mixes, awesome items for gifts, and of course, all the tea adjacent items you could ever want. There were some rude people visiting the shop the same time we were there, and they were demanding and bossy to the shop attendant. It was our decision to wait till that party was done and out before we approached with questions about the teas. After looking at all the options, we chose one green tea, one black tea, and one rooibos tea. All the teas were delicious sounding, and I definitely missed the multisensory experience of tea shopping in the past where you could smell each item. The prices were good and the selection was massive. Everything we bought was delicious and we absolutely will be back!

    They sell everything tea! Before stepping further inside the shop we were told to sanitize our hands and it doesn't matter if you've sanitized your hands 20+ times from visiting the other stores you need to oblige. And we did without question. You must wear your mask the correct way making sure the mask is covering your nose and mouth and that it stays this way the entire time you are inside the shop. You are now free to move about the store and begin shopping... Upon entrance your first visual are the colorful decorated or solid color teapots, infuser teapots, porcelain and bone China teapots. They sell mugs and tea wares including mesh balls and tea rests. Along the wall are cute miniature picnic basket tea sets with different designs and themes. The shop offers over a hundred loose leaf teas (black tea, fruit tea, oolong, green, herbal, organic... you name it they probably have it). They also sell spices here from BBQ rubs to Cajun seasonings to Chipotle salts... great selection! These were located towards the back section of the store. The shop, like the other stores in this historic shopping town, is not very big and may be difficult to social distance if there are a lot of visitors inside. The seller was busy with other customers, I didn't interact much with her other than being told to sanitize our hands before entering. We found them in the historic Russian River town of Duncans Mills. I enjoyed looking around but if you are not able to make it to their shop you can go on their website and shop online. They ship every business day. Where in the hills is Duncans Mills? It is located on Highway 116 in Sonoma County, 4 miles inland from the coast. Review #2171

    I love the variety of tea here! Too bad I couldn't smell the teas so I can have a sense of how it would taste due to covid. They offer tea sets and other nice items for a good tea setting. Duncan Mills has a cozy community going on!

    Lovely shop with plenty of tea blends, you'll never be bored. Our visit today was particularly pleasant thanks to the gentleman who was working, he made our day! I also noticed that as the shop got busier, he kept working on our "order" but made a point to greet every guest, which I really admire. I would recommend this shop to anyone, but especially those skeptics who "don't like tea", something for everyone. Our all time favorite is the root beer float, we use it as a "dessert" after a heavy meal.

    What a find! Camping at Casini Ranch we golf carted over to this quaint little town of Duncan Mills. Having 4 littles with us we didn't get to explore as much as we wanted but did make it into this tea shop. Amazing teas line the walls all with samples to smell. Ended up with the Pumpkin Cream, and being an avid tea drinker, I have no words! It's so smooth and has such a delicious flavor I'm hoping I can purchase more online!!!!! If we are ever in the area again, we will be back!!!!!!

    Revisited here 2 August '20. Yes, you are asked via a sign just inside the door to sanitise your hands and wear gloves. COVID-19 kills so abide and carry on. There appears to be an even wider selection of black loose leaf teas here than the last time I was here(over a year ago). Shop keeper was very nice and polite and filled my order promptly and correctly. I got my usual Scottish Highlands, Irish Breakfast, and Earl Grey. But they have some new flower and fruit infused black tea. Can't way to try. If you fancy loose leaf tea, this is the place. Located in Western Sonoma County between Guerneville and Jenner by the Sea. 100% Primo!

    We found this hidden treasure as we were wandering around Duncan's Mills. Lots of great gift ideas for the tea lovers in your life. The prices were reasonable and the owner was very friendly. I purchased some Rose Vanilla tea that I can hardly wait to try

    Visiting the shop is an experience on its own, but the quality and wide selection of teas makes it worth the drive.

Enjoyed my hot vanilla latte in a coffee mug which are all different designs. I had the barekas. The babka roll was not very fresh so that was my only negative. I'll definitely go back.

You will find that amazing vibe in this area and Lightwave Coffee exemplifies a movement that was so much about optimism and love. Interior and exterior are amazing with much of the decoration being made from found objects. I loved all the old electronic and mechanical devices inside and loved the mishmash cups and plates that made it feel like you were eating in a friends kitchen. The food and coffee we got were abnormally high quality and we recommend the cookies and the basil ice lemonade. So good after a long day outdoors. Right next to it is a community farm that felt so welcoming and chill. Volunteers were weeding and cleaning on the weekend and it reminded me the very best of the game Stardew Valley. Right next to it is a concrete skatepark and a guy was shredding it when we went. So worth a stop for all these bonus quests! They also had a "pay what you want" little section of potted plants you can take away such as chilis, tomatoes, etc...

I appreciate that it's a local business that supports other local businesses, family owned and operated, and is a beloved part of the community. The barista knows the orders for the regulars and seemed to know when someone wanted a chat versus needed caffeine and not up for talking. My oat milk mocha latte is always delicious and finished too quickly. There is a variety of rotating baked goods and a few easy breakfast options (like yogurt parfaits, frittata slices, and breakfast burritos) that have always been delicious. The homemade pastries are seriously amazing. Today, my scone (gluten free pear, ginger, and cardamom) was so yummy I got a second one to go (there isn't always a gf option for pastries available so especially enjoyed this one). Someone said their almond croissants were the best they had ever had. And they've had croissants all over. The coffeehouse is super cute, with nice indoor and outdoor seating options. The parking lot is easy to navigate. They also have my absolute favorite pronoun sign. One of the few places I'll always recommend and always stop in.

It opens very early, which customers dedicated to their caffeine, like myself, will appreciate. My Mexican mocha with oat milk, cinnamon and mild spice was well made, and hit the spot.
