We sell loose leaf tea and teaware in our shop at 136 E. Broadway in Missoula, Montana and online. We carry over 100 varieties of true tea and botanical (herbal) blends.

We wholesale to retailers, coffee shops, cafes, restaurants, kombucha brewers, zoos, and more! LMTC’s tea stands out for its bold flavor and artisanal sources. Learn more about how you can serve or sell LMTC tea.

Tea Tastings

Tea tastings are a great way to bring a group of people together. This can be a team building exercise, an active learning experience, or just for fun! We require the following:

  • participants pre sign up with the host.
  • host works with us to select the teas to taste.
  • each participant will walk away with a box of 4-6 teas and a steeper (along with a sample, sticker, and information about our teas). Participant tea boxes prices depend on the teas selected by the host.
  • tastings are an hour long and the fee is $150 + the participant tea boxes. We charge one total.
  • tastings are in person or digital (Zoom). Extra fees may apply if in person and out of the Missoula area.

What our customers have to say:

“LTMC is 1 of 5 of my favorite tea places ever visited. It’s adorable, good background music, friendly, knowledgeable staff & has a great selection of loose leaf teas. They have both a loose leaf & drink service & the Matcha Palmer on a hot day was just the thing. Highly recommend this place! ”

- Carrie M.

“I've been to a number of tea shops and this place has been consistently wonderful over the years. So much selection, good people... I hope they expand sometime soon. Seems a tad cramped, but not too cramped you can't enjoy a nice tea at the outdoor seating! ”

“Beautiful atmosphere. I spent every Friday night here w friends for an entire year while in college. The tea is delightful & I've never tried one I didn't like. Locally made scones & cookies are perfect for dipping into tea. Local art almost always adorns the walls. This place feels like Missoula. I always feel at home when I'm here. ”

I had a friend share some of their instant golden latte mix with me and it is amazing. I suffer from really bad inflammation in my hands and this calms it down so well. It is also very delicious so I just had to get some of my own. They also sent me some stickers, a nice note and a sample. It was so sweet. My cat definitely approves. Thank you!

Best store in Montana possibly in all of the United States. I don't know. This is the first Gong Fu tea shop I've ever been to. I came in for a matcha whisk because I donated mine to a museum. Before I left a random customer who was introduced to me as a regular bought me tea. I hugged him which isn't something I normally do. But I was incredibly thankful. Then the man behind the counter gave me a free sample. I went in looking for a simple tool and left with tea and a happy spirit. I am looking forward to making it back as soon as possible! I loved it. I think it will always hold a special place in my blood pumping organ.

I've been going to Lake Missoula Tea Company for years, and recently have had the privilege of putting some of their tea in my store. The quality of the tea is fantastic, and the blends are delightful. I have also attended one of their tasting / learning events and it was great. I highly recommend their downtown store for meeting with friends, family or even just for a nice place to go and have a cup of perfectly brewed tea.
