Monthly Tea Talk & Tasting: The Perfect Steep
Date: January 30, 2020

Did you know that green teas have a smoother, balanced flavor when steeped at lower temperatures and times? Did you know that steeping 30 seconds longer can dramatically change the flavor of your tea? Some botanical blends diffuse very little flavor until steeped for 5-10 minutes. Find out more about the perfect steep at this interactive tasting!

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.

What a wonderful shop! I've been in with my whole family a few times and it's just such a treat smelling teas, and learning new things. The lady behind the counter was extremely helpful for us newbies and she is so knowledgeable.
During our last visit we tried the tea service and spent some time just enjoying cups of tea. The whole experience was a pleasure.
100% this is the best place to get tea in Missoula, and if you don't know anything about tea it's even better!

Amazing variety great prices and they'll brew top shelf teas you may be reluctant to buy before trying for a dollar more. Great selection for Missoula. Friendly knowledgeable staff and beautiful tea sets and accessories

We are major tea snobs and I was absolutely delighted by this store. There are the usual suspects as well as shelves of unique, hand-picked teas. Highly recommend the Golden Snail :) It was really special being able to try whatever tea I wanted before buying. I'm looking forward to subscribing to their tea club. I would love to come back: everything was delicious.
