Tea Podcasts

Podcasts at Lake Missoula Tea Company

We hope you find these tea podcasts and videos interesting and enriching.

We partner with The Trail 103.3, a local Missoula radio station, monthly to talk tea and taste new blends.  We shared enough tea and stories that we thought it was a good idea to capture all of this knowledge about tea.  Our podcasts are a result of these monthly tea tastings with “The Trail”. In addition, we’re lucky to work with MCAT, or Missoula Community Access Television, to video out tea tastings.

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! ”

- Lena H.

“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. ”
