Wendigo Tea Co. — Restaurant in Cincinnati

Wendigo is amazing tea. 5 years ago I wanted to switch from coffee to tea and hated the idea of using 3-4 tea bags a day. I bought couple disappointing oolongs from another tea provider, some puer from an asian market, but it wasn’t until I found Sky at the farmers market that the door was finally opened.

Sky is wonderfully friendly and generous and has lined up truly delicious teas for his products.

The skunk ape aged oolong was the first tea I tasted where I understood that there was much more to tea than what I was finding commercially in Cincinnati. I’m drinking some right now. After years of sourcing tea from all over China and deeply diving into all the styles, skunk ape is still my favorite tea I’ve ever had.

The jasmine is the best jasmine I’ve come across so far.

The jackalope antlers are crazy. They’re from Malawi, where some ex-British colonial tea estates are exploring more Chinese styled production. This white tea made from small twig buds tastes incredible and there’s nothing like it in China, so it’s cool that’s...

The short review: The vibe and aesthetic are exactly what one would both desire and expect. The tea is exceptional and their owner Sky is genuine, approachable, skilled, and happy to share his knowledge.

The LONG version: This is the type of business you feel good supporting because they are good people committed to making their community a better, cooler place.

Although you can’t make a poor decision, I recommend: Nessy Green Tea (Jasmine and Floral) , Skunk Ape Oolong (Funky in all the right ways), or their Siren Herbal Blend.

I’ve been a coffee guy for a decade . . . Overnight, I was transformed to appreciate what EXCEPTIONAL tea tastes like. This is the start of...

First off, the staff here is amazing and the vibe is just as nice, I was given GREAT tea advice and recommendations! They took the time out to answer my dumb Tea questions and educated me about why Coffee feels different than Matcha... they even laughed at my corny Boomer-Dad jokes. THEN I was made a special tea that they dont have on the menu yet... anyone reading this, if the woman with the curly hair named Jules is in there, ask her to make you "The Family Juelz" .. its refreshing...
