I came here expecting a clean, natural option and instead ended up with something that's as processed and sugary as a cheap convenience store latte. I was initially excited to try this place because of its wide variety of teas and ceremonial matcha. The menu seemed promising for someone like me, looking for a healthier drink option. However, I was really disappointed to find out they use coffee creamer instead of real milk or non-dairy alternatives in their matcha. It felt quite misleading for a place marketing itself as healing. Creamer is loaded with additives and sugars, which completely defeats the purpose of choosing matcha as a healthy drink. If you're expecting a natural, clean experience, this place might not be the best fit. I'd suggest offering real milk or plant-based options for customers who prefer to keep their...
Read moreThe smell, the ambiance, the energy, and the products make this shop a peaceful place to stop. The owner is extremely knowledgeable in teas, and able to recommend blends based on your requests.

Read moreI love seeing Artemis Tea for sale at various retailers across Omaha but a trip to their storefront in Blackstone is worth your while.
First of all, it’s BEAUTIFUL inside. The calm, deep paint color and live plants set off a whole vibe. There’s a few full shelves of retail products, too.

Give yourself a few extra minutes for your beverage to be prepared fresh in front of you. This is not a pour-and-go-tea-might-have-been-sitting-for-hours place. Tea is steeped fresh by a friendly, knowledgeable member of staff. Hot or iced. Decaf options. Plant based milk options. My favorite is the Manipura chai.
