Red Bud Coffee & Tea — Restaurant in Shipshewana

We arrived in Shipshewana, Indiana purely to visit this tea shop. Before arriving we visited their website to confirm they would be open. When we arrived (driving three hours each way) they had a ripped piece of paper on the door stating they would only be open on Friday and Saturday this week. We stopped in at another store in the little mall it is in and apparently that is what they have been leaving up for months. This was March of 2023 and according to others in the mall they do this all the time. If it was a family emergency it would be understandable. It has been recommended to them multiple times to change their website hours and they refused. We called to explain that we had gone way out of our way and the most they were willing to do was give us a few samples and free shipping. When the teas we had ordered arrived (we ordered 4 4 ounce bags in addition to the samples) two of the four ounce bags (which were the exact same tea) were literally an ounce different in weight. It was so off that when you picked up the two bags you could tell. They were contacted again and we offered pictures of the weights and they said even though they sell their teas in ounces they just use a scoop to measure so too bad.

If you enjoy tea, don't miss this shop! One of the best tea shops I've ever visited, maybe the best. Definitely has the largest selection of teas I've ever seen in one place! Has every kind of tea you can think of: black, green, white, fruit, caffinated, non-caffinated, medicinal, & the list goes on. We visited 2 different days so we could try another tea. Ann, the owner, is very helpful, talented, & was able to answer questions & educate us on various factors about tea. I especially like her artwork. She buys white china & designs & paints them herself: saucers, tea cups, mugs, teapots, serving pieces...Her Fiber Balls (w/out coconut) & the pumpkin spice Whoopie pie are delish!! We planned a 3rd visit on Sat. but I wasn't feeling well & we didn't make it. I was planning to buy a hand rolled pretzel that her husband makes daily & so disappointed I didn't get 1....
