Our favorite teas were the matcha, white tea, and creamy earl grey. We will definitely be back for a visit next time we are in the Traverse City area."

May 22, 2026"So impressed with this tea and the ordering experience! While home for the holidays I tried the creamy earl grey at Cuppa Joe in the TC commons, it was the best tea I’ve ever had. The next day I went to Cuppa Joe on front street for another and to ask where they get their tea from, they were very helpful and told me all about Light of Day. Once back home I ordered a container from Light of Day. My order arrived two days later in a beautiful container, with wonderful tea, and a very nice thank you from the company. On my next trip home I look forward to visiting their location. Best tea ever!"

I could have stayed for hours smelling teas on the sniff bar. You may be off put by the prices, but please remember you are paying for quality here. And boy is this quality tea! Even on a foggy, drizzly day this place seemed magical."

Apr 20, 2026"Absolute heaven! It was such a peaceful place to visit, inside and outside. They have a huge variety of teas. We got to sample a creamy earl grey, hummingbird, and a chai latte, all amazing! The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable, educating us on all the teas, how they were made, and the tastes and benefits of each. After tasting a few teas, we enjoyed walking around the peaceful, quiet meditation gardens. They were full of beautiful flowers all planted for pollinators. I love that. This is the only organic biodynamic tea Farm in the country. Making delicious tea and helping the environment at the same time."

The owners, Angela and Michael, were fantastic, they took time to inform the customers of the process, their mission, and answer any questions that they had. I felt very welcomed in this shop. You can try any of their tea for just $4 for a 16oz cup, which is a good idea before you invest in any of their teas. They also have open grounds which provides a nice walk through nature, and a beautiful garden with seating where we sat for a few minutes, sipped our tea, and listened to the birds. It was a great place, and I would recommend it to anyone in the Traverse City area."
