Sarah was so nice to speak with while she was hand making our teas! We tried the purple haze and the summertime. Both crisp and light! Perfect for a walk over to Peaks Island. Adding this to our revisit place when we come back to Maine! ❤️

I visited Homegrown Herb and Tea for the first time this Saturday and had a lovely experience! I purchased both the Wake Up blend and the Teacher’s Pet blend. I would definitely recommend both. I can’t wait to try more!

The coziest of tea shops! Has a lot of character in the best way possible. Great caffeine free options!

Such a lovely place! The tea blends are really unique, thoughtful, and delicious. I will definitely come back and recommend to my friends.

I’ve been several times and I must say I so love this place, very nice ambiance and boy the owner knows her teas.She has a tea for every ailment it seems.It’s become a must stop whenever I’m in portland.

This shop was great, they have a beautiful, large selection perfect for a people who are just starting to appreciate tea or experienced sippers as well.

Beautiful space, the tea is divine & the owner knowledgeable with the purposes and benefits. I highly recommend stopping in ... on a regular basis !

Great tea in a beautiful and friendly environment. The owner is excellent at making just the right tea for you. Highly recommend checking it out.

One of the sweetest, most genuine spots in Portland. Run by an absolutely charming lady. Huge selections, extremely knowledgeable. Menu of tonics and teas printed on linen. Handmade goods from local artists, very cozy atmosphere and some bar and table seating. I often miss them due to their hours but knowing it’s run with such limited staff it’s worth working around for the quality. 🖤 truly a gem.

Magical, yes magical! Sarahs shared knowledge, the positive energy space and the customized tea brew = stellar. My tummy was much happier leaving than when arriving.

Sarah is a modern day medicine woman who makes delicious, and medicinal herb teas. She also has a fabulous line of skin care products. I love visiting Homegrown Herb and Tea for great conversation, vibe, and nurturing tea! I always learn from Sarah!

This tea shop is magical and I love coming here when I am in Portland. If you can stay for a cup I recommend sitting in the window. Sarah is very knowledgeable and can give you a recommendation or blend something special for you depending on what you need. I have ordered online as well and it was very easy and quick. This place is so unique!

Literally the best tea place I’ve ever been! If you come to Portland and only do one thing... come here and enjoy the great atmosphere, pleasant conversation, and wonderful tea blends!

Have been a an of tea and tea establishments for many years. Most of my purchases are made online. Was looking for someplace in the local Portland Maine area. Found the web site for Homegrown and desired to check it out. Getting around and parking in Portland can be a test of patience but I found the shop in a few small store on lower Congress street, even found a parking spot. Many of the specialty stores are Modern and glitzy. Homegrown is the kind of store your grandmother would frequent. The interior isnt designed by a plan-a-gram, it more like an old time shop showcasing personal taste and knowledge.The owner, who’s name is Sarah, pleasantly greats each customer and is a wealth of information about the teas that she blends right in front of you. No pre*packed, who knows how long it’s been on the shelve product. I choose a Lapsang and my wife had a Earl Gray.The teas were lovely as was our conversation.Sarah uses her vast knowledge of herbs and fruits to make very tasty tea offerings. The shop also carries a nice collection of other tea items along with spices and honeys.Although it maybe a slight journey to find Homegrown teas it is well worth the investment. The reward in both time and enjoyment make this a place to return to.

This place is an absolute gem. As soon as you walk in youre greeted by the incredible scents of fresh licorice and herbs, immediately easing your anxiety and the stress of the outside world. The owner Sarah is so great and unbelievably knowledgeable. You cant visit this shop without learning something new and leaving with a handful of incredibly aromatic teas. She has such a huge selection of herbs and blends her own tea right in front of you - made to order! Shes so upbeat, helpful and accommodating. I urge everyone who finds themselves in the lower Munjoy Hill neighborhood to stop by and check it out - say hi to Sarah! Sadly, there just arent places like this anymore; when we find hidden gems like this in our city, we need to support them any way we can! Spread the word!

The place is awful, but good teas..., the folks that run the place are annoying. Yes, drinking tea should be a relaxed experience but not here. I prefer a place that has an atmosphere.... but not here. I also did not find it very clean.

Sarahs tea shop stop in say hi to a local and enjoy a hot cup of tea and a snack. :)

This place is the epitome of a hidden gem. It’s about as far away from a Starbucks as you can get. Huge range of herbal tea blends that Sarah will hand blend to order. I’ve since ordered a bunch of blends online since I don’t live locally and each one is fabulous. Also, plastic free packaging!

Welcoming and relaxing atmisphere. Sarah is a wealth of knowledge and has a passion for what she does. A new Portland favorite.

Worth the effort. The store hours can be a bit hard to keep track of, but the tea is amazing and very much worth planning a trip just to pick it up. The new ability to place online orders helps with that as well.

Sarah is wonderful and so are her teas and tisanes. The selection of components and apocathery quality locally crafted products are carefully curated and very reasonably priced. Since shes an independent sole proprietor (and frankly a role model as a self made business woman) I have no idea why the one negative reviewer mentioned multiple persons...perhaps he was lost and in a different shop? I encourage you to listen to the rest of us very satisfied customers and enjoy: whether you find yourself stocking up on self care supplies, or just need a moment to pause and realign, this is a great opportunity to do. Ayuravedic, yet approachable. And, theres a guitar and seating for guest use!

Every time we visit Portland we stop in for the latest and greatest creation!

Soon will be selling #dafnigreekgourmet @dafnigreekgourmet

Greatest spot in town. Amazing woman.

Wonderful selection!
