“ 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. ”

“ Light of Day Tea Farm was straight out of a storybook! 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. ”

“ Light of Day has the best loose leaf tea I have ever tasted. And I absolutely adored their tea room and gardens. The staff is very knowledgeable, kind, and helpful. 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. ”

“ Beautiful, wonderful, little shop. This is a very peaceful and serene location. The tea absolutely extravagant and the prices are extremely reasonable. A cup of this tea in a commercial place would run you between $6and $13. It is about 0.62 a cup if you buy it in the bulk. Staff is very knowledgeable and quite welcoming. T is delicious. Lattes are delicious. Well worth a trip if you were within 45 minutes. ”

“ I took the Tea 101 class with my mom and daughter. We had such a great time learning about and tasting the different tea preparations. Angela was so welcoming. 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. ”
