About

Welcome to the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides, where you will discover a hidden gem that transcends the ordinary—the Hebridean Tea Store. This small family business is full of warmth and charm, which you will notice immediately upon entry. It is a haven for tea lovers and seekers of unique delights.

With over 150 different teas, the Hebridean Tea Store, as the sole speciality tea store in the North and West of Scotland, is a testament to passion and dedication, a sanctuary for those who crave the extraordinary.

Nestled in the heart of Stornoway, the capital of the Outer Hebrides, and conveniently adjacent to the tourist information centre, the Hebridean Tea Store invites you on a sensory journey where every cup tells a story, and each brew is a moment of pure bliss. The alluring scent of freshly brewed teas and the promise of a transformative experience await as soon as you enter this quirky little shop.

Explore the art of tea-making with an array of essential accessories meticulously curated to make a decent cup of tea. From delicate infusers to exquisite teapots, each item shows the store's commitment, ensuring that every sip is a symphony of flavour and pleasure.

But the allure of the Hebridean Tea Store extends beyond just teas and tableware; it is a treasure trove that needs to be discovered. As you navigate the store, you'll be captivated by the vibrant colours and intricate designs of "Kingsizefairy & Pixie" yarn creations, adding a touch of whimsy and wonder to your shopping experience. These handcrafted treasures, from cosy knitted scarves to extravagant crocheted shawls and wraps, are perfect for any occasion and embody the store's spirit of creativity and artistry.
