Herbs Make Scents Tea Shop

What a lovely experience. The owner made sure we found everything we needed and gave us directions on making iced teas at home. The lavender lemonade and the cinnamon scone were delicious. I love that so many products are locally sourced, like the honey, maple syrup and candles. We’ll be back for sure!

I haven't been into the shop but my Grandmother has and she loved it! She bought me a bag of the soothe and Sleep tea and it's been the best thing to ever happen to me. My 5 star rating is not only for the tea though. I went online to purchase more as I live too far to go to the shop myself. I placed a bulk order and soon recieved an email from the owner that she only had part of my order available and the rest was on back order. She ever so kindly shipped what she had to me with a handwritten note that the rest will be on its way soon. I cannot rave enough about the kindness and level of communication she had. The tea is amazing and so are the people!

Did a tea blending class here once and it was so much fun!! The shop is wicked cute and cozy and the owner is so sweet and helpful. Also, the tea is DELICIOUS. I love coming here

My husband and I participated in the “Make Your Own Tea Blend” class, where Terri talked and guided us through the process of making our own tea blend to take home with us. She is a humble and gracious host and teacher, who shared her knowledge and experience for/of teas and the process, openly. For example, tea qualities, ways to blend teas, water steeping temperatures, etc.

She had several examples of tea blends to compliment each other, and a recipe card for us to remember the teas that we sampled that we may use in our blend.

There were several base teas she prepared for us to taste, and teas that we could use to build on the base. It was such a playful time for the senses as we smelled and sipping on different teas, took in the uniqueness of the tea shapes and colors. We came to our own tea blend, and even created a name for the blends. It was fun seeing what blends others were putting together. It was a class of 8 people, and the blends were so different, so we left with some ideas for future blends. Not to mention, that we learned about smoked tea for the first time, so we will be giving this a try.

The store has lovely decor and cozy feel to it with a table and chairs to sit and drink tea and eat pastry and chocolates. There are various types of tea blends that Terri has created, tea pots and tea infusers, local honey, local jams, local soaps and local truffles.

I love thus place and go there frequently! The tea selection is divine and added to often, the coffee is smooth and delicious. I'm a huge fan of the new lavender lemonade personally. All the food is light and delicious, and there are plenty vegan and gluten free selections as well! The space is warm and cozy, and the staff is friendly and welcoming. A beautiful addition to Whitinsville!

I only discovered what a good tea is after having my first sip of HMS tea. Terri hand blends all the exquisite herbal teas that I'm in love with... so much so that now I am using it in my cooking, baking and chocolate making experiences. I LOVE HMS chai, lemon ginger, L.o.v.e, lavender lemonade, pretty much everything they blend. Everything I tried was perfectly balanced. Keep in mind that I used to be an avid coffee drinker and have replaced my afternoon coffee with HMS. The shop is also charming and inviting. They also have lovely gift sets. This shop is a gem!

I stopped in today to pick up scones I had ordered. I couldn't get there on Thursday when she had a special of buy 3 scones get one free. I let her know I wasn't going to be able come in and she wrapped them and froze them and still gave me the special pricing today(Saturday). I got a peach iced tea after trying a sample. Peach iced tea is not my thing. It is now...from HMS. It was great! It was black iced tea with real peaches in it!!! Also, I got a sandwich special. It was black forest ham, Gouda cheese, bourbon mustard on a pretzel roll. It was delicious. I especially liked the mustard. It came veggie straws too. I love going there. I got hibiscus lemonade in a bottle to have for later. I don't know her name, but she is so kind and just great to chat with. If you haven't been there, you definitely need to stop by!!!!😁♥

I received a wonderful gift box with candle, teas, biscuits and jams...just amazing.....Best gift ever!!! each item was so special I set it all up with the candle lit for a very stressfree event. Your HMS Box is used when I need a little love!! Thank you

Excellent tea shop. Staff extremely helpful. Made an amazing milk tea drink from the Earl Grey w/ dandelion root that the shopkeep custom made for us on the spot.

I want everyone to know we have a tea shop on mendon. Also I had there Scones, they are delicious. The shop has all your needs to make hot or cold tea. The tea is blended tea's that the shop makes in house. And of course many gift ideas.
The truffles are amazing !!

We found this tea shop while traveling parts of the East coast recently. It was such a wonderful experience! The tea was delicious (we tried a few!) and the people were delightful! We so enjoyed hearing about the teas we were about to drink. Did I mention the mini scones that melt in your mouth? Our favorite scones to date! We also enjoyed a cold beverage on the way out the door - the lavender lemonade is fantastic! We hope our travels will bring us this way again!

This place is amazing. They have a large assortment of teas I’ve never heard of. I got the lucky dragon which is now my favorite green tea. The owner is also so sweet and a delight to talk to. 10/10 go to for all your tea needs!

My daughter and I heard about this place today and took a trip to check it out. It is a charming, warm and welcoming little tea shop and cafe. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable and accomodating, and the atmosphere is relaxing. We had their chai tea, but there are many creative tea offerings, as well as scones and bagels. We enjoyed both, which were fresh and delicious. There are teapots, mugs, and even herb blended soaps available for purchase as well. It was a very enjoyable afternoon, and I highly recommend spending a morning or afternoon here. It's a new favorite spot for us!!!

Such a cute shop with so many things to offer! I went there for the first time today and I will for sure be going back! And not just for the tea; there were so many other amazing products I need to try! Nor to mention the ladies there are so sweet and helpful, they were the best!

Quite a lovely atmosphere. Employees are extremely kind, the owner is a great person to talk to and her dedication to the business is something to be admired. The food is amazing, especially a chicken salad sandwich, I normally dont eat something like that but wow its the best one I've had. The coffee, I'm not exaggerating when I'm saying it's the best coffee (iced or warm) I've ever had. As an avid coffee addict, I can safely say that it beats any other cup of coffee I've had. It's sweet, not really bitter. It doesn't jolt you awake and gives you the jitters, it rather is smooth and its a nice refreshing wake up drink. All this combined together makes a cafe that feels like home and a pleasure to hangout and enjoy the atmosphere while enjoying a fine cup of coffee.

Went there for lunch with an out of towner on a rainy Saturday and it may have well been a gorgeous summer day. Sat under the umbrella’d table. Service was superb. Made recommendations, allowed us to sample the lemonade, and was just very welcoming overall. It was such a perfect visit with my friend. Can’t wait to go back for sandwiches and the delicious Lavender Lemonade!

The owner is wonderful and knowledgeable about the products. The chicken salad sandwich with cranberry is delicious. The lavender lemonade is my favourite drink.

Unbelievable hidden gem! Endless choice of teas, coffees, sweets, terrific soups, beautiful fresh salads and sandwiches. Some great gifts, too., Friendly,
cozy atmosphere. A massage for your senses!

Love the place. Food is excellent with small light sandwiches and small desserts. Teas are great too. She has some lovely handmade soaps and aroma therapy tincture.

It was an enjoyable experience...the variety of teas and blends were great. The service was excellent and the explanations of the variety of teas was very informative. I highly recommend stopping in you won’t be disappointed.
