Thanks, Johanna! You were such a great help and the tea was amazing 😊 we hope to be back soon
Im 29 and have been going to Global Infusion since i was a teenager, I love this store from teas to handmade goods, and gifts. I feel like my money is being spent in a positive space here 💚
Very cute items. Im not a tea drinker which they specialize in bur many great items other than tea. Sustainable items
I absolutely love coming here. They have great quality products and excellent customer service. They support local businesses and fair trade products. Also, if youre a Chai Tea lover you HAVE to try their house blend Chai. Its absolutely delicious whether you order it Hot or Iced.
Global Infusion is a lovely little shop that embodies Eastown - its eclectic, well traveled, and diverse. They have a wide variety of goods offered including spices, loose leaf tea, coffee (both beans and ready to order beverages), jewelry, candles, and many other globally centric gifts and goodies. The spices alone are worth the trip - Im an avid cook and they offer the freshest and widest variety of spices in the area. The staff is always cajoling and helpful, to boot. A true gem in Grand Rapids!
I absolutely love this place. Not only are their drinks phenomenal, but the staff is always so kind and helpful! Normally I see Julia when I’m there and she’s a ray of sunshine. The chai... is one of the best things ever. And their seasonal tea drinks are great.
Theres so much to love here! I had forgotten just how many herbs and spices they have to offer in bulk! You can email your order ahead of time to pick up. They make the BEST chia tea ever and have a full tea and coffee bar, plus bulk tea to go. Warm and wonderful staff, always!
Very helpful !She was a mind readerWhen it came to teas. Sooo many great choices.
This place is the best! Everyone who works there cares about what they do and they take the time to make you feel welcome and heard. Incredible tea selection and just a fun neighborhood place to stop in if you need a boost on a grey Michigan day.
Excellent customer service. I was relaxed and shopped without care, enjoying the scents and positive vibes while enjoying my fabulous Peppermint Mocha Latte. The house made syrup was perfect. I love SUPPORTING LOCAL! Will be returning more often.
Perfect place to get gifts from all over the world, also THE local spot for loose leaf tea. Get a coffee or chai at the cafe while you shop!
Went in there looking for a birthday gift. I was greeted with pleasentries☺️ their House Chi is amazing and they were eager to help. Thanks again Ladies, I highly recommend stopping in there if for no other reason just for smells😁🥰
Love these people! And the chai...so delicious. Seriously tho, everyone is super nice and the place has a great, chill vibe. They have a wall full of bulk herbs, spices and loose leaf teas, and lots of fair trade items! Just a lovely place!
A charming little place with a huge selection of interesting teas at not-ludicrous prices like a few tea places Ive visited. very friendly service, too. the person who served us clearly loves the place and what they do. Id come back frequently if I didnt live abroad but I suppose bring from England gives my positive review of a tea shop more weight, right? rrrright?
This place has an excellent selection of teas and they sell other unique clothing and things. The flavors I have tried have been very good so far.
Global Infusion is an excellent place to get herbs & spices, as well as teas! The prices are far better than anywhere else you will go to get wholesome spices and teas. Better yet, the staff is friendly and always willing to answer any questions you have. Highly recommend!
Love this place for their excellent selection of loose leaf teas (to buy by the ounce, half ounce, etc) as well as a good selection of herbs and spices. They are also just a really cute store, and I have found many great gifts for loved ones here.
Fantastic blends, beauteous crafts and curios. Wonderful shop
Always a gem. Customer service is fantastic. This is my stop for loose leaf tea and spices. The consistent quality and great flavors is well worth the price. Support a local business that is making a clear effort to do business ethically.
Love Global Infusion - if I lived right here I would stop by more often! Great selection of teas and spices and other items. They sell drinks made to order, I believe. They also carry Rise donuts (GF and vegan) which are such a treat. The employees are kind and lovely, helpful people. There is a great energy here!!
If you are interested in a tea shop with a large selection of loose leaf teas, look no more. I enjoyed an unexpected, yet amazingly delightful cinnamon pecan rooibos tea with a vegan donut. They also sell there bamboo utensils, which are rare to find. I highly recommend walking through the selections and allowing your sense of smell to pick the experience for you.
This place is a mix of cafe/bulk goods/ten thousand villages. If you need a pick me up, a gift and some loose high quality spices, this is for sure your one stop shop. The staff is supremely friendly and it is a lovely place to just sit and relax or study with a cuppa.
Charming shop with great smells and delicious teas and the like. Unique and interesting goods. Will definitely return again.
Such a wide variety of organic teas, spices, chocolate, and unique gifts from local and global artisans. The staff is always super knowledgeable and helpful. The atmosphere is incredibly calming. I cant say enough good things about Global Infusion. Highly, highly recommended.
They have walls of loose leaf teas to buy to brew on the spot or purchase by the ounce. They also have an assortment of cold beverages and chocolates for purchase. Staff are very helpful snd friendly. Definitely recommend. In the summer there is a little bit of outdoor seating to enjoy.
Friendly and caring staff. So many spices and teas as well as artisan goods. The seating area is nice size and I love that they ask you to step outside to use the phone. A wonderful atmosphere all around
Global Infusion has been a godsend. They have excellent loose leaf teas and spices. Its honestly the only one Ive found in the whole state with good loose leaf teas. You can also sit in and have them make you tea, which is quite tasty. Theres just something wholesome about selecting your own massive glass jar of loose leaf and measuring it out. You can also buy knick knacks and coffees theyve ethically sourced. Its basically just the gentlest atmosphere of any commercial place Ive ever been in.
A wonderful, fair trade coffee shop and store. They sell teas, herbs and more in bulk, which I love because, not only is it more eco-friendly, I can try something new without buying a lot of it! I found vegan fairtrade chocolate chips today, too!
My daughter and I love this store. They are nice people who work there. They also have a great variety of black, green and white loose leaf tea and herbal teas as well.
Owner is sweet, friendly, genuine and down to earth. We had an instant connection. My mom and I loved meeting you and were impressed with you!I love the smell in here. It’s one place besides Reed’s Lake that I can go to relax, be in peace, and went out. The chai and mocha latte, and selection of herbal teas are great and soothe me. Please support local, and fair trade, come meet the friendly staff and owner. You will be delighted!Some bumps in the road: Sometimes it’s too busy and kids are noisy and crying which bothers me when I have a headache, I’m sensitive. I love kids though. It’s just not fulfilling when you came to your little safe haven with screams and cries when I’m there to relax and unwind. Seating space was an issue for me several times. My free chai last time wasn’t what I usually get, it tasted bland, so I was a little disappointed in the chai. Some seem to make it better than others. Other than that, I still come here whoever I get a chance on Saturdays.😊🌷
Love this store, even though my husband and I left Grand Rapids years ago we try to make yearly pilgrimages just to visit our favorite spots. Global infusion is one of the best. They have tea and spices by the oz or to be brewed there and enjoyed immediately. They have fun odds and ends there too like chocolate, jewelry, and paper products. Prices are totally affordable and their selection is mouth-watering. Highly recommend their cherry sencha or blueberry roobios.
Really unique shop for some gourmet teas. Spices are quite pricey, but if you want to try and smell a bunch of teas and take out your own tea by the weight, than this is the place.
I like this place a lot. Tons of spices for both cooking and teas. Delicious drink and small baked goods menu. Seasonal items. And best of all, always really friendly and welcoming staff.
My husband and I LOVE this spot. Very welcoming and friendly staff. Love the variety of teas and chocolate 🍫😋
Friendly, helpful staff, and a wide selection of teas, herbs, and spices. I love that I can bring reusable jars. Most recently I found a Berbere spice blend and Ive been using it in everything (soups, hummus, etc.) Ive enjoyed shopping here for years and drinking their teas!
I love this place so much! The amount of teas and other ingredients they offer is honestly amazing. Its always fun going with a pal and getting the other to take sniffs of the blends. Just dont breathe too close or itll be too strong.
I almost dont want to write this review because I want this place all to myself! I have never had a negative experience here. If youre looking for a chill place this it it! They have an amazing varieties of teas, spices, coffee and vegan treats! Im not even vegan but would definitely give a kidney for the vegan donuts 😭 the staff is so friendly! #veganfriendly #lgbtqiafriendly #eco-friendly #pocfriendly
Nice selection of black, green, white, oolong, & rooibos teas as well as tea flavored stuff and tea paraphernalia. They also carry pretty jewelry, some shoulder & tote type bags, incense, candles, wind chimes and various globally sourced odds & ends. There are tables to sit at and enjoy a beverage from their very friendly and super helpful staff. Im looking forward to going back for more of their yummy teas! Im savoring their Vanilla Bean Black Tea right now. Mmm!
Super helpful and literally the best hot chocolate Ive ever had. They were really good at making small talk when Im super awkward and bad at talking to people, too😁 10/10 recommend
Absolutely love this place, the employees are always so kind its my favorite place to get loose leaf tea
Excellent resource for dried herbs. Ive also used this location as a meeting place with friends as well as my henna and doula clients. Its a great spot for sitting and sipping teas and coffee.
Went in for the first time looking for detox teas, chamomile and something slightly different than your normal caffeinated tea for my husband for Valentines Day-staff was very helpful and pointed me in the right direction by guiding me through their loose leaf tea selections as well as making a few suggestions!
This is such a cute little coffee and tea shop. Their chai is home made and truly unique. The barista that helped me was extremely friendly, outgoing, and helpful. It was a wonderful experience going here!
Wonderful atmosphere, not as big a selection of teas as some stores but wonderfully priced and a big selection of spices too. Staff kind and helpful. I am making this my go to for tea
One of the coolest stores around town! Tons of options for loose leaf tea and spices. Very reasonable on pricing. Worth a visit just for the smells alone!
If you want spices and teas this is the place to go. Skip those insanely expensive mall places, Global Infusion is great. Everyone there was thoughtful in their advice about spices and just genuinely helpful. Loved it.
A GR gem. World goods and the best source for bulk herbs and tea. Warm staff and smart answers. Theyll make any tea from the bulk section for enjoyment there or to go, along with specialty hot and cold beverages.
This place is so cool! It smells incredible from the second you walk in the door. They have lots of teas, spices, coffee, and gifts to choose from. Will definitely be back!
Ive been going to global infusion for several years. They have a huge selection of loose leaf teas, herb, and spices. The prices are fair, and the staff is friendly and helpful.
Wonderful tea with a smile. They have a whole wall of loose leaf tea, and you can mix and match however youd like! They also sell by the ounce in case you try a tea you need to add to your collection.
Didnt get a chance to see all of the teas, but its a nice quiet place to reflect and relax. Parking needs work tho. Small lot, and hard to spot on the first visit.
Nice place. If your into tea they have a lot of it! Decent selection of herbs and ect. Staff seem to know their stuff.
Great tea and herbal selection! Way better than Teavana. Prices are also fantastic! They blend their own chai too!
They have The BEST, loose leaf tea selections in Grand Rapids and they best Chai Tea Latte in town too!
My dear friend took me here for the tea with friends deal. Not only was it actually pretty cheap, it was very high quality and very good. I’m definitely going to come back for any teas or herbs I need.
Amazing selection of loose leaf teas at prices so cheap ive yet to walk out of there without getting something new. Bulk herbs and organic hair and soap products too. They dont mind letting you sampe a bit of things and getting a kettle of tea (~3 dollars, unlimited rebrewing) and splitting it with a friend is the best way to spend your time waiting for a seat at Marie Catribs down the street. Global Infusions should be putting every Teavanna in a 30 mile radius out of buisness.
I miss you! Best staff in town, and coffee.
Tried the chocolate chai-- it was great!
Great selection of tea and spices. Staff is very friendly, and the atmosphere is fun!

2022-05-03Best loose leaf tea in town! Ive tried many of their tea blends and herbal teas and enjoyed them all--recent faves are Spring Awakening and Flora Grey. They also have many quality bulk spices. You can bring your own tins/jars and they will fill them, which is a great sustainable option!
Review №2
2022-02-11We absolutely LOVE coming here! I come for the house chai and stay for the bulk spices and tea- all higher quality than anywhere else at a better price. Theyre dog friendly also, and love when I bring my pup Percy in to visit. Its a great place to pick up unique, fair trade gifts you couldnt find in other stores. Try the Foggy Day house blend tea, and chat with the workers- they are wonderful folks.

2021-10-30Always a pleasure to visit Global Infusion, especially each year todays date of when my partner and I met there. Best service, great selection of Fair Trade merchandise, and teas galore to choose from! Thanks for making it through the pandemic so we can continue to enjoy for years to come!

2022-04-01The staff are so friendly and they have a huge selection of teas, spices and bulk products for your kitchen and home. You can also grab a tea, coffee or (my recommendation) Chai while youre here. They also have sustainable hand made gift items that you are guaranteed to love.Last time I was in I purchased some butterfly pea tea and the staff was so helpful when I didnt know the name of it.I hope this place is around for decades. It is an absolutely irreplaceable Grand Rapids landmark.

2022-05-21This store is now on my list of must visit places when visiting Grand Rapids. The merchandise is high quality and cute. The tea and spices they sell are so fresh. The staff is friendly and attentive; you feel like youre the best part of their day. The drinks made here are top notch. Treat yourself to a visit here.

2022-06-12It was a very artsy and fun tea store. It has very healthy options and fair-trade items. The teas came in many varieties. There will be surely something for everyone if thye like tea. In addition to hot teas and lose leaf teas, they sold journals, handbags, notecards, and other accessories.

2021-12-14I had my first visit here today, and it is definitely the first of many! As soon as I walked in I couldn’t stop thinking how cute everything was and I was quickly helped at the tea counter. The woman who helped me pick out my tea was so kind and friendly, I wish I had caught her name. I also got a latte on my way out and it was very tasty. I’m so glad I decided to buy Holiday presents here, I will be back for more tea soon!
Review №9
2019-11-29Really cute coffee/Fair Trade shop with a ton of different loose leaf teas, organic snacks, and cute, nifty items. I’ve gone a couple of times and have had really good service from the staff both times! It’s right next to two cute clothing shops as well, which is convenient. There’s quite a few tables to sit at inside, which is nice for if you want to just sit down and talk or relax. I love their coffee options. The price for the ground coffee isn’t horrible. A bag of ground coffee is usually $12.00. I like the brand I usually get there, so I just pay it anyways. Hoping to buy some loose leaf tea next time. (:

2022-03-12Great coffee, sustainable clothing and household decor, paper lanterns, loose leaf tea, coffee brewing kitchen ware, greeting cards you can plant 😳 incense and decorative prints, beautiful boho wall art and tasty treats.
