Tea Destination in Oak Park/Forest Park

Todd & Holland Tea Merchants in Oak Park is a frequent destination for tea lovers all over the Chicagoland area. Since 1995, Todd & Holland has offered superior, unique teas handpicked from all over the world. Owner Bill Todd's lifelong passion for high quality teas inspired this special store. He and fellow owners Janet Todd and Marianne Richards offer a wealth of tea knowledge (and product!) for their customers.

Stop in Todd & Holland on West Madison Street to taste and peruse to your heart's content. You'll receive superb service from Janet or Marianne to select from among their numerous varieties of exquisite teas. When Tastybeat visited, Janet and Marianne shared their favorite picks for summer. This selection of black, green and herbal teas is perfect for enjoying on ice:

Black
Serendib Garden -- named after a Sri Lankan garden, this is a straightforward black tea that is clear, crisp and bright

Summer Solstice -- this green/black combination tea bursts with apricot, lemon and hibiscus, resulting in a refreshing and smooth iced tea

Green
Morning Dew -- this Japanese green tea is mixed with sunflower, cornflower and rose to offer a surprisingly fruity and fragrant concoction that smells exactly like a strawberry patch but tastes light and flavorful

Herbal
Sunburst Orange Tisane -- a beautiful mix of apples, hibiscus, lemon grass, orange edges and strawberries that brews to a magnificent magenta color and tastes like fresh fruit

Cold Brew
Peach or Pear Sencha -- these silk, ready-to-use pouches are perfect for overnight cold-brewed iced teas

When you visit Todd & Holland, be sure to check out their wide array of teapots and equipment.

A lovely teapot and selection of teas makes the perfect hostess gift (and a nice treat for your own home). Steep, pour, and enjoy!

Happy Brewing,

Tastybeat
