The Secret Garden was founded in the summer of 2004 as a small brick & mortar specialty bulk tea, herb and spice store on the Central Coast of California, in Downtown San Luis Obispo. Originally motivated by our love for the craft of herbalism-working with botanicals for natural self-healing and culinary pleasure-we felt that the retail marketplace for quality, organic bulk herbs and spices was underrepresented.

As someone who drinks a lot of tea and has for most of her life, I can confidently recommend this shop. The Jasmine Dragon Pearls and the Indian Black Tea are phenomenal. I also loved the Spiced Apple Caramel - it's light, but satisfies my craving for dessert. They also have teas that are great for the cold/flu season, so I hope to pick up more herbal teas soon!
I also love the ladies that work here; they're knowledgable, have given me great recommendations, and are always lovely to talk to! It's always a peaceful and magical experience stopping by.

Best hidden tea/organic herb garden I have ever come across! Stumbled across this place and spent easily 30 minutes just looking at everything they had to offer. Ended up purchasing some different teas that I now use very often. Cashier was extremely kind and approachable. Will be ordering more herbs online cause I don't live in the area 😊

What a gem. The Secret Garden is an incredible destination for unique tea blends and high quality pure leaf teas. It's a small business owned by the kindest human you will ever meet (Kirsten), and her amazing spirit will brighten your day for sure! The Secret Garden is a must for tea connoisseurs as well as those just getting their feet wet. Meander into the shop, and find yourself surprised and delighted in the sensory treasures!

Best. Tea/Herb. Shop. Ever. Eye love this place. Just went and picked up some Assam and realized I have not yet left a sterling review for this slice of heaven. The owner is magnificent and they always have what I want and the quality of their stock is amazing. I don’t go anywhere else for my tea and herbs. It’s a hidden gem 💎 but once you find it you will always know where to go 🌞

Great place. The owner of the shop really knows her teas and she is very knowledgeable on herbs for various different ailments that you may have and she is able to make a customized tea for you to help alleviate symptoms. She has very good customer service and very empathetic to customer needs. There's a wide variety of teas to choose from and you would be able to find anything that you're looking for there. I suggest that you check her shop out and is very very cool.

I can't believe how many years I had tea from tea bags! The Secret Garden has an INCREDIBLE selection of REAL TEAS. So Yummy !! Kirsten and Erin are VERY friendly and Super Knowledgeable about Tea - and which Teas are best for this and that. A little tricky to find -- Get yourself to the corner of Higuera and Garden -- then look across Higuera for the Mission Mall -- Walk through the Mall "tunnel" of stores, go all the way back by the creek. Turn left and go about 20 feet - it's on your left. Can't recommend it enough -- So great.
