Little Woods Herbs & Teas
From its humble inception, Little Woods has grown into a thriving online and retail business. Come sample one of our original blended teas or stock up on culinary and medicinal herbs for your pantry. We are on a path of discovery that continues everyday and our greatest joy is to learn from and share with our community.

At the shop you'll find: Brewed tea hot or iced, nitro cold brew tea on tap, and our own fresh baked scones; bulk herbs, spices, & loose leaf teas by the ounce; original herbal and tea blends; apothecary supplies, tea ware, and used books on herbalism and teaism; regional art; and fresh chemical free flowers from Friends Flowers (June - October, Thurs-Sat only).
Services
All orders shipped by USPS. Though for larger orders, FedEx may be used instead. This allows us to get orders out the door quickly, offer flat rate shipping on all orders over $50, and provide you with a tracking number and insurance on all orders no matter how small. All orders placed before 2:00pm Central Time are typically processed and shipped within 2 business days, though major holidays may delay us a little.*
Each month three teas (about 8-10 cups of each) are selected by the blending team at Little Woods to match the seasons. A hand-crafted tea passport accompanies your very first box welcoming you on your journey with new pages to add each month. You'll learn the origin of the blend, how to brew it, caffeine level, and a space for your tasting notes.

Little Woods is a charming shop that offers many varieties of tea and herbs. They also offer gift sets and accessories to go along with their product. I have sent many tea sample boxes as thank you gifts to my friends. I also enjoy cooking with their herbs, a wide variety with many special blends. The atmosphere is pleasant and calming. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. When I bring my friends with me from out of town they always enjoy the experience. I have also recommended Little Woods to many others who cannot make the trip to Ames to go online and check out their online store

I haven't branched into making tea at home, so I don't buy a lot from here. When I do go in, I usually get a tea latte to drink while I'm out and about. Very good selection!

I'm a tea newbie and went not knowing what to expect. The person who helped me was so nice and helpful. I was impressed with all of choices they have and I also purchased a book for beginners. I will definitely be back!

Went to Ames from Des Moines today and came upon this shop. I ordered a chai latte and it was so delicious! Really wonderful. The staff was very helpful as well. Will definitely go back.

Excellent quality tea. Great, friendly owners, who will help educate and recommend teas that you might like if you don't know what you want. They are also currently following all recommended covid precautions, so I felt safe going in to grab my cup of tea. I highly recommend the fireside tea or the twilight tea blend, both are unique and very flavorful!

What a fun and cute little shop! We loved the art installations, the product displays, and the overall aesthetic. The staff were fun to talk to and answered our questions politely (bless them lol), and we ended up leaving with several very wonderful teas to bring back.

Great selection, one of a kind Ames treasure. If you want teas, an interesting book, or spices they have them. Super friendly and knowledgeable staff, we love Beth!

Nice shop. I was looking for some "tea" gear to make better tea. The selection was pretty small, although they do have Japanese tea sets, which can be hard to find. I didn't exactly find the ceramic mugs I was looking for. But did find something suitable. Likely a great place to get a cup of tea, but we didn't take the time this trip.

Lovely atmosphere. Great place to go for an expertly crafted tea. So many kinds to choose from! Also an amazing place for herbs and spices. The staff is so friendly and knowledgeable. I always learn something new when I'm there, usually while I'm trying a new tea ;)
