Welcome to the Tradewinds Tea Emporium!

At Tradewinds, we strive to give our customers the best value and quality in contemporary and traditional teas, from Formosa Oulong to the rare Balanese Tigerflower.

We started in 1985, with a small shop on the corner of Fullerton in Chicago. Our thirsty customers helped us grow from a small cafe to a larger, full-service tea emporium with other shops in downtown Chicago on Rush, the UIC campus, and our newest branch stores in Bloomingdale and OakBrook Malls.

Come and explore our exotic teas and collectible teapots. At Tradewinds there is always a teapot on the boil and some delicious scones on the side.
