Herbs Make Scents - Webster, Massachusetts

What a lovely experience. The owner made sure we found everything we needed and gave us directions on making iced teas at home. The lavender lemonade and the cinnamon scone were delicious. I love that so many products are locally sourced, like the honey, maple syrup and candles. We’ll be back for sure!

Hi everyone at HMS; I viewed some of your teas and sample the Hibiscus Tea at Chevere Beads and Gift shop in Uxbridge today and I am sharing this with you. We drive by the shop when doing long chores over at Franklin and Bellingham. We also viewed a gift basket with some of HMS Teas over at Lulu's Gift in Whitinsville at their new location. Today was certainly a day to stumble on your teas. Happy Spring.

Hello; thank you for letting us visit your shop and take a pic for our album. The store is clean and full of good things, it seems. I am impromptu and never sure what to make or what others make of my appearing in their shop wanting to take a pic. May you continue to thrive in this loose-leaf tea business. Many thanks for having us; my husband and myself that is. It is always he and I; none else as there seems to be followers/intruders or I imagine. I am sorry. Best in all.

My husband and I participated in the “Make Your Own Tea Blend” class, where Terri talked and guided us through the process of making our own tea blend to take home with us. She is a humble and gracious host and teacher, who shared her knowledge and experience for/of teas and the process, openly. For example, tea qualities, ways to blend teas, water steeping temperatures, etc.

She had several examples of tea blends to compliment each other, and a recipe card for us to remember the teas that we sampled that we may use in our blend.

There were several base teas she prepared for us to taste, and teas that we could use to build on the base. It was such a playful time for the senses as we smelled and sipping on different teas, took in the uniqueness of the tea shapes and colors. We came to our own tea blend, and even created a name for the blends. It was fun seeing what blends others were putting together. It was a class of 8 people, and the blends were so different, so we left with some ideas for future blends. Not to mention, that we learned about smoked tea for the first time, so we will be giving this a try.

The store has lovely decor and cozy feel to it with a table and chairs to sit and drink tea and eat pastry and chocolates. There are various types of tea blends that Terri has created, tea pots and tea infusers, local honey, local jams, local soaps and local truffles.

I love thus place and go there frequently! The tea selection is divine and added to often, the coffee is smooth and delicious. I'm a huge fan of the new lavender lemonade personally. All the food is light and delicious, and there are plenty vegan and gluten free selections as well! The space is warm and cozy, and the staff is friendly and welcoming. A beautiful addition to Whitinsville!

I haven't been into the shop but my Grandmother has and she loved it! She bought me a bag of the soothe and Sleep tea and it's been the best thing to ever happen to me. My 5 star rating is not only for the tea though. I went online to purchase more as I live too far to go to the shop myself. I placed a bulk order and soon recieved an email from the owner that she only had part of my order available and the rest was on back order. She ever so kindly shipped what she had to me with a handwritten note that the rest will be on its way soon. I cannot rave enough about the kindness and level of communication she had. The tea is amazing and so are the people!

We found this tea shop while traveling parts of the East coast recently. It was such a wonderful experience! The tea was delicious (we tried a few!) and the people were delightful! We so enjoyed hearing about the teas we were about to drink. Did I mention the mini scones that melt in your mouth? Our favorite scones to date! We also enjoyed a cold beverage on the way out the door - the lavender lemonade is fantastic! We hope our travels will bring us this way again!

Herbs Make Scents tea has the best loose leaf tea! There are so many flavors and varieties available to chose from such as Black, White, Green, Herbal, Ayurvedic, and Cold Brew. My absolute favorite is the Chai Rooibos (Herbal). Another popular offering (and another favorite) is their Lavender Lemonade which I insist you must try! Owner, Terri, is very knowledgeable on all things tea and can help you pick the one for your cup! Highly recommend this small business!

I only discovered what a good tea is after having my first sip of HMS tea. Terri hand blends all the exquisite herbal teas that I'm in love with... so much so that now I am using it in my cooking, baking and chocolate making experiences. I LOVE HMS chai, lemon ginger, L.o.v.e, lavender lemonade, pretty much everything they blend. Everything I tried was perfectly balanced. Keep in mind that I used to be an avid coffee drinker and have replaced my afternoon coffee with HMS. The shop is also charming and inviting. They also have lovely gift sets. This shop is a gem!
