 "As a young girl my mother and I used to stop in to get tea and chocolates after my cello lessons next door at the Conservatory of Central Illinois. Ever since then, Walnut Street Tea Company has had a special place in my heart.  I'm very excited to now own this great tea shop and help people explore the wonderful world of tea."

With over 35 years of business and loyal customers, the Walnut Street Tea Company has been a local treasure for thousands of people in Champaign-Urbana and the surrounding communities. Walnut Street Tea Company was started in 1981 and has grown into a premiere specialty shop for tea lovers and specialty tea connoisseur's from around the Midwest. In February 2016, Hilary Porter purchased the business and plans to extend the legacy of this great Champaign treasure. 

Under new ownership, Walnut Street Tea will continue in its traditions while adding some newer offerings for coffee and tea lovers in the community. Hilary plans to expand the business by adding new tea & coffee options, the Walnut Club with member rewards, and online ordering.
