Name: High Tea at the Brown Palace

Location/Address: 321 17th St, Denver, CO 80202 [link]

Description: High Tea at the Brown Palace is the upper-echelon of high tea. The Brown Palace offers one of the country's longest consecutive high teas (beginning in the year 1915) and has offered a luxury experience ever since. Even if you're a tea purist, this is still one tea experience worth having. However, high tea reservations, especially for their Christmas high tea, can book out months in advance, so be sure to plan accordingly.

Name: Milk Tea People

Location/Address: 1641 Market St #133, Denver, CO 80202 [map]

Description: Milk Tea People is a premier milk tea shop that's a block from Union Station. This must-have artisan milk tea is some of the best you'll find in all of Colorado, and will have you coming back for more.

Name: Trident Booksellers

Location/Address: 940 Pearl St, Boulder, CO 80302 [map]

Description: Trident Booksellers is a Boulder staple and was the first coffee shop in Boulder to serve espresso. However, Trident is one of the only tea shops in the country that offers self-serving gong fu tea. They also source tea directly from farmers and carry all types of high-end tea throughout the year. This is a must-have for any and all tea lovers, as they have some of the best tea you can buy in the country, much less Colroado.

Name: Celestial Tea Factory Tour

Location/Address: 4600 Sleepytime Dr, Boulder, CO 80301 [link]

Description: Did you know that Celestial Tea is located in Colorado? Did you also know that you can take a tour of their facility? Their famed tour takes you through the facility to get a first-hand look at what goes on behind the scenes in a tea factory, and ends with another tour of sorts at the gift shop. Although this isn't a tea shop, this is still one tea experience that all tea drinkers alike can enjoy.

Name: Yellow Mountain Tea House

Location/Address: 2616 W Colorado Ave #21, Colorado Springs, CO 80904 [map]

Description: In Colorado Springs, you'll find this hidden gem of a tea shop. This tea shop has walls of tea you can choose from, and will be made for you in a tea service that also offers delicious food and snacks. Between the tea and the dumpling, anyone can find something they'd fall in love with.

Name: Happy Lucky Tea House

Location/Address: 236 Walnut St, Fort Collins, CO 80524 [map]

Description: Located in historic Old Town, this Fort Collins tea shop offers many incredible tea blends made in-house, as well as single-origin teas that'll make any tea drinker drool. To make things better, they have an incredible tea-ware section that's worth a double-take.
