Customer Testimonials
Here is what some of our customers have to say about our wonderful store:Today I tried a new local place that differed a little from the regular java joint. Orientspiration is a retail store that sells Chinese products for an extremely low price, but on top of that they have a variety of great teas. One of the best aspects of it though is that it’s quiet. See, when you go to a coffee shop there are often quite a few customers... many a times customers with children. If those aren't there, then it will be customers there for meetings. All of that can get quite loud and when I am trying to sit around and relax with a good book, I just need some peace and quiet to be able to absorb it. Or (as I call it) has a peaceful environment and generally soothing music in the background. So, if any of you are in the North Raleigh area, I definitely recommend giving it a try. It is aesthetically appealing and a nice place to stop for a cup of tea or two.

I just had a wonderful cup of Black Strawberry loose leaf tea, while my daughter Kinnidy enjoyed the Citron Green loose leaf. All I can tell you is simple pleasures are the absolute best.
While I know it’s easy to go and pull a box of tea from the shelf of your local grocery store try to spend a little time in a local tearoom tasting the wonderful varieties. The time spent is usually worth every moment of pleasure you experience sipping tea at the end of a long day.

I like the place so much, when we had company this year, I carried them to this lovely shop, and they enjoyed it so much they took many unexpected purchases home with them. If I have not enticed you enough yet, they plan tea parties, tea tasting, Mah Jong game nights, and more. I know you will have a great time.

I love to support local independent retailers. ORiEnTspiration is a store with just the right personal touch. In fact, I bought their gift certificates because their personal touch was the perfect way for me to recognize others for their personal contributions to my life.
