We opened our first location in the Southern New Mexican mountain town of Ruidoso. We started with just 12 types of tea and a few cases of honey. The building we started in was huge and we barely had enough inventory to fill a table. So we filled the space with wine barrels and antiques. Since then we've expanded into communities we want to visit often, so you'll find us in only the cutest little communities in the Southwestern United States.

We're brewing something different everyday. ☺︎
Discovered the chai at a shop in Flagstaff. Have been addicted to the chai blend ever since!
Oh man! I went in to find the orange chocolate pou ehr, and came out with two new flavors. If you’re into the pou ehrs, the bee pollen black is my new life source
I visited the Flagstaff store on a business trip recently. The sample tea of Enchanted Earl Gray had me buying a tin of it to take home to my tea loving daughter. Neither of us had ever tasted a better tea and I recently received my first order of five varieties of tea. Can’t wait to try these and what a delightful find to have stumbled onto Old Barrel Tea! Thank you for a quality tea experience!
Discovered Old Barrell Tea in Durango and fell in love with your flavors. I came home with 3 tins and ordered 2 more plus a strainer. These flavors are so rich. So fresh. So unique. Let’s just say Mexican Hot Chocolate is my new best friend. Happy to discover you’re based in ABQ… I’m in Santa Fe and will visit again soon. – Bev
