Aunt Jenn's Tea and Spice Shop

Aunt Jenn’s is a tea and spice shop on Wilton Drive run by Jennifer Malone Fidel, the Aunt Jenn of the name. She founded the business in 2011, and the shop says the name comes from her role as aunt to 25 nieces and nephews. Family runs all through the story: the shop credits her grandmother’s sun tea, brewed on a back porch in Alabama, and her Southern roots and love of Cajun cooking shape the spice side of the store.

The shop lists more than 65 teas, from herbal, white and green to oolong, black and yerba maté, along with fruit tisanes, about 25 spice blends and roughly 150 single herbs and spices. If something isn’t on the shelf, the shop says it can often blend it to order. It also sells tea infusers, bundles and gift cards, and ships online orders.

Stay a while and the tea bar will pour you a matcha latte, a bubble tea or a seasonal special, and the shop takes reservations for English afternoon tea. The Wilton Drive storefront is the newer of its two homes: Aunt Jenn’s got its start at the Yellow Green Farmers Market in Hollywood, where it still sells on weekends.
