Love this place! It has a real chai latte made with no artificial pumped sweeteners! The atmosphere is calm and relaxing and the smell in global infusion is amazing.

The owner has been a friend since grammar school. Her business is just like her; full of integrity, soul and integrity.

Got the chai tea here, and it was tops.
No concentrates used here: this stuff is legit! I nearly went to a different nearby coffee shop, but a friend set me straight– and thank goodness! Apparently the other place uses Oregon concentrate for their Chai, which is good, but I can get that anywhere. Great blend of spices, tea, milk, and sweet. Hard to top folks!

Really yummy chai tea lattes! A little on the pricier side but only because the ingredients are the best!

On a wet, cold, dreary day, I needed some tea to brighten my spirts. Remembering Global Infusion’s floor to ceiling shelves, it was a no brainer to stop in for a warm up. Craving licorice tea specifically (something that’s hard to find elsewhere), the friendly staff/​tea guru showed me 5 different kinds of teas, all with licorice notes. Heaven! My tea haul today consisted of 5 totally new to me, amazingly sented teas for my mug. This tea is hardy too– none of that powder stuff– you can see and most importantly taste the natural flavor. A few cups of this, and I may just make it through another Michigan winter.

Excellent tea, and I do mean excellent. I am not really that into tea, but I decided to study there, and I loved the tea I had. It had a natural sweetness to it, I did not even add any sugar.
My only minor complaint is that the workers, while very very nice, were just too loud when talking with other customers. I know it’s not a library, but I felt that the retail area could be a little quieter/​separate from the tea drinking area. Great tea– you should check it out.

This place is my absolute favorite location for good quality tea… ever. There is an entire wall of fair trade and organic loose leaf teas that are all extremely reasonably priced, and very high quality. I’m actually kicking myself for not buying more.
They also have spices, fair trade goods, cookies from Marie Catrib’s, and a smaller selection of coffee. One of my favorite things is their monthly rotating chai tea latte. It’s always incredible, and you can choose from several different kinds of milk for them to make it with.
Do yourself a favor and stop here.

Great tea and spice selection at amazing prices!
Global Infusion keeps a diverse and appealing selection of loose-​leaf teas, including harder-​to-​find varieties like puerh nests. And the spice selection is unbeatable; stop paying 500% markups on spice jars at the grocery store and get fresher, higher-​quality spices for less here.
Hope this place stays around forever; it’s a neighborhood treasure.

This place is fantastic.
An entire wall of Fair Trade loose leaf tea (mostly organic) and spices.
Wide variety of other Fair Trade and handmade things– bags, jewelry, etc.
The tea selection is what keeps me coming back!

The tea selection is amazing! I was a little overhwhelemd with my first visit and couldn’t decide what tea to try so ended up getting a variety pack of organic fair trade tea, which is amazing and fun to be able to try a few flavors to see which one I like best. Can’t wait to return and purchase more tea. The staff is supper friendly and very helpful.

I am so grateful to have this store /​coffee & tea shop in my neighborhood. It is one of the best stores in town and their whole focus is on fair trade goods… so, not only do they have cool stuff, but none of it is made in sweatshops. I love buying unique gifts there, and the women who run the store are always super helpful and friendly.
When you stop in, ask them to show you their loose-​leaf Jasmine Green tea and take a whiff to experience the unique smell. If you dig it, grab some. It’s a steal at only $ 2.15 per ounce. And, if you’re not familiar with brewing loose-​leaf, don’t be intimidated. They have everything you need (which isn’t much) right there for you to purchase inexpensively.

This is probably the best place in GR and quite possibly one of the best places in all of Michigan for tea. My boyfriend and I stumbled upon it on a road trip around Thanksgiving. I had looked for a nice tea shop on Unilocal,but we were even more excited when we entered the place. Excellent selection of tea and chocolates, as well as fair trade items from around the globe. I loved their cookbook selection! The staff was very knowledgeable and very sweet. If I were to make any suggestions to bring it up to a 5-​Star, it would simply to make the seating area more comfortable (perhaps Moroccan cloth on the ceiling to make it more intimate; softer seating and global mood music). Excellent place and I will definitely stop by next time I pass through GR!

The tea selection is incredible. I try a new one everytime I go in, and have yet to be disappointed.
The rain forest hot chocolate/​tea thing is also amazing, and should be given a try! I feel horrible for not really remembering the name.
