Wherever you’re coming from, here’s what to expect when you visit 4 Cycles of Life, our tea store and herbal shop in Peoria.

What You’ll Find Here

We’re a tea shop first. You’ll find our premium herbal tea blends (2 oz, $19.99) and our custom herbal tea blends (2 oz, $13.99) that you build right at the tea bar with me. We also carry tonics, bitters and black seed oils.

Just so you know before you come: we don’t sell bulk herbs, and we don’t offer tea tastings. What we do offer is time at the tea bar to talk through the herbs and build a blend that fits your taste.

Build Your Own Tea Blend in the West Valley

This is the part people love most. At the tea bar, you build a custom herbal tea blend step by step:

  1. Base: choose 1–2 base herbs
  2. Support: choose 1–3 support herbs
  3. Flavor: choose 1–2 flavor herbs (ginger is one of our flavor options)

Pick at least 3 herbs and up to 7 in total. I’ll help you along the way, and you leave with a 2 oz bag of a blend that’s all yours.
