A Thousand Leaves

I don't know much about herbs, but still love this place and always feel welcome. The in-house herbalists are kind and patient, and always help me figure out what I need. Whether it's dried herbs, tea blends, or custom tincture formulas, they'll help you get what you need and within whatever budget you have. You can spend $5 or $500 here and always walk away with something that will make your life better. It's a cozy little oasis, with a beautiful sign, a welcoming courtyard, and a friendly and knowledgeable staff. I also highly recommend going here to get gifts for loved ones! Such a well-curated selection of items, from soaps and chocolates, to reference materials and bulk medicinal and culinary herbs. A Thousand Leaves makes Gainesville a better place!

Tucked away without a flashy storefront this gem of a tea place offers excellent selection, great customer service and various great educational courses. I love shopping here, learning about botanicals and have tried to make various kinds of herbal concoctions. Highly recommend!

Went here for the first time today. I LOVE this place! The owner Is very knowledgable, and helpful. I purchased a tincture to help me sleep. She has a great variety of loose herbs. Will be going back for sure!

The herbalist that owns this shop is extremely knowledgeable and compassionate. The shop's selection of loose herbs and small-batch formulas is top notch, as is their soothing, relaxing atmosphere. It's a must-visit hidden gem!

Lovely place with great variety/selection. I got pu'erh tea and it proved itself to my tea snob standards.
If they have it I highly recommend the mugwort/peppermint/etc herbal prerolls! They taste amazing and it's such a happy mugwort blend.
Also, they package everything up in these cute little sealed bags. 10/10

SUPER helpful! I came in with my pregnancy tea recipe and they made it for me on the spot. They even customized the volume of tea for the amount I wanted to spend today. Knowledgeable, professional, friendly. Also the shop is very clean. Masks required.

I could most literally go there everyday and learn something new, or find an herb I’ve never heard of before. Leann, the shop owner, is extremely knowledgeable and is an expert herbalist who can help aid any ailment that you may have. Just go in, say you’re looking for a natural remedy for *blank* and she can help you out with a tea blend, a tincture, or something else off her shelves! Please go in and support this lady, she’s awesome and has a welcoming and relaxed ~vibe~.

This is an amazing herb shop! Their quality is fantastic, they have the brightest calendula ive ever seen. Leann is so helpful and friendly and can help you with formulation if you are unsure what to try as well :)

You will feel good after visiting, guaranteed! Being in this special place, talking with concerned, wise, supportive folks, and bringing home potent, fresh, high quality flavors and fragrances for eating, healing, and health = abundant goodness!
