Savoy Tea in the Pinnacle Hills Mall, Rogers, is a fantastic place to hang out. Any loose-leaf tea place attracts me, and if you’re not a fan of coffee, this is also the place for you.
Savoy Tea Co is a top-tier tea shop serving some of the best beverages in Northwest Arkansas. Their experts steep the tea from fresh local- and foreign-sourced leaves, which you can pair with home-baked foods and treats. If interested, you can buy tea leaves to take home.
I usually enjoy green machos, and I was so delighted Savoy Tea had the leaves in stock during my visit. In this article, I’ll discuss everything you need to know about Savoy Tea in Pinnacle Hills Mall.

What’s the Best Time To Go To Savoy Tea in Pinnacle Hills?
Savoy Tea welcomes customers to enjoy food and beverages every day. However, there are recommended periods to visit, especially if you want to hang around to enjoy the shop’s serenity and atmosphere.
The best time to visit Savoy Tea during weekdays is just after opening and around 11 am. It gets progressively busier, peaking at 2-4 pm, but from 5-7 pm, it’s less crowded. From Fridays through Sundays, customers may wait longer to receive their orders because the shop is most congested then.
The tea shop is open every day, from 10 am to 9 pm but on Sundays, they’re only open from 11 am to 7 pm.
Since most people have weekends off, visiting Savoy Tea after their relatively late opening is more convenient.
Typically, tea lovers wait 10 minutes on average after placing an order any day, but the quality of their products makes up for the time you wait. The staff members can be highly engaging as they share more insight into every unique drink, from the harvesting to the steeping processes.

Savoy Tea Sells Tea Leaves
Luckily, you don’t always have to wait for Savoy Tea Co. to open at 11 am to enjoy their delicious drinks. They sell a wide range of tea leaves in the store for customers to prepare at their convenience, and they even offer home-delivery services.
Savoy Tea sells over 70 tea leaves curated into 9 categories. The green and white teas are the most popular among their customers, but you might find a new favorite if you give the others a chance. They’re all sourced from around the world, including China, Argentina, Taiwan, and South Africa.
If you’re interested in tasting some of Savoy’s premium tea, below are the leaf varieties to select from:
- White tea: Savoy White Tea leaves range from the Chinese Bai Mu Dan to the fruity Strawberry White and can be enjoyed hot or iced. They’re generally more alkaline than most other types.
- Green tea: No teas are more popular than green ones on a typical day in Savoy, and I love a cup of Savoy green tea myself. If you also can’t get enough of them, order these leaves and enjoy preparing them at home.
- Oolong tea: These Chinese and Taiwanese teas have several distinguishing qualities. However, each brings something new to your taste buds.
- Black tea: Savoy Black Tea is a vast collection with nearly 45 varieties at your disposal. However, none takes beyond 6 minutes to steep, even for the inexperienced.
- Puerh tea: Puerh teas are highly beneficial, health-wise, as they aid digestion and cleanse toxins, and Savoy Tea regularly has a handful of their leaf varieties on sale.
- Rooibos tea: Fortunately for some tea lovers, most Savoy Rooibos tea leaves are caffeine-free, and you can take them home to enjoy today.
- Herbal tea: Some herbal tea leaves from the Rogers location include Beauty & the Beets, Miracle Mermaid Tea, and Chili Mango Cleanse.
- Mate: Yerba mate may be the most popular leaves in this category, but Savoy also has Peppermint, Citrus, and Chocolate Vanilla varieties.
- Caffeine-free tea: Like some Rooibos leaves, Savoy’s caffeine-free leaves are entirely void of the stimulant. In the long run, they lower the risk of a blood pressure spike.
