At Voila! in Frederick, customers may choose from more than 350 of the world’s finest loose-leaf teas, including herbal varieties and tisanes to create their perfect cup of hot or iced tea. The shop, which recently celebrated its 10th year on Market Street, has something for everyone.

Owner and fellow tea lover Mary Jean Clark adds new teas to her shop’s lineup based on customer requests and special flavors that she discovers. In addition to loose-leaf teas, teacups and teapots, including locally made artisan pottery, and brewing accessories are also available.

Mary Jean, who also lives in Downtown Frederick, said her inspiration for opening Voila! came on a vacation to Paris, where she discovered dozens of beautiful, little tea shops and brought home

more than 100 varieties for her own consumption. She started imagining a quaint and lovely tea shop in the heart of Frederick, and 14 months later, her vision came to life. Mary Jean spends a lot of time researching teas and traveling to find the finest ones in the world to offer at Voila!

She also focuses on keeping her teas affordable, and says most of the teas offered at Voila! ultimately cost customers about 20 to 30 cents per cup, when they make it at home. Mary Jean includes a tea storage canister with all loose-leaf tea purchases at no additional cost to ensure the product remains fresh. Additionally, a discount incentive is offered for customers to bring original canisters back to the shop for the same flavor refill.
