Wonderful selection of greatest hits from Japan - tea, tea pots and sets, jewelry, scarfs, clothing, and the odd antique or few!

Cha-ya really is a hidden gem and one of my favorite shops in Monterey! In addition to wonderful teas from Japan, there is a great selection of homewares, unique gifts, cards, items by local artists, incense, jewelry, and Japanese antiques. You can tell the shop is carefully and thoughtfully curated: every item is elegant and special. And, the lovely ladies that own the shop are so helpful and will always make you feel welcome!

The best ceremonial grade Matcha! The owner is extremely friendly and knowledgeable. Gifts are great too!

Part Japanese tea shop, part art and antiquities gallery. Cha-ya is wonderful. The owner is the most delightful and kind woman. I’ve been going for years - it’s a destination of delights - I love it

Quite a fine selection of Japanese goods that cannot be found elsewhere in the area. The owner is sweet, I formative, and patient. The wares are wonderful, as well as the tea selection, but is a bit pricey

Quaint little tea shop and boutique set on a corner in Monterey. The staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. I highly recommend this place.

The owner was very informative. Love the green tea and tea pots!
