Artisan Tea & Coffee has been inspected three times since 2024. Inspectors last stopped by on Jul 11, 2025. A medium risk rating points to a few notable findings at the last inspection, though nothing severe.

Food, supplies, or equipment not protected from potential source accounts for the largest share of issues, appearing two times across the record.
