We take the intimidation out of the process through trainings, education, and by providing you with a seasonal tea recipe guide for inspiration.

Why Loose leaf Tea?

There are many benefits to offering loose leaf tea in both a cafe and a retail setting. Customers have fallen in love with loose leaf tea because it enhances the overall tea experience; it feels special and tastes delicious.

For Cafe’s: Tea customers want just as much love as coffee customers. This means they want something unique, that engages the senses. They can see and taste the difference in quality. Loose leaf tea makes their cafe experience one worth paying for. Additionally, from a brewing perspective, loose leaf tea allows you to serve a flavorful brew, no matter the cup size, by simply adding the correct amount of tea. 

For Shops/Retail: Loose leaf tea is a staple item for tea lovers, especially as consumers have learned more about the toxins found in tea bags, and the environmental benefits from making the switch. Loose leaf tea paired with an infuser, also makes a perfect gift that anyone can enjoy. We have seen great success with our teas at specialty food shops, gift stores, and community marketplaces. 

Which teas should I Choose?

Determining which teas to start with can be a tough decision! We suggest following these guidelines:

-Pick at least 3 options: one green tea, one black tea, and one herbal (caffeine free) tea

-Pick at least one ‘unflavored’ tea option, as some customers don’t like teas with natural flavorings added

-Try to pick a variety of flavor profiles (not all floral, not all fruity)

Let’s talk logistics

• Minimum order quantity for retail sized bags (1oz, 2oz, 4oz) is 20 bags total,  but you can mix and match flavors to get to that total. Minimum order quantity for tea by the pound is $120 total value.
