Teas Etc.

Born from a humble cup of tea, Teas Etc opened in August of 1998 and has grown with the evolution of tea in North America and beyond.

Beginning in a garage primarily selling at Farmers Markets, we grew our customer base through aggressive grass roots marketing, a lot of early mornings, many samples of tea, tons of education, and tremendous customer loyalty–for which we continue to be grateful.

Traveling to China in those early days helped form the commitment to origin authenticity and premium quality. That commitment to quality and supply chain transparency spawned the development of a network of farmers and purveyors beginning in China and later extending to other tea producing regions.

We continue to offer origin authentic specialty teas of premium quality, many of which are still processed by hand. This also allows us to better educate tea drinkers at home while honoring the skill and artistry of the craftsmen at origin.

Our Story hasn’t yet come to a close. There are more teas to be discovered, people to meet, places to go and cups to consume.  As a pioneer for women in the industry, Beth continues to spend time at origin cultivating her palate and honing her tea skills.
