We are dedicated to sourcing high-quality teas from reputable suppliers and estates worldwide. Our product descriptions provide details on the origin of each tea and tisane. 

Yes! All of our online offerings are USDA organic certified. Similarly, teas and tisanes served at private events, pop-ups, and activations are organic. 

All true teas come from the same plant—Camellia sinensis. The difference lies in the processing.

• White tea: Minimally processed, withered, and dried. It has a delicate flavor.
• Green tea: Not oxidized. The leaves are heated (steamed or pan-fired) to prevent oxidation, resulting in a fresh, vegetal flavor.
• Oolong tea: Partially oxidized, somewhere between green and black tea, resulting in a wide range of flavors, from light and floral to dark and roasted.
• Black tea: Fully oxidized. The leaves are withered, rolled, and left to oxidize before drying, leading to a robust, malty flavor.
• Pu’er tea: This is a unique category of fermented tea, traditionally from Yunnan Province, China. The leaves undergo a microbial fermentation process after they have been dried and rolled. This can be done through a controlled, accelerated process ("cooked" Pu’er) or a long, natural aging process ("raw" Pu’er), which can take many years. Pu’er teas are known for their deep, earthy, and complex flavors that often improve with age. 

All teas from the Camellia sinensis plant (white, green, oolong, black, and Pu’er) naturally contain caffeine. The amount varies depending on the type of tea, steeping time, and water temperature. Our tisanes (herbal infusions), such as Berry Well or Raspberry Relax, are all naturally caffeine-free.
