We've been at this for 20 years and still relish the quest for amazing tea.

A walk in Washington Square Park, a day at the beach, a backyard BBQ, a slice at the local pizza place to name a few. The every day experiences of life are our inspirations. We love to make gift sets with reusable and recyclable materials, such as glass vials, wooden boxes, and pulp paper clamshells. The combination of sustainability with delicious ingredients is a major factor in the design and curation of our sets.

GEORGIA GUIDA
Twig Tea

Love this tea. I tasted it the first time while visiting an ashram in Massachusetts back in 1996, and it still tastes just as good. Robust and flavorful.
