A tea shop with the heart of a teacher. We often refer to Tea Market as the tea shop with the heart of a teacher. We love your questions!

Discover 140+ loose-leaf teas, exclusive house blends, artisan gifts, and self-care essentials curated to support intentional living and daily ritual. A popular FAQ is, How do I steep the tea? That’s why we include our recommendations in the description for every item in our online tea store and on each canister you purchase in our store. Because even the best loose leaf green tea can be made bitter by getting the water temperature wrong.

Most people who steep loose leaf tea are measuring by habit, not by intention.

One teaspoon per 8 oz is the right place to start, and it works well for most teas. But once you understand why it works, and where it breaks down, you can start making real adjustments that actually improve your cup.

The short version: a teaspoon measures volume, not weight. A teaspoon of white peony and a teaspoon of rolled oolong are not the same amount of tea. Same scoop, very different steep.

Swipe through for the quick reference table by tea type, then head to the blog for the full breakdown, including the five-step method for dialing in your own ratio and the three mistakes that make even good tea taste off.

Meet Bora, our brand new house blend and this week's tea of the week.

If you love Bora Bora but have ever wished the fruit and floral notes were a little softer, this is the blend we made for you. Bora is the same black tea base with half the exotic island fruits, giving you hibiscus, papaya, currants, elderberries, raspberry, strawberry, and flowers in a more subtle, refreshing balance.

It steeps beautifully hot, but it is honestly one of the best iced teas in the shop. Slightly sweet from the fruit alone, no sugar needed.

New this week and ready for you to try!

Come in and sample it all week!

Not all caffeine is the same experience.  Tea has two things going for it that coffee does not.

First, the dose.  A typical cup of black tea has around 40 to 70mg of caffeine.  A typical cup of coffee has 90 to 200mg.  Before anything else comes into play, you are already taking in anywhere from nearly half to as little as one fifth of the caffeine.

Second, L-theanine, a naturally occurring amino acid found primarily in the tea plant and almost nowhere else.

Research shows it works synergistically with caffeine, meaning the two compounds together produce something greater than either one does on its own. The result for many people is calm, focused alertness rather than a sharp spike and drop.

It is not just a preference. The science is in the cup.

We wrote the full breakdown on the blog. Link in bio.

Most people know tea as a healthy beverage.

Few know it as a force that toppled empires, sparked revolutions, and displaced people across continents.

The O***m Wars?  Rooted in Britain's obsession with Chinese tea.

The American Revolution?  Ignited by a tax on it.

Darjeeling, one of the most celebrated teas in the world, exists because a botanist smuggled plants out of China and brought workers who had no real say in the journey.

This is the history that lives in your cup.  It's complicated, it's fascinating, and we think it's worth knowing.

Swipe through to see how tea changed the world.
