Explained: The Tea & Spice Shoppe Difference

From Crop to Cup

Not All Tea Gardens Are Equal.

As loose leaf providers, we only work with tea estates known for quality, social equity, and environmental sustainability. It's simple. A healthy home for tea (and its workers), makes for a healthy cup for you at home.

From Crop to Cup.

Whole Leaf, No Dustings

The Grade of Your Tea Matters.

Dustings? They're the lowest grade tea possible. And teabags? They're filled with tea dust.

All to provide a mild convenience that comes at the expense of quality, flavor, and overall experience. And all for the same price, per gram of loose leaf.

Plus, many providers use plastic in their teabags. It's just another reason to #GoWholeLeaf #GoLooseLeaf

Whole Leaf, No Dustings.

Responsibly Sourced, Sustainably Produced

We've Done Our Homework, So You Don't Have To

From a fair trading system to a production system that works in harmony with nature, tea has been at the focal point of ethical and sustainable practices.

Whether produced according to Fairtrade criteria or via the Ethical Tea Partnership's guidance, all our teas come from noble tea communities.

And many are certified organic.

Responsibly Sourced, Sustainably Produced

Small Batches, Zero Waste

'Less Commodity, More Luxury.' That's Our Motto.

What's that mean? It means we treat our products with respect and don't sacrifice their quality for profit.

How? We order in small batches & package products as orders come.

A low inventory means we miss out on sales, but the ability to always pack you fresh product is worth it. Plus, there isn't a sprinkle of spice or a tea that goes to waste. Any extra goes right into our pantry.

Small Batches, Zero Waste

From Farm to Table

Your Spices Shouldn't Have Time for Hobbies.

After the farm, many spices pick up new hobbies before they reach you. Like collecting dust. Not much else to do on a grocery shelf besides lose color & flavor. And preservatives can only do so much for an aging spice.

That's why we only bring in what we know we'll sell. And quickly. So quick that our spices don't have time to raise dust bunnies.
