Our Story
The idea of a Tea House had been something that we had considered for a long time. Lynnette's background is in Public Relations and communications, Eric's background is media, film and journalism. We knew that becoming business owners wasn’t too far off from the realm of possibilities for us. In 2015, while having tea in one of our favorite cafe’s, we resolved that we wanted to give business ownership a shot, and we knew we wanted to do it with an urban inspired flare. We both love to entertain, and Lynnette enjoys cooking and event planning. We began researching our business plan and in June of 2015, we went to the World Tea Expo Conference in Long Beach, CA and that solidified our decision. We started with a series of soft launches which led to our official online tea boutique launch in October 2015, and since then we have gotten our teas in cafe's, restaurants, bakery's and universities. We also have a presence at more than 5 farmers markets around Baltimore.
