Our story
Once the pandemic began in 2020, the owners, Corinn & Chris, decided to move out of Brooklyn and to New Paltz, where they could have a garden and rock climb outside more often.
Then in early 2021, Chris saw our current storefront for rent and peeked through the door. He instantly had a vision for this tiny space—a loose tea and spice shop & cafe. He went home to tell Corinn about his idea, expecting her to shut down his idea like she had done with his other business ideas throughout their nine years together. To his surprise, she loved the idea and thought it would do well in their beloved town of New Paltz. Since both of their freelance jobs were slow due to the pandemic, they decided to begin a new career together as business owners.
Over the past two years, they have concocted delicious tea lattes, sparkling iced teas, tea lemonades, and espresso lattes that have created a small but mighty following. As tea aficionados and food lovers, they are constantly looking for new ways to expand their business so they can share their passions with as many people as possible.
