Because good tea shouldn’t just taste good — it should do good for you, too.

Dreamy Vibes in Every Sip — Meet Dream Come Blue

The Tea

This is Moody’s take on a classic bedtime blend — with a little extra oomph. Butterfly pea flower and lavender set the scene with calming floral vibes, while passionflower, tulsi, skullcap, and valerian root bring serious chill energy to the party.

But the real magic? This tea changes color — steep it for a deep blue, then add lemon and watch it turn vibrant purple. And heads up — a little goes a long way. This is not your average sleepytime tea. One cup and you’ll be counting zzz’s in no time.

Gotta hype myself up

Rosemary Lemonade brews a mild green tea complemented by lemongrass, rosemary, and lemon, creating a stimulating and uplifting tea.
John's Big Black Chai is our take on a traditional chai, inspired and blended by our cofounder John while they were on the search for the ultimate chai latte. This bold tea brews a great morning cup to awaken the mind and boost the senses. Like many chai blends, this tea is great on its own but was formulated specifically to make a great chai latte. This blend really shines with the addition of your favorite sweetener and milk or alternative.

  • Tea Cakes: A Sweet Staple of Black History
    Tea cakes aren’t just a snack—they’re a story. Born from resilience and resourcefulness, these soft, simple cookies have been a staple in Black homes for generations. Enslaved African Americans, denied access to the refined pastries of their enslavers, crafted their own version using what little they had—molasses, brown sugar, nutmeg, and ingenuity.But the story of tea cakes isn’t just about what went into them—it’s about the labor that made them possible. From sugarcane fields to wheat plantations, Black hands did the backbreaking work of cultivating the very ingredients they were rarely allowed to enjoy. Yet, from those scraps, they created something lasting. Tea cakes became a symbol of survival, shared at church gatherings, family celebrations, and passed down through generations.As we honor Black History Month 2025 and its theme, “African Americans and Labor,” let’s take a moment to recognize the hands that built, baked, and preserved this history. Tea cakes aren’t just food—they’re a legacy.
  • Tea Term Tuesday: Steep
    Steeping is the key to unlocking the rich flavors and aromas hidden within tea leaves, but did you know there’s more to it than just soaking leaves in hot water? From the origins of the word steep to the nuances that differentiate it from brewing, this guide explores the art of steeping, covering optimal temperatures, steeping techniques, and even traditional methods like Gongfu and Grandpa style. Whether you prefer bold black tea, delicate white tea, or a refreshing cold steep, mastering your steeping process can transform your tea experience. Ready to elevate your cup? Let’s dive in!
  • Tea Term Tuesday: Tea Grading
    Hey there, tea lovers! Ever wondered what’s up with those mysterious tea grades like FTGFOP or BOP? Don’t worry—we’ve got you covered. Tea grading is all about sorting leaves by size, shape, and quality. Spoiler alert: it has nothing to do with flavor but can still tell you a lot about your brew.Back in the 19th century, British merchants came up with the Orange Pekoe (OP) grading system to keep things consistent as they shipped tea worldwide. Think of it as a quality control checklist for tea leaves. Today, grades like “Golden Flowery Orange Pekoe” (GFOP) or “Broken Orange Pekoe” (BOP) help tea enthusiasts decode what’s in their cup, whether it’s a smooth, whole-leaf luxury or a bold, quick-brewing powerhouse.So next time you see FTGFOP on a label, you’ll know it’s not just alphabet soup—it’s tea royalty. Cheers to steeping smarter!
