Self-care isn’t neutral. And as a Black business owner, I don’t get to pretend it is. The wellness industry loves to sell calm without naming who gets excluded. Here’s why Moody Teas refuses to stay neutral — and what community care actually looks like.
Collaboration Is How We Steep Change
Tea tastes better when we make it together. At Moody Teas, collaboration is how we steep real change—keeping quality tea accessible, celebrating LGBTQ+ joy, and putting people over profit. That’s why we’re partnering with the incomparable Miss Peppermint. We’re saving the product details for launch day (Nov 1), but here’s the heart of it: this collab amplifies queer artistry and gives back, with a portion of proceeds supporting trans rights organizations. If you believe tea should warm more than hands—and build community while it does—you’re in the right place. Subscribe for early access as we count down.
What’s New This New Year?
In early 2023, we set ambitious goals to expand our reach, participate in more farmers' markets, and educate people about the benefits of tea.

With over 2,500 satisfied customers and significant growth in farmers' markets, Moody Teas not only achieved its objectives but also surpassed expectations. Let's dive into the accomplishments, fun facts, and what's next for Moody Teas in 2024.
