Slip Slow, With Meaning

Teas With Meaning is committed to providing organic loose leaf tea blends and authentic tea experiences. Developed in the heart of Oakland.

Magic Is Our Main Ingredient

At Teas With Meaning, tea is more than what is in your cup. It is how we gather, how we create, how we connect, and how we make space for ourselves and one another.

Our organic loose leaf blends are intentionally handcrafted, but the magic has never stopped at the blend. We bring tea to life through experiences, custom creations, travel, conversation, community, and collaboration, always finding new ways to invite you into tea time.

Whether you are here to find your next favorite blend, create something of your own, gather around a tea bar, or experience tea in a new way, there is a place for you here.

Come see what we mean when we say magic is our main ingredient.

Sip the World, With Meaning

Since 2018, Teas With Meaning has traveled the world with curiosity, intention, and a love for discovering how ingredients, culture, place, and tea connect.

Those journeys have inspired our blends, introduced us to ingredients and traditions, and eventually became our Tea Travel Bags, with experiences inspired by Japan, Kenya, and Europe.

The bags may be taking a pause, but the journey isn't. We're exploring new ways to bring the places we visit, the stories we gather, and the inspiration we bring home into the Teas With Meaning experience.

CapaciTea

Tea has always created space for reflection. CapaciTea takes that invitation deeper.

Through the book, tea, conversations, and intentional experiences, CapaciTea invites us to consider what we are carrying, what is taking up space, and what we have capacity for now.

Best tea hands down!

"Best tea hands down! So flavorful and rich. I can't decide if I like it cold or hot, guess it just depends on the weather. My favorite thing to do is share a cup or two with a friend, and watch their reaction. They delightfully ask where I got the tea just about every time. I love it!"

Pen Harshaw

High quality ingredients & flavorful combos

"I am OBSESSED with these teas. Communi-tea is one of my favorites. Have you ever had a sip of something and felt like you were sipping on actual magic? Because that’s what my experience always is with TWM. High quality ingredients and flavorful combinations"

Alysha English

They have the tea thing figured out masterfully!

"Teas with Meaning hands down is THE best loose leaf tea experience I have had. Made with love and tons of magic, the flavors lightly coat your palate with a powerful yet not overbearing tea experience. They have the tea thing figured out masterfully!"

Fern Stroud

I don't think I'll ever buy teas from anywhere else...

"Best teas you will ever taste is an understatement. I don't think I'll ever buy teas from anywhere else because they are delicious, organic, and so flavorful you don't need to add anything to enhance or sweeten the taste. I've shared them with my family and they love TWM too!"
