About Us
Teas With Meaning
Founded in Oakland in 2018, Teas With Meaning creates handcrafted tea and experiences rooted in intention, creativity, community, and connection.
Whether you are discovering a blend for your own cup, creating tea alongside us, gathering around one of our tea bars, bringing a tea experience into your workplace or celebration, or exploring the connection between tea, culture, and travel, Teas With Meaning invites you to experience tea beyond simply drinking it.
Magic is our main ingredient.
You experience that magic in the flavors you discover, the blend you create, the conversations shared around a tea bar, the places tea can take you, and the moments that give you an opportunity to slow down, connect, and pour something back into your own cup.
There is more than one way to experience Teas With Meaning.
Beyond the cup, you can discover tea through products, collaborations, travel, and experiences that bring flavor, culture, creativity, and community together. Over the years, that has included everything from ceramic mugs, candles, tea infused chocolates, and curated gift boxes to limited edition collaborations with Black owned and women owned businesses and artisans.
Travel takes that experience even further. The places we visit introduce us to new ingredients, traditions, people, and ways of experiencing tea. We bring those discoveries home through the blends we create, the stories and flavors we share, and experiences that give you an opportunity to explore the world through tea.
However you enter the world of Teas With Meaning, there is always something new to sip, discover, share, or experience.

Experience Teas With Meaning
There is more than one way to experience Teas With Meaning, and each one is designed to give you and your people something to participate in, enjoy, and remember.
Gather around a tea bar where guests can sip and explore. Get hands on with herbs and create your own custom blends to take home. Bring an interactive tea experience into your workplace, retreat, conference, classroom, celebration, or community. Or work with us to create a signature tea that becomes part of your event, brand, gifting, or special moment.
When you book Teas With Meaning, you are not simply adding tea to the room. You are giving people an opportunity to taste, create, connect, learn, and experience something together.
