One Cup of Tea at A Time

About me

Created by a Tea Sommelier

We believe in being unapologetic - some might even say β€œuppity” - about our love of tea, interest in cultural exploration, and desire to purchase tea from brands that reflect our values. The UppiTea Experience is a platform to encourage a healthy sense of an elevated self through the art of tea.

  • Do you know how your tea got from the bush to your cup? Participate in a tea tasting or workshop to learn about the different types of tea and the countries that produce them.

  • Tea is intimately linked with art, culture, mindfulness, and even activism. Engage directly with a tea professional to understand how this ancient elixir can broaden your perspectives and experiences.

  • Discover ways to become a more conscientious tea consumer and browse our partnerships and/or curated lists of responsible tea brands.  

Join this four-part tea education series in collaboration with Cuples Tea House, at its new tea tasting room!

Beyond the Tea Leaves is more than a classβ€”it’s a community experience. Together, we’ll explore the roots of tea, its global traditions, and the mindful art of brewing. Each session combines hands-on learning, expert guidance, and meaningful conversation, fostering a space where curiosity and connection flourish.

Participants will deepen their understanding of tea’s history, varieties, and preparation techniques while discovering how tea weaves into wellness, culture, and daily ritual. Whether you’re a casual sipper or a passionate connoisseur, this series will elevate your tea journey and inspire continued exploration beyond the classroom.
