Tea Chosen Just for You
A personal consultation that creates a collection reflecting your unique preferences and lifestyle
Return HomeWhat This Selection Offers
In forty-five minutes, we'll create a personalized tea collection that genuinely reflects your tastes and interests. You'll leave with varieties chosen specifically for you, along with clear guidance on how to prepare each one. No more guessing at what might work or feeling disappointed by random choices.
This service removes the overwhelm that often comes with selecting tea. Instead of facing endless options alone, you'll have someone who listens carefully to your preferences and translates them into specific recommendations. The varieties you receive will feel like natural extensions of what you already enjoy.
Beyond the immediate selection, you'll gain an understanding of what to look for in future explorations. Many people find that this session clarifies their palate in ways that make all subsequent tea choices easier and more satisfying. You'll develop confidence in your own judgment rather than relying solely on external advice.
When Choosing Feels Difficult
You've stood in front of tea displays, reading descriptions that all sound appealing yet somehow fail to help you decide. The language feels vague—words like "smooth" or "floral" don't tell you whether you'll actually enjoy the tea. You wish someone could simply point you toward what would work rather than leaving you to navigate it alone.
Perhaps you've purchased teas based on recommendations or reviews, only to find they don't suit your taste. What delights others leaves you indifferent, and you begin to wonder if you're missing something or if your palate is somehow wrong. The accumulation of unused teas in your cupboard feels wasteful and discouraging.
What you really need is a conversation with someone who can translate your existing preferences into tea selections. You want to describe what you enjoy in other beverages or foods and have that information guide meaningful recommendations. You're seeking understanding rather than trial and error, and a way forward that feels personalized rather than generic.
How We Create Your Collection
We begin by asking about your current relationship with tea and what you enjoy in beverages generally. If you prefer coffee, we explore what characteristics appeal to you—boldness, smoothness, complexity. If you enjoy herbal infusions, we discuss which flavors resonate most strongly. These conversations reveal patterns that guide our recommendations.
As we talk, we might have you smell or taste small samples to calibrate our understanding. This isn't a test—it simply helps us recognize what your palate gravitates toward naturally. Some people discover they enjoy characteristics they didn't know they were seeking, while others confirm suspicions about their preferences.
From this conversation emerges a curated selection of three to five varieties chosen specifically for you. Each comes with detailed notes about preparation, origin, and what makes it particularly suited to your tastes. We explain not just what you're receiving, but why we've chosen it and how it connects to what you told us about your preferences.
Your Consultation Experience
When you arrive, we'll settle into a comfortable space where conversation flows easily. There's no pressure to use technical terms or demonstrate knowledge—we're simply interested in understanding what appeals to you. Many people find this process surprisingly enjoyable, as it's rare to have someone focus entirely on your specific preferences.
Throughout the session, you'll feel heard rather than directed. We ask questions that help us understand not just what you like, but how you live. Do you prefer quiet mornings or need something to energize you? Are you drawn to ritual or do you favor efficiency? These details shape recommendations that fit naturally into your existing rhythms.
As we finalize your selection, we'll prepare samples of one or two varieties so you can experience them properly brewed. This helps confirm we're on the right track and allows you to ask questions about preparation. You'll see exactly how we recommend steeping each tea and understand why certain techniques matter more for some varieties than others.
You'll leave with your personalized collection packaged thoughtfully, along with written guidance for each variety. These notes include preparation instructions, tasting observations, and suggestions for what time of day each tea might serve you best. We also welcome follow-up questions as you explore your selections at home.

This investment covers the time we spend understanding your preferences, the expertise we apply to translating those preferences into selections, and the personalized guidance you receive. It also includes the tea itself—you'll leave with a curated collection worth more than the consultation fee alone.
More significantly, this session often saves people considerable money over time. Rather than purchasing multiple varieties that don't suit them, they develop clarity about what works. The confidence gained from understanding your own palate prevents future disappointments and wasted purchases.

Why Personalization Makes a Difference
Our approach recognizes that tea preferences are deeply personal and often connected to experiences beyond tea itself. Someone who enjoys aged whiskey might appreciate oxidized oolongs. A person who gravitates toward citrus flavors could discover joy in certain white teas. These connections aren't obvious until someone helps you see them.
We've worked with hundreds of people to create personalized selections, and we've observed consistent patterns. When recommendations align genuinely with someone's palate, they begin exploring tea with enthusiasm rather than hesitation. The practice becomes something they look forward to rather than a puzzle they're trying to solve.
Most people report that the teas selected for them become daily favorites rather than occasional experiments. They describe feeling understood in a way that's rare when shopping independently. This isn't about finding objectively superior teas—it's about finding the ones that resonate with you specifically.
What Often Happens Next
Within the first week, most people discover that having teas specifically chosen for them changes how they approach their tea time. There's less second-guessing about preparation and more genuine enjoyment of the experience.
As they work through their personalized collection, many develop an intuitive sense of what they're drawn to. Future explorations feel easier because they understand their own preferences more clearly. Some return for additional consultations as their palate evolves or their interests shift.
The written notes we provide often become a reference point for months afterward. People mention using them not just for the specific teas we selected, but as a guide for understanding other varieties they encounter independently.
Our Promise to You
If you find that the teas we've selected don't resonate with you, we want to know. We'll work with you to understand what missed the mark and adjust our recommendations accordingly. Your satisfaction matters more to us than being right about our initial assessment.
This isn't about perfection on the first attempt—it's about creating a relationship where we continue learning about your preferences. Some people's palates are immediately clear, while others reveal themselves more gradually. We're committed to the process of understanding rather than claiming infallibility.
Before scheduling your consultation, we encourage you to reach out with any questions or uncertainties. Sometimes a brief conversation helps clarify whether this service addresses what you're seeking. We'd rather have that discussion upfront than have you feel uncertain after the fact.
Starting Your Personalized Journey
To begin, simply reach out through our contact form. Share whatever information feels relevant about your current tea experience and what you're hoping to discover. We'll respond within one business day to discuss timing and answer any questions you might have.
When you arrive for your consultation, come as you are. There's no preparation needed—we'll guide the conversation naturally. Some people find it helpful to think beforehand about beverages they enjoy, but even that isn't necessary. We'll draw out the information we need through gentle questioning.
After your session, you'll have everything you need to begin exploring your personalized collection. We remain available for questions or guidance as you work through each variety. Many people reach out to share their experiences or seek clarification, and we always welcome those ongoing conversations.
