I’m a real tea lover. I’ve always found joy in buying special teas, presenting them nicely in beautiful ceramic cups and glasses. To me tea stands for a warm feeling, a moment to unwind, gather my thoughts. Over the years I have inspired a lot of my friends to start drinking tea with intention. Gifting special teas to friends and family, is my way of saying I appreciate you. When you come to my house you’re always offered a beautiful brew presented with care. I know who I am, and I know what I can bring to the table. How different is this in most households and restaurants? I love to order tea when I’m out for dinner, but let's be honest, how many times have you been served standard teabags with an ugly tea glass? Most tea experiences are an afterthought: uninspired, generic, and aesthetically disconnected from the refined dining or lifestyle experience tea can offer YOU. With Nota I want to change this: there is so much more to taste and share about tea. How can tea become part of your daily story? Can we find a tea that could potentially replace coffee, or cravings? Can tea become part of a celebration or special gathering and how can we pair tea with food? I wanted to look at what we need and from there I sat down with tea experts to make the right choices. The result? Not a big tea collection - we don’t want to overwhelm you. We just want to take you by the hand. We start with five delicious teas - we’ve done the selection so you can sit back and enjoy your own little moment, alone or gathered around. 

Now we only need to find a better word for cheers…

I say

Raise!
