About Us

At Apothecary Teas we're passionate about great quality loose leaf teas because, to us, tea isn't just a drink. It's a whole experience. It's watching the color ribbon through hot water as your tea steeps. It's that first smell that wafts up in steaming curls from your cup. It's warming your hands on the sides of your favorite mug. It's that first tentative sip that slides down, warming you from the inside out.

It's this passion for experience that drives us to deliver a variety of flavors and blends by carefully selecting teas, inclusions, and all-natural flavorings to find the right balance. All of our teas are carefully hand-blended and packaged to ensure great quality. So, whether it's a cup of fine 1st Flush Darjeeling black tea or our sweet Queen of Hearts blend you can trust that you're about to enjoy a tasty cup of tea from Apothecary Teas.

Our Story

Apothecary Teas was started in 2017 by husband and wife team, Brian and Crystal Puotinen. That's us, in the picture with our new son, Brian (not JR. Don't mind his expression, he seems to be camera shy, like his Mom). We started the company as a hobby, that grew into something we loved doing, whether it's travelling to Steampunk shows and craft markets, or learning new skills like website building, it's truly been an adventure for us, and something that we love to share with anyone who likes tea as much as we do.
