WHO

Husband and wife Eric and Lynnette Dodson’s first dates involved drinking tea. They founded Cuples Tea with the desire to educate the Black community on the benefits of tea in contrast with sugary beverages. Cuples currently partner with local venues to offer an “urban tea experience” that includes education, music, art, literature, and good vibes in a socially connected atmosphere. You can check out the Cuples website for virtual tastings, and if you’re ever in the Baltimore area, they will be opening their first retail shop soon! 

WHY

When we tasted Cuples’ Autumn Leaves green tea for the first time, we were immediately won over by the intoxicating aroma that made the entire house smell delicious. This unique blend contains apple pieces, rose hips, and natural creme brulee flavor that creates an experience that is difficult to put into words—you just have to try it for yourself! And for our non-caffeinated tea drinkers, you’ll find Blueberry Passion Herbal in our box. While the blueberry scent may be the first thing you notice, this fruit tea is balanced by hibiscus , elderberry and rosehip, making it the perfect summer brew to sip hot or cold while reading a book or socializing with friends.
