We. Love. Our. Tea.

We drink our teas all the time (not exaggerating) and are constantly experimenting with new blends and mixes. A few years ago we tried to get 'into' matcha, and really struggled to like it. The price tag and variable quality also got our attention, not in a good way. 

We started traveling to hunt for great teas that would be easy to like, and voila, Matcha Alternatives was born!
