Culinary Teas

Culinary Teas is a small family-owned company that specializes in tea and accessories. We believe in gourmet teas for every taste.

We operate a small retail location in the downtown area in the village of Downers Grove, IL and fulfill all orders from that location. Our address is 5143 Mochel Drive. Since we are located in the Midwest it provides rapid delivery to most places in the U.S.

Top Quality Teas

All our teas are taste-tested or “cupped” regularly to make sure we always offer only top quality teas. A tea’s quality can fluctuate quite a bit from year to year and sometimes just from flush to flush depending on weather and the estates’ management. It is very important to taste regularly. Some companies make much ado about the freshness of their teas but their improper storage or premature packaging of their tea makes young tea old before its time.

Freshness

We have a freshness method we employ to make sure the tea you receive is the freshest available. We make sure that our tea gets very little oxygen to keep it safe from premature aging and scent contamination. Your tea is flash-packed after you order it so it does not spend unnecessary time sitting on a shelf. Our packaging is ideal for keeping your tea fresh while you use it at home.
