Loose Leaf
Single-estate teas weighed, sealed and dated to order — no stale tins, no mystery blends.
Rare Plants
Specimen-grade exotics — variegated aroids, quarantined and cared for in-house.
Wine by the Glass
Virginia wines poured after five — VA ABC licensed, no liquor, vintners we know by name.
Boards & Bites
Charcuterie and cheese plates to pair with your pour or your tasting — snacks, not a restaurant.
The Tea Wall
The day's exact science.
Forty-plus single-estate lots behind glass, each with an origin, a harvest date, and a tasting note. You point, we weigh, we seal — the leaf leaves as fresh as it arrived.
-
40+ single-estate lots
Oolongs, senchas, hojicha, smoked blacks, chai blends — kept airtight and rotated by season.
-
Weighed to order
Nitrogen-flushed, dated, sealed at the counter. What you buy is what the estate sent.
-
The tasting bar
Brew flights by the cup, no subscription, no ceremony required — just ask for a pour.
The Greenhouse Corner
The rarest shelf in town.
Alongside the tea sits a living collection — variegated aroids, uncommon philodendrons, specimen-grade exotics that landed nowhere else. Every plant is quarantined, inspected, and sold with honest care instructions.
-
Rare & variegated
Thai Constellation, Pink Princess, dragon-scale Alocasia — when they land, they land in small numbers.
-
Specimen-grade condition
Quarantined on arrival, grown on, and only sold when a plant is stable and thriving.
-
A care card with every pot
Light, water, humidity, and honest expectations — no guessing, no casualties.

Charcuterie boards
Cured meats and local cheeses sliced to order — a board for two, or a board for the table.
-
Cheese plates
Three or five cheeses with honey, fruit, and crackers — matched to the tea or wine in front of you.
-
Snacks with retail
Small bites while you taste, browse, and shop — no kitchen, no full menu, just good pairings.
