About Us

It all started in my massage studio here in beautiful Long Island, NY.  At the time, the space I was practicing out of had a separate room for patients to relax in after their massage.  It was nicely appointed, complete with a chaise lounge, soothing music and, perhaps most importantly, a tea bar.

The tea at first was nothing special, mostly standard issue tea bags that could be found in any supermarket.  However, I was pleasantly surprised to discover how many of my patients had a love of tea.  Soon, they were bringing teas in for me to try and, likewise I would look for higher quality teas, with which to impress them.

These early experiences at that little tea bar ignited a journey for me that culminated with the development of my own line of high quality loose leaf teas. 

My teas needed to fill a particular set of criteria.  First, they needed to be of high quality. Secondly, the teas must be ethically sourced.  Third, where possibly I wanted teas that were either certified organic or high mountain grown.  This would ensure the healthiest teas possible free from chemicals and pollutants that can plague teas of lesser quality.  Fourth, the blends had to taste so good that no additives or sugar would be required to enjoy them.  Finally, the teas had to be healthy for my patients.  Aside from the antioxidants that quality teas contain, the other ingredients in my teas would have their own health benefits.  No junk or filler would be used. I would accept nothing less for my patients or my customers.

Here, you will find a variety of the absolute best teas from all over the world.  These are the same delicious, high quality teas that can be found at Out Of This World Massage Therapy studio, now available for you to enjoy in your home.

Our teas are packaged in stainless steel tins which are made in the USA. These  prevent light, moisture and oxygen from decreasing the shelf life of the tea. Teas stored this way will remain fresh for up to two years.

We try to minimize our ecological footprint by using recyclable or compostable packaging and shipping supplies. 

The world of tea can sometimes be a bit complex and intimidating.  We've decided to take a different approach.  One that shows off the fun and interesting side of tea.  We want to make the world of higher end teas more accessible to people by being informative without being overwhelming.  We want you to enjoy the world of tea the same way we do. 

Thank you for visiting.  Take a look around and I hope you'll give our teas a try.  I know you will be impressed.  

Have an "Out Of This World " Day!
