TeBella Tea is a loose leaf tea retailer that was founded in 2010 by Abigail StClair. We currently have four locations in the Tampa Bay area and Sarasota: our original shop on Davis Islands, TeBella at Oxford Exchange, TeBella at Station House St. Pete, and our newest Sarasota location, located inside The Mall at University Town Center. We also provide tea to over 130 restaurants and cafes in the southeast through our wholesale tea program.

We’ve built our brand on offering a thoughtfully sourced loose tea collection with a heaping helping of tea education—we love sharing our passion for tea with our customers. We are known for our friendly, knowledgeable employees and serving an exquisite cup of tea. We also work directly with tea gardens and estates that use sustainable, fair-trade practices. In the last three years, Abigail has visited tea gardens in India, Japan, Sri Lanka, and China to foster those partnerships. As part of our commitment to sustainability, we also donate our used tea leaves (for composting) to local community gardens, including a non-profit that operates teaching gardens at area public schools.

At TeBella Tea, we genuinely love what we do. Our goal is to show people that making loose leaf tea is easy and the ritual is half the fun. We strive to make tea accessible for anyone who is interested in learning more about loose leaf tea.
