Our Story

Terrible Tea isn’t here to change your life. It’s here to tell you the truth: Tea doesn’t have to be life-altering to be good. In fact, it can be downright terrible—and still totally worth sipping.

We don’t promise you calm, wellness, or enlightenment.

You’re here because you’re tired of the same old marketing nonsense, the over-the-top health claims, and the endless promises of “zen” and “purity.” We get it. You just want a damn good drink with a healthy serving of irreverence.

We offer you the simple satisfaction of drinking something that tastes better than you expected. Maybe it’ll help you chill out for a minute, but honestly, it’s mostly for people who want a cup of tea that doesn’t take itself too seriously.

What We Believe:

Tea is Overhyped: It’s just leaves and hot water. But when you make it Terrible Tea, it’s also your new best friend. Comfort is an Illusion: Sure, tea can be warm and cozy, but it’s also probably just a temporary escape from your life of questionable decisions. Life Doesn’t Always Need to Be Perfect: Neither do your tea blends. So why do we insist on making it “perfect”? At Terrible Tea, we embrace imperfection, and we think you should, too. Pretentiousness is Out, Humor is In: You don’t need a $50 teapot or a 7-step ritual to enjoy a cup. Just steep it, sip it, and deal with it. We’ll be here for the fun, not the fuss.

What You Can Expect from Us:

Honesty: We’ll tell you our tea is “terrible,” but you’ll keep drinking it anyway. Sass: Our teas come with bold flavors and bold opinions. If you don’t like it, well, maybe you should try coffee. Sarcasm: Our product descriptions are less about ingredients and more about attitude.Stay Woke Matcha? Sure. It’s just like coffee, except it tastes better and won’t judge you for needing a second cup.” Humility: Our teas don’t claim to be “magical.” But they’ll make you feel pretty damn good about yourself while you sip.

Our Promise (Or, You Know, Don’t Promise):

You’ll never find the word “pure” on our labels. We don’t even know what that means. Instead, we offer you honest, real tea that’s mostly delicious, definitely sarcastic, and always better than you expected.


We won’t fix your problems, but we’ll make you forget about them for 5 minutes. And if that’s not a win, we don’t know what is.

So, drink up, people. Your “terrible” new addiction awaits.

Terrible Tea—it's the worst. And it’s absolutely perfect.
