Small-batch · sourced direct · brewed to order

Picked with care. Poured by hand.

Every cup at Leaf & Loom starts with whole leaves. We work directly with small growers, roast in small batches, and brew every order in front of you — leaf, water, time. Nothing powdered, nothing pre-mixed.

Our story

Rooted in the leaf, not the syrup.

  • ShortcutsNone — ever

Leaf & Loom Tea Co. started with a simple idea: tea deserves the same care as good coffee. We buy whole leaves from growers we know by name, and never touch a concentrate or a powder mix.

Sourcing

Grown slow, picked by hand

Whole leaves, hand-picked and never rushed. When a harvest sells out, we wait for the next one rather than cut it with anything else.

The room

A counter, not a queue

Come in and we'll steep your order in front of you — leaf, water, time, nothing rushed.

Brewing

How we pour

01

Warm the pot

Boiling water in, straight back out. Cold clay steals the heat from the first infusion.

02

Rinse the leaf

Five seconds, then poured away. The leaf unrolls and wakes up before it is asked to give anything.

03

First infusion

Short and hot, timed to the second. This is the cup that tells you what the harvest did that year.

04

Again, and again

The same leaf, a few seconds longer each time. A good oolong will give six cups before it tires.
