Home / Our Tea
The Tea CounterCoffee made our name, but tea has shared the counter since the beginning. Loose leaf weighed by hand, boxed favorites, and gentle decafs.
Nicholas Coffee & Tea Co. carries loose leaf teas, boxed teas, and decaffeinated teas — classics like English Breakfast and Earl Grey alongside herbal and seasonal selections, available in-store and from the online shop.
A proper tea counter is a quiet kind of luxury: rows of tins, a scale, and somebody who knows what's in every one of them. Ours has been part of the shop since the early days — and the ritual hasn't changed.
