Meet the Makers: Where Our Tea Gets Its Soul
Here’s the thing: tea isn’t just tea at Branch & Vines. It’s a slow sip in the middle of a busy day. A cozy companion on a rainy morning. A moment to breathe, reset, and reconnect—with yourself, with others, with joy.
Every jar of our artisan tea blends is packed with bold flavor, handcrafted intention, and just enough magic to make you say, “Yep—this is my new favorite.” Want to know where that soul comes from? Let’s spill the tea.
Meet the Makers: Audrey & Alex
Branch and Vines has partnered with Audrey & Alex for years. Why?
#1 - With over 25 years of combined tea blending experience, Audrey and Alex are true artists of the steep. They're always on the hunt for rare ingredients and unexpected flavors, sourcing from producers who grow unique cultivars using organic and biodynamic practices.
#2 - Our customers love the teas! It doesn’t matter if we believe in a company; if our customers do not vote with a purchase, it doesn’t stay on our shelf.
Every tea they craft honors time-honored traditions, but with a twist that makes it unmistakably ours. Thoughtful, bold, and a little bit magical—just the way we like it.
The Philosophy Behind Every Pour
From sunny Mediterranean groves to our Idaho kitchen, everything we do at Branch & Vines starts with one idea: flavor should feel like a hug. Whether we’re swirling up balsamic or steeping rose petals into your next favorite blend, we believe in slowing down, savoring more, and infusing joy into the little moments.
Our teas are inspired by ancient rituals but built for right-now comfort—crafted with heart, sourced with care, and blended with soul.
What Makes Our Tea Different?
Let’s spill the tea… There are plenty of teas out there, but ours? It hits different—because it’s steeped in intention.
Every small batch is blended with purpose by passionate makers who care about more than just taste. We’re talking hand-selected herbs, vibrant ingredients, and a whole lot of love. Because when you brew one of our blends, you’re not just making a cup of tea—you’re making a moment.
Need a calm reset? A creative jolt? Or maybe a guilt-free indulgence in the middle of your chaos? We’ve got a blend that speaks your love language.
So go ahead. Sip slow, breathe deep, and let your tea time do a little heavy lifting for your soul.
Because here, every cup tells a story—and we’re pretty sure you’re gonna want to be part of it.

The Heart Behind the Blends
It started with one bottle of olive oil and a dream between Felecia and “The Hubs,” Clark. (Hey, every flavor journey needs a co-pilot, right?) From weekend markets to a store full of soul, their mission’s always been the same: bring joy to your table—and now, your teacup.
