One of the most magical parts of owning a small shop is that almost every product on our shelves has a story to tell. So, how did Steep Mountain Tea make its way all the way from Bozeman, Montana, to our little corner of Whidbey Island?
It all started with a friendship! The former owners of the company moved to the island, and their daughter quickly became fast friends with our oldest. When they casually mentioned they owned a tea company, I simply had to try it.
We brought a few blends into the shop, and the response was incredible. Suddenly, we had folks walking in and saying, "OMG, you carry Evening in Missoula?! That’s my favorite!" It turns out we have quite a few Montana lovers living right here on Whidbey, and we were officially hooked.
While our friends have since stepped away from the business, we were thrilled to meet Scott, the new owner, and we absolutely love the care he is putting into continuing their rich legacy.
We just received a massive delivery, meaning we are fully stocked with all your go-to favorites, plus a few brand-new blends we can't wait for you to explore. Stop in this week and grab a bag—we promise every sip is steeped in good stories! 🫖🏔️
