SHARING THE BEAUTY OF TEA
At Ease Tea Company is more than just a tea company; it is a testament to resilience, healing, and community. Founded in 2023 by U.S. Army Veteran Kyle Hart and his loving family, this Veteran-owned Minnesota business is on a mission to serve the finest teas and create a meaningful connection with veterans and their supporters. After his deployment to Iraq, Kyle faced emotional struggles and difficulties upon returning to civilian life. Seeking healthier alternatives to cope, he discovered the power of tea as a source of comfort and healing for himself and his relationships. Inspired by his own journey, Kyle is dedicated to sharing his passion for tea with the world, from local soccer moms and dads to Army Rangers and Special Forces Operators. With every sip, At Ease Tea Company invites individuals to embark on a journey of tranquility, reminding us that tea holds a beautiful story yet to be fully appreciated in the United States.
Tea possesses a remarkable ability to offer solace, relaxation, and social connection, making it a valuable ally for veterans navigating the challenges of stress and anxiety. Its potential extends beyond personal well-being, as tea also fosters a sense of togetherness and belonging. Whether enjoyed in solitude or shared with others, a cup of tea brings people closer, nurturing moments of serenity in a bustling world. As the Twin Cities premier veteran-owned tea importer, wholesaler, retailer, and tea destination, they are dedicated to sourcing the finest teas from around the world and telling the captivating stories behind each tea leaf. With an unwavering commitment to quality and deep respect for those who have served, At Ease Tea Company stands as a beacon of hope, fostering a supportive community where veterans and their allies can find solace, healing, and inspiration, one cup at a time.
“Tea has been critical in my journey to healing myself and my relationships with loved ones. I think tea is fascinating. It’s beautiful and there’s so much lore around each variety. The same plant grown in different parts of the world produces wildly different flavors. Throw in different finishing methods, and generational families of tea masters putting their special touch on the final product, and you have something really really special.”
