Tea Ami
I wish to become your sincere guide into the enticing world of tea and food pairings, where history, tradition, and craftsmanship meet modern creativity. Tea is not just a drink—it’s a story in every cup, and I’m here to help you weave it into your daily life. Great tea should appreciated, some even obsessed with, but should also be approachable.

Das Güd Coffee
Roasting was always something I wanted to do, but I never thought I'd be able to until I actually owned a shop. But somehow God blessed me again even when I thought things were just going downhill. And after 8 years of up and down in the coffee industry thinking that I would never make a career out of it, Here I am. Sourcing the green coffee, roasting it to my desired profile, creating my own espresso parameters, brewing it the way I like it.

LU'UM
LU'UM Coffee Roasters, tucked away in the city of Lomita, is focused on sourcing unique, single-origin coffees from around the world, each with its own distinct flavor profiles. The name "LU'UM" comes from the Mayan language of the Yucatan peninsula and means "land" or "soil." This name reflects our mission: to explore the various regions where passionate individuals cultivate coffee, aiming to showcase their unique compounds and flavor notes. After years of personally roasting coffee for my own enjoyment, our goal is to share the unique coffee cultivated from this land we call Earth, allowing people to discover the enjoyment we've found. Cheers!​

High-mountain tea gardens
Then fate introduced to the world of hand-picked, small batch crafted teas – and I was utterly captivated. Seduced by their complex flavors, breathtaking tea mountains, and dedicated growers, pickers, and masters behind every leaf.
Uganadan, Brazilian and
Columbian Coffee
We would like to showcase our Uganda Sipi Falls, which is an anaerobic natural that I am roasting fairly light which has beautiful notes of chocolate and strawberry from the smell to the taste.
Our signature dark roast is a wonderful blend of Colombia and Brazil which is a wonderful dark chocolate easy drinking coffee.
Indonesia Coffee
We'd like to feature our Golden Bean Award-Winning House Blend, Indonesia Single Origin and a rare coffee (these rotate seasonally). Our brand was founded by an artist with the goal of infusing the same level of craft and attention to detail into coffee as he does into his creative pursuits.
Costa Rica, Gesha, Anaerobic Coffee
Our goal is to present coffee as the wonderfully tricky little cherry that it is. An ingriedent, a harvest, a crop. Everything we do from packaging to branding to marketing is simple. We don’t want to distract you from the coffee in your mug, or the hardworking people who grew it. Our coffee is traceable, ethically sourced, high quality and very natural.
