Welcome to The World’s Smallest Tea Shoppe!

We are honored and grateful for the opportunity to share the beautiful space and wonderful community with our fine friends at Valise to bring together two of our great passions – art and tea.

In our increasingly hectic and splintered world, we find it ever more important to slow down, simply be and ponder. Sometimes we are called to do so on our own, at other times we crave community. Both art and tea are marvelously communal while remaining deeply personal and it is our sincere hope you find each will enhance the other.

We are delighted to share selections from Chesser Roe’s new collections of remarkable teas. Slated to launch in early 2019, we wanted to give you a little taste of what we’ve been up to. We welcome your thoughts and feedback and we hope to see you soon.

Thank you for coming by and thank you once again to our friends at Valise.

Yours most sincerely,

Adrain, Mike, Susan, Maria, Randy & Abigail

About Chesser Roe

Founded in 2018 by a family of five friends with a passion for tea, Chesser Roe is comprised of an herbalist and tea shop owner with 15-plus years of experience in sourcing and custom blending; a seasoned sales director with a passion for outstanding service in hospitality; a proprietor, packaging and brand designer of a boutique chocolate shop who is also a fine arts photographer and member of Valise; and an entrepreneur with over 20 years' experience in creating and managing multiple businesses.

We have come together to create a company that combines all our passions – tea, art, music, books and community. We strive to provide a unique experience and a respite from the rush of the every day.

As a social purpose corporation, our mission goes beyond responsible sourcing, buying and providing the finest tea. To us, this should be a given.

We believe in providing truly remarkable service and creating long term relationships with our suppliers and customers alike. We believe in fairness and reciprocity. We place people ahead of profits. We believe in a safe and supportive workplace and nurturing others to their full potential. We believe work can be play. We believe in the little guy. We believe in building and supporting communities. And we believe that art, in all its forms, is a necessary part of this thing called life.
