tea's story
Tea is the wine of the East: an ancient art filled with mythology and legend that
persists today. It is central to the cultures, health & hospitality of many nations.
All tea hails from a single plant, Camellia Sinensis. When the leaves and buds
are picked, they begin a journey to become one of many styles of tea. Enzymes
in the tea leaf change its character (oxidation) until it is dried or heat is applied
and deactivates them (firing). Each estate guides this process to make the leaf
into white, green, oolong, black, or pu-erh.
White: air dried and sometimes fired, slight oxidation
Green: fired immediately to prevent oxidation
Oolong: partially oxidized, oolong is a large varying category
Black (red): allowed to fully oxidize before firing
Pu-erh (dark): begins as unfinished green tea, ferments over time
Like wine, the subtleties of tea are closely aligned with the earth in which
they were grown (terrior). This makes tea an international phenomenon.
Tea contains the well-known stimulant, caffeine. It also contains a lesser
known, but entirely unique compound called Theanine. Theanine balances out
the energy from caffeine with focus, a restful calm and precision in the midst of
energy. It is often said to offset the “jittery” effects caffeine content that other
beverages sometimes cause.
Tisanes (herbal teas) do not contain Camellia Sinensis, but are a blend of other
botanicals also steeped in water. Most tisanes are naturally caffeine-free,
creating a perfect calming nightcap.
our story
We are an innovative Atlanta-based tea company founded in Asia's rich tea
tradition and inspired by the American cocktail and European cafes and spirits.
Loose-leaf teas and herbal infusions are expertly blended to a subtle and
nuanced perfection that rivals wine and craft beers.
We take great pleasure in deconstruction and building of flavor profiles,
banishing added “flavors” in favor of what inspired flavors in the first place:
botanicals themselves discovered by centuries of ancestors foraging the earth.
In a sense, we are bringing flavor back to its roots.
At the heart of K-teas is the marriage of Katie and Dustin Watts. They
discovered a mutual love of tea on their first date in Washington, D.C., were
inspired by the spice markets of Istanbul on their honeymoon, and started KTeas in Atlanta in their first year of marriage.
K-Teas originally grew through selling at local Atlanta artist & farmer’s markets,
and festivals,. In October of 2014, we ran a successful Kickstarter crowdfunding
campaign to grow into a more national brand, delivering over 1,000 units of
product in a month to almost 200 people around the United States. Since then
we’ve entered larger markets and wholesaling.
Every day we learn and gain more respect for where tea has traveled over the
centuries. We are proud to now be a part of the story of tea, innovating into the
new century in a generation of the West that is quickly acquiring a taste for tea.
the owners
Katie Watts
Katie first fell in love with tea at a Chinese restaurant in
Arlington, Virginia growing up and began blending teas
recreationally in high school. She studied business in college
and a started working on K-Teas one year after graduation.
She now runs operations full-time and grows more
passionate about tea and flavor every passing day.
Dustin Watts
Dustin grew up on earl grey with a dash of cream. He dove headlong into working
with spices after traveling across Europe and experiencing the rich expressions of
culture in food and beverages. Dustin studied engineering and computer science at
Georgia Tech. He is passionate about innovation and culture.
