Brooklyn Tea is a small, Brooklyn-rooted producer and retailer of high-quality loose-leaf tea, crafting blends that invite mindful moments. The company operates storefronts in Brooklyn and Atlanta, and at JFK International Airport Terminal 4, with distribution through 186 Target stores and Wegmans (Navy Yard). Its airport presence is enabled by a foodservice partnership with HMSHost/Avolta, a major travel retail operator. It positions itself within the food and beverage services sector by offering accessible, community-centered tea experiences beyond mass-market offerings. Its customer base includes everyday tea drinkers, wholesale buyers, and potential franchise partners, along with commitments to community initiatives such as HBCU scholarships, nonprofit partnerships, composting programs, and plant medicine education via a podcast titled The Benefits: Plant Medicine Unlocked. A recent development in its growth is the opening of a new store in New York, extending its footprint amid major travel and retail networks.
