Genuine Tea

Genuine Tea Toronto's Farm to Cup Tea Company. Delivering high-quality, fresh tea to you while providing fair compensation for farmers.

Sarah and Dave spent nearly five years in Taiwan and traveled across Asia forming relationships with tea farmers. They came back to Canada with a simple dream - to share their love of tea and adventure with others. Their goal is to close the gap between the tea in your cup and the people who have dedicated their lives to producing it. With every cup of Genuine Tea, you will enjoy high-quality fresh ingredients all while supporting tea makers around the world for their craftsmanship.

This is genuinely one of the best drinks we've made in a long time and we need you to try it immediately 👀

A salted Earl Grey cold foam matcha latte. Yes. It's as good as it sounds.

The cold foam is easier than you think.

We follow a simple ratio:
3 parts cream / 2 parts milk / 1 part Earl Grey syrup

Froth it up, pour it over your matcha, add a pinch of salt on top, and thank us later.

Would you try this?

Motherhood has been the most rewarding, chaotic, beautiful journey of my life 💛

Building Genuine Tea while raising my boys has taught me so much about slowing down, being present, and appreciating the little moments.

Feeling especially grateful today for my boys, my mom, and all the incredible mothers and mother figures who give so much of themselves every single day.

Happy Mother’s Day 🤍

We took a little road trip to a sugar shack in Muskoka to see how maple syrup is actually made, and obviously we brought our Canadian Maple Cream black tea along for the ride 🍁

Watching sap turn into syrup while sipping on a cup that tastes like exactly that? Honestly, peak Canadian moment.
Some things just belong together.

We popped into , one of our amazing café partners, and we definitely didn’t leave hungry. 🥐

seriously though, if a flaky pastry or a proper sandwich paired with a cold brew elderberry hibiscus iced tea sounds like your kind of afternoon, this is your sign. Forno never misses.

Spring harvest vs. summer harvest 🌱

Spring leaves sit dormant all winter, storing nutrients. When they’re harvested, they’re at their most vibrant, most nutrient-dense, and naturally sweeter.

Summer harvest is still great, but spring delivers that bright green colour and smoother finish people associate with premium matcha.
