Real honey, in every tea bag,no spoon, no sticky jar.

How tea is supposed to bee.

In February 2013, Chris Savage — an electrical engineer working outside Washington, D.C. — was given a single-serve brewer by his mom for Valentine's Day. He went looking for tea to put in it and found almost nothing worth drinking. The selection was thin, the flavor was thinner, and making tea the old way meant a kettle, a bag, a spoon and a sticky jar of honey.

So he did what engineers do. He started prototyping in his kitchen.

After months of testing, Chris found that honey's physical properties let it be dried into granules and combined with tea leaves in a single serve — something that had not been done. True Honey Teas launched that year, and the campaign that funded it beat its target by more than double.

Thirteen years later, we are still a family business in Virginia, still blending real dried honey into every bag.
