At Yerba Buena Tea Co we believe

Tea connects cultures, inner-self, and time

Three things that have to be true before a tin leaves the kitchen.

We teach

Every blend and recipe tells the cultural story behind the leaf. Hannah taught elementary school for ten years, that's the YBTCO method.

We gather

Coast to coast, folks are brewing YBTCO together, and why every story belongs at the same table. Tea is for everyone.

What keeps people pouring

Kitchens, offices, bedside tables. 14,000 households brewing across the country. Here's what keeps them coming back.

Like a Blanket in a Mug

"Drinking YBTCO’s Chai is like wrapping up in your coziest blanket on a rainy day. It’s warm, rich, and perfectly spiced. I never thought a tea could bring this much comfort, but now it’s my go-to evening ritual."

— Samantha R., Portland, OR

tart, bright, gorgeous color

Citrus hibiscus is my fridge staple in summer. Brew strong, chill it, add ice. So refreshing and that ruby red is stunning. No caffeine so I drink it all day. Lemongrass keeps it from being too sharp.

— Christina

smoky goodness

Lapsang is such a moody tea and this is a great example. Proper campfire smoke but smooth underneath. I drink it black on rainy days. Not an everyday tea but I love having it.

— Thomas

Wellness That Tastes Delicious

"I’ve always loved elderberry, but Elderberry Immunitea takes it to another level. It’s soothing, slightly tart, and helps me feel grounded during flu season. It’s wellness in a cup, without tasting like medicine."

— Maya R., Austin, TX

More Than Just Great Tea

"YBTCO is more than a tea company. Hannah is thoughtful, community-driven, and genuinely values sustainability. The packaging is gorgeous, their mission is inspiring, and every blend feels like it was made with care. I send them as gifts constantly."

— Rachel P., Bend, OR

big bold assam

If you want a proper strong cup this is it. Malty and brisk, basically demands a splash of milk. Great for early mornings when you need to be hit over the head a bit. No complaints.

— Isabella E.

The Tea That Reset My Expectations

"I was skeptical about changing loose-leaf tea, I figured it was all the same. But then I tried YBTCO's Lemon Ginger Mint, and it totally reset my expectations. Crisp, clean, with just the right zing. I actually look forward to steeping it every day."

— Noah M., San Francisco, CA

A Brand That Genuinely Cares

"YBTCO is more than just tea - it’s a brand with heart. Their commitment to organic ingredients, sustainable packaging, and creating community is inspiring. Plus, their teas taste phenomenal. I’ve started gifting them to friends, and everyone’s hooked!"

— James L., Brooklyn, NY

knocks me out gently

Good Night has become my bedtime ritual. Soft, a little floral and earthy, and I drift off so much easier after a cup. No grogginess in the morning either. The passionflower and lavender must be doing their thing.

— Pamela Z.

The Freshest Tea I’ve Ever Had

"I’ve sampled teas from all over the world, and the vibrancy of YBTCO’s blends is notable. Every sip tastes fresh and intentional. Bonus: the tins are so well-designed, they’ve replaced every other box of tea in my pantry."

— Sarah T., San Diego, CA

rose and bergamot, so elegant

Bergamot Rose is like fancy afternoon tea in a cup. Floral and citrusy over a strong black base. Smells divine. Makes me feel very fancy on an ordinary Tuesday. Adore it.

— Priya J.

lovely gentle white tea

Soft and a bit floral with a natural sweetness. I drink it when I want something calm and low caffeine. Resteeps beautifully so I get two or three pots out of one go. Great value really.

— Christopher
