While on a personal journey toward a healthier lifestyle, Stacie Robertson discovered and fell in love with tea. She was disheartened when she couldn’t find a place to purchase quality tea in her community, but she quickly decided to turn her disappointment into her personal and professional mission by opening the Tea Market in 2002. “It has been wonderful to watch as people have developed an interest in tea and its many health benefits,” Stacie, a certified tea specialist and holistic health coach, remarks. 

A special line of teas Stacie created, which she calls her Functional Wellness Teas, is part of the impressive assemblage of more than 100 teas available for purchase at Tea Market. “They’re kind of my ‘first aid kit’ of teas,” she says.

Rather than sell antique china teapots and teawares, Stacie prefers to offer pieces she considers more functional to the overall tea-drinking experience. She also offers tea-education classes and private consultations to help people learn how to find and brew the perfect tea for each individual. “I want to sell something that people pull out every day and enhances their leaf life, making it simple, easy, and doable,” Stacie explains. “I don’t want people to buy tea and have it sit on a shelf because they think it’s too much trouble. I always say that the healthiest tea is the one you love to drink, because if you don’t love it, you won’t drink it.”

Customers can visit Tea Market Monday through Thursday and Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Friday from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., and Sunday from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
