Our Story

Blended in Raleigh, NC since 2016

Raleigh Tea Company was founded by William Delaney (she/her) and Anthony Garcia (he/him), originally as Western Dragon Teas and Tisanes. Anthony comes from a rich culinary heritage, and at one time in his life, he traveled Europe sampling some of the best teas in the world (along with their wine and their food, and yes, he visited Holland). William Delaney just reads about literally everything. We love all of the great teas that can be found in this world, but we believe that the true majesty of tea is to be found in the fine art of blending humble ingredients together to create a new and unique beverage. This is not just economical, but it gives power to the individual. We do not sell pre-filled tea-bags, except by special request, because we believe that the true experience of tea is to be found not just in the taste of the beverage but in the tactile sensation of handling the leaves, the aroma of the opened container, and the visual inspection of the leaves themselves. We love to share our own creations, and furthermore, we support the creativity of others.
