Our History:

The founder’s passion for tea began as a young child growing up on the Caribbean Island of Jamaica. Her mother and grandmother were both avid tea drinkers.

Her grandmother who lived to be 98 years old would often send her outside to pick tea leaves and tea bushes, cerasee, mint, and hibiscus, to name a few. The inventive youth would often add ginger root, orange peels or the like to the tea, creating her special blends. Thus her passion was born, leading to the creation of BaskeTeas® in 2007.

Our goal is to offer a unique experience that heightens everyone’s enjoyment of tea as well as of the delicious foods and the very special atmosphere that afternoon tea brings.

“When tea becomes ritual, it takes its place at the heart of our ability to see greatness in small things. Where is beauty to be found? In great things that, like everything else, are doomed to die, or in small things that aspire to nothing, yet know how to set a jewel of infinity in a single moment?” - Muriel Barbery
