CaryTown Teas made its debut
in the fall of 2006, opening its doors with a wide array of premium
tea blends from around the world. Finally, Richmond would have its own
world class, French inspired, Salon de The’.
The art of tea blending comes
naturally for Patricia Guillouard Adams, the creator and proprietor
of CaryTown Teas, born and raised in Paris, France she was schooled
by her maternal grandmother from an early age in the culture, art, and
traditions of fine tea blending. After traveling the world Patricia
moved to New York City where she owned a successful designer fashion
boutique. Patricia relocated to Richmond in 2005 to fulfill another
dream of hers to create Richmond’s only old world tea shop salon,
similar to those she grew up with in France.
A loyal clientele quickly followed
and was enhanced by the addition of Mistie Roundtree to the staff. Mistie,
who is of Native American descent, brought to the shop her own knowledge
of holistic medicine, herbology, and her own knowledge of teas, making
her a perfect fit. Together she and Patricia have created a unique environment
merging traditional European tea culture with a holistic approach.
CaryTown Teas partners with
small family farms and premium tea estates from around the world to
offer over one hundred and fifty fair trade and organic tea blends.
Additionally customers can chose from a wide number of custom medicinal
blends.
CaryTown Teas holds special
events as well a complementary tea tastings the last Thursday of every
month, and can schedule private tastings on request. Come to CaryTown
Teas to explore the blends, try our freshly made iced tea during the
summer and select your favorite house blends to take home.
