Company Focus:
- The Tea Spot’s vision to modernize the loose-leaf tea experience has held steadfast since the for-profit philanthropic company was founded in 2004 by Maria Uspenski, a cancer survivor drawn to the health benefits of leaf tea during her recovery. Her message is simple and powerful: Tea in its freshest form renders exceptional flavor, unmatched health benefits and is eco-friendly. Uspenski is also the author of Cancer Hates Tea, which explores a powerful, five-cup-a-day steeping habit.

What role does tea play in our lives?
- For The Tea Spot founder Maria Uspenski, tea is more than a beverage, it’s a way of life. From her family roots back in Russia to her personal cancer recovery journey to the teaware she created using her MIT engineering background, tea and Maria are inexorably intertwined—as is the unique blend of art and science she brings to the practice. When you shop The Tea Spot, you know you are getting the freshest tea available, only including leaves from the latest harvest. As the only single source provider of tea with our own patented teaware (thanks, Maria!), our goal is to modernize the loose-leaf tea experience so you can enjoy the functional benefits at home or on the go for the perfect cup every time.
