How Almost Tea Works
Almost Tea partners with a different regionally-loved dessert maker each month to turn their best desserts into tea! Each tea gets the stamp of approval from the original dessert maker prior to production – meaning all the teas match the flavor profile of an amazingly delicious dessert, without any of the sugar, artificial sweeteners or calories.
Inside their flagship product (the monthly box) there are 30 tea sachets, featuring 6 NEVER-BEFORE-SEEN tea blends and a mini-magazine inside every box, featuring interviews with our dessert-maker, creativity prompts, and other fun surprises.
Start a guilt-free tour of bakeries around the US by placing an order for a subscription box, featuring a new bakery collab each month. Interested in just one tea? You can order that, too!

Founding Story
In 2014, Monique Zauner met the man who would end up being her husband. Three months after they met, they started their first business together, Universal Yums. Universal Yums sends a box of snacks and candies from a different country every month. Cool idea! It’s about the most fun business you could ever start, except there is this one small downside, which is - if you have a very massive sweet tooth, you’re going to struggle having a warehouse full of EVERY CHOCOLATE IN THE ENTIRE WORLD.
About five years into running Universal Yums, Monique started drinking a cup of tea whenever she had the urge to go into the warehouse for her second chocolate bar of the day. It worked! Monique drank lots of chamomile tea and by the 34th cup she turned to her husband and said, “Why can’t I try more interesting tea? I’ve had mastic candy and haggis chips! So why do we only get Earl Grey or sleepytime tea? Zzzzz.”
Say hello to Almost Tea. They're making the world’s most crazy creative teas, inspired by a different dessert maker every month. For their first month, they partnered with Brownie Points, a sisters-in-law-owned company from Columbus, Ohio. Almost turned their coolest flavors into INCREDIBLE, zero-calorie, no-artificial-sweeteners, TEA.
Is Almost Tea Worth It?
With more than 1,500 subscribers within the first month of launch, this brand is poised to take over tea time. As a brand new box, it’s pretty early to make any broad statements about their success but they’re delivering all of the flavor with none of the baggage and we are here for it.
