Inside the underground

Tea Sip Underground rose from the fiery ashes of Tea Sip. After years of playing by traditional business rules — and a whole lot of blood, sweat, and tea — the dream that was Tea Sip didn’t go the way Jess hoped. But out of reflection, lessons learned, and a refusal to give up the craft, she’s back — rewriting what it means to be a tea entrepreneur, one rebellious blend at a time.

At the helm, tea artisan Jess has declared loose leaf anarchy, handcrafting bold, inspired blends for anyone daring enough to steep. She’s not here to cater to the tea-drinking masses or build some massive empire. She’s here to connect with her local tea community — to share something real, creative, and full of flavor, one blend at a time. She aims to drop something new each week, but the creative process, supply chain, and calendar don’t always play nice. Don’t sleep on it — sign up for drop alerts so you’re in when the tea goes live.

Now for the nitty-gritty. Jess sources ingredients from all over the world — samples, tastes, and hunts down what’s tastiest, weirdest, or most fun. Then comes the chaos: experimenting, blending, cursing, and finally landing on something just f’in magical. Once the madness settles, she handcrafts a big ol’ batch for her loyal underground crew and lets it drop.

At the core of the Underground, Jess just wants to craft something you’ll actually love. She thrives on feedback — the good, the bad, and the brutally honest. Sometimes fan favorites return; sometimes your input sparks something entirely new. Either way, she’s here to blow your mind and fuel your day.

Tea Sip Underground is one woman and her tea ingredients — built on resilience, rebellion, and a serious love of the leaf. You’ll find Jess in person every Sunday, distributing blends and swapping stories with fellow tea humans. See you soon, loose leaf anarchists.
