Serve Third Wave Tea
Premium
Whole leaf tea
Whole leaf, whole flavour. We're proud to deliver farmer-direct and organic leaves that steep with uncompromising flavour. Hand-blended & packed in Ontario, we never use any artificial flavourings or additives.
Brew better, leaving nothing behind. Made with the same whole leaf tea, our compostable pyramid tea bags deliver full flavour with consistency & speed. Made from plant-based poly-lactic acid, they break down in commercial compost in under 90 days and never leach microplastics.
Both bulk, retail and individually wrapped packaging available to suit every context.
Direct Trade
Matcha Program
Forget the shortage! For over a decade, we've been working with the Katō Family to bring you ceremonial-grade, single-origin matcha grown in Uji, Japan. Shade-grown under bamboo and stone-milled in small batches, each harvest is selected for balance, clarity, and umami. Our direct relationship allows for consistent matcha supply.
Three harvests, one farm. Spring and summer harvests of the Yabukita cultivar, and an organic spring harvest of the Okumidori cultivar.
Rich in L-theanine and clean caffeine, Katō Matcha delivers calm, focused energy in its purest form. Sourced with transparency and crafted with care.
Barista-Approved
Microground Latte Powders
Silk in a cup. Our Microground Latte Powders are stone-milled from carefully selected loose leaves and botanicals into full-flavour powder that dissolves instantly and creates rich, lasting foam. Classic café favourites like London Fog, Chai, Turmeric Gold, and Lion’s Mane Cacao: reimagined for silky consistency and speed.
Made with pure, whole ingredients, meaning no fillers, no dairy.
Ready-to-Drink
Sparkling Iced Tea
Summer is a mindset! Our Sparkling Iced Teas are crafted by baristas, for baristas. Brewed from award-winning loose leaf and perfectly carbonated for a crisp, summery finish. With simple, certified organic ingredients, including real fruit juice that provides 3g of naturally occurring fruit sugar, they deliver vibrant, full-flavour tea with no added sugar.

Why Genuine Tea Outperforms Typical Tea
Third-wave sourcing, café-grade flavour, and brew guidance that makes every cup repeatable.
| Standard | Genuine Tea | Typical Grocery Tea | "Premium" Tea (varies) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tea Quality | Whole leaf, intentionally processed | Often broken leaf or dust | Mixed |
| Flavour | Real, layered, clean finish | Flat or overly perfumed | Mixed |
| Ingredients | Thoughtful botanicals, oils & blends | "Natural flavours" + fillers | Sometimes strong, sometimes vague |
| Brew Repeatability | Clear temp + time guidance | Generic instructions | Varies |
| Versatility | Hot, iced, lattes, cocktails | Mostly hot only | Mixed |
| Sourcing Mindset | Ethical, relationship-driven | Opaque | Sometimes ethical |
| Freshness Focus | Small-batch handling + storage standards | Long supply chain | Varies |
| Experience | Built like a café tea program | Built like a commodity | Mixed |
The GT standard: if it doesn't taste exceptional and brew consistently, it doesn't make the menu.
