Our Story
Born from a love of
Born from a love of
slow mornings
Tea Era started with a simple belief: that the best part of your day deserves more thought than a quick drive-thru can offer. In 2022, two friends opened our doors on Santa Teresa Blvd with a single mission — to bring the ritual of real tea back to San Jose's East Side.
We source loose-leaf teas from small estates across Asia and the Pacific, blend our own signature blends in-house, and prepare every cup by hand. No bags, no machines, no shortcuts. Just proper tea, done right.
