A New Chapter for Your Favorite Blends

After 25 wonderful years, Bill and I are retiring from the retail side of tea to focus on our lectures and programs. While we are closing our shop, we wanted to ensure our signature blends lived on.

We are thrilled to announce that Crest Hill Tea Room in The Plains, VA, is now the official home of The Larkin Collection. Matthew and his team share our passion for quality and will be producing our signature blends and proprietary recipes with the same care you’ve come to expect, available alongside their own wonderful Crest Hill blends.
