ABOUT US

We're making a difference

We are Eric and Lynnette Dodson, owners of Cuples Tea House, a small black/woman-owned business in Baltimore, MD.  For us, tea was always something that we enjoyed together, and it was through our love and passion for tea that we discovered Cuples Tea House. We started Cuples Tea while researching ideas to create residual income for our family and what we ended up with, was a product that provides alternatives to carbonated, sugar laden drinks.So in 2015, we jumped in with both feet to create a brand that allows us to combine tea education, music, art, literature, and good vibes in a socially connected atmosphere – all while inspiring healthier communities through educating people about the many medicinal benefits of drinking tea.Cuples Tea House is a small minority/woman owned business out of Baltimore, Maryland selling premium loose leaf tea and tea accessories. 

Our particular niche is that our tea house is about inspiring healthier communities through educating people about the many medicinal benefits of drinking tea and thereby connecting people to premium loose-leaf tea. Cuples Tea hopes by introducing people to alternatives to sugary drinks which contribute to the unhealthy lifestyles of people in urban communities, that we begin to redefine how people enjoy healthy beverages. Cuples Tea House will be designed to include a tea bar for our tea tastings, relaxed comfortable urban inspired atmosphere, a retail boutique and event space for our tea parties. We want to combine culture, music, art and tea education in this socially connected backdrop…and tea is the vehicle that makes it all possible. It’s not about being another tea house or coffee house, Cuples Tea House will be a lifestyle destination. The coffee culture is completely different than tea. The coffee culture is all about go-go-go we’re about enjoying the basic goodness of being present in the moment. People come in for the delicious, healthy beverage we call tea; and they leave with their spirits elevated, nourished, and re-energized.
