Steeping Stories Since 2010
Welcome to TeaCups.ie — a cosy corner for anyone who loves loose leaf tea in Ireland.
This is a small, thoughtful space for people who enjoy slow rituals, gentle wellness, and the simple comfort of a well-brewed cup of tea.
Every leaf here has a story. Every brew is an invitation to pause, breathe, and come back to yourself — even if it’s just for a few quiet minutes.
You won’t see my name shouted from the top of the page, and that’s intentional. This space isn’t about me being centre stage. It’s about sharing something I’ve loved for a long time: real loose leaf tea, herbal blends, and the simple comfort of a mindful tea ritual.
From Ireland, With Love
TeaCups.ie is based in Clonmel, Ireland — a small town with a big heart.
Our teas travel from all over the world, but they arrive here to be curated slowly, tested thoughtfully, and packed with care. Nothing rushed. Nothing random. Just blends I genuinely enjoy and trust enough to share.
It’s a quiet kind of business — the kind built on trust, quality, and good cups of tea.
Why Loose Leaf Tea?
My tea journey began back in 2010, driven by curiosity more than anything else.
What started as “let’s try something new” slowly turned into years of learning, tasting, and experimenting — discovering how different teas make you feel, not just how they taste. From the grounding depth of oolong, to the calming softness of chamomile, the cleansing nature of nettle, and the beautiful balance found in Ayurveda-inspired herbs.
TeaCups.ie was created to make loose leaf tea in Ireland feel approachable, comforting, and part of everyday life — not something complicated or intimidating.
Tea became less about caffeine… and more about care.
Over time, I realised that brewing tea — properly, intentionally — can be a small daily ritual that gently resets your day. And that’s what I wanted to share.
Loose Leaf Tea in Ireland – A Slower Way to Brew
Loose leaf tea is different. It has been enjoyed for centuries across cultures, from traditional Chinese tea ceremonies to Ayurvedic herbal practices (source: Wikipedia).
It’s not something you dink and forget. It asks you to slow down — even briefly — while the leaves open, the water cools, and the aroma rises.
Whole leaves and flowers give you:
Fuller flavor
Better aroma
A deeper connection to what you’re drinking
And honestly? It just feels better!
