About our shop
We are a small business with a big heart that loves to source incredible tea.
Established in 2010, the Clipper Ship Tea Company is a purveyor of 200 premium loose leaf teas that are sourced from our travels to tea countries of origin. We have navigated the world curating a selection of the finest teas available. Our tea collection consists of traditional teas and innovative blends. We offer loose tea, pyramid sachet teabags, and sampler boxes.
In November 2010, our first tea shop was opened on Main Street in Northport Village. In 2017, a fire in a neighboring bar destroyed the Northport tea shop. As much as we loved being located in Northport, we felt a fresh start was necessary after the fire.
In 2018, the Clipper Ship Tea Co. opened a new tea shop on Main Street in Huntington, a few miles from our original location. We spent 6 wonderful years in downtown Huntington Village. Our last day open in Huntington Village was March 30th, 2024. We're thrilled to be evolving and expanding with the purchase of our own building - it's a dream come true to be our own landlords!
In May 2024 we bought a building and moved to 1 Brooksite Dr Smithtown, NY 11787. We're currently closed to the public for renovations. We anticipate being open in September.
Thank you for shopping small and supporting a big dream! Though we might not be the only tea you drink, we strive to be the best. We’re honored when Clipper Ship Tea Co. becomes part of your daily life. We hope our tea comforts you, makes you happy, wakes you up, helps you sleep, inspires you, motivates you, and restores you.
