Two Leaves and a Bud

Founded in 2004 in Basalt, Colorado, Two Leaves and a Bud is an independent tea company built on the mission of making high-quality, whole leaf tea accessible to everyone. Named for the specific "two leaves and a bud" hand-plucked from the Camellia sinensis plant to ensure premium flavor, the company pioneered the use of pyramid-shaped, compostable plant-based sachets in North America. By prioritizing direct relationships with organic farmers and maintaining a focus on "community-powered stewardship," they deliver a diverse range of formats - from sachets and loose leaf to iced teas and latte mixes - designed to meet the standards of tea novices and "tea freaks" alike.
