Tea for the life you’re tending.

Thicket is a small tea company in Clovis, California. It’s the two of us, Amanda and Ryan, and we blend, weigh and bag every batch ourselves.

Amanda has worked as an esthetician for more than 23 years. That’s a long time spent paying close attention to ingredients, to routines, and to what people will actually keep doing day after day. Ryan is a lifelong tea and beverage enthusiast, the one at the table who wants to know what’s in the cup and why it tastes the way it does.

We started Thicket because we wanted teas we’d reach for every day. Good to drink first. Made from plants we can name. Easy to brew without any fuss.

That starts with what goes in the bag. We use high-quality ingredients and keep looking for the best sources we can find for every one of them, because a blend is only as good as its plainest leaf.

About the robin

The world on our labels, with its robins, brambles and hedgerows, comes from a love of the English countryside, old botanical plates and the apothecary shelves in storybooks. It’s an imagined place. The tea is real, and so are we.

What we believe

Everybody is tending something: work, people, a garden, an idea, themselves. We don’t think anyone needs a tea to tell them how to live. We just want to make something good to drink while you get on with it.
