WHY TEA FIRST, THEN ADVENTURE?

Store owner Anne has always been enamored by the story of Peter Pan – in it, he asks a good question: “Would you like an adventure now, or shall we have our tea first?” Our answer is always the same: Tea First, then Adventure. Stop by, grab a tea. Sit for a spell or take it to go. Then get out there. Explore all the great places in spaces in our beautiful community. Spread some pixie dust. And if you can, fly!

PERPETUAL STUDENTS OF TEA

Store owner and chef Anne Milneck took a deep dive into the world of tea when she opened Red Stick Spice in 2012. Since then, she’s earned multiple tea certifications and is also a certified Tea Sommelier. While credentials are nice to hang on the wall, Anne considers herself a perpetual student of tea, cupping teas every day, teaching Tea 101 classes and taking every opportunity to educate staff and customers.
