From your friends at Good Life Tea—where life tastes better, one cup at a time
“Come, let us have some tea and continue to talk about happy things.” — Chaim Potok
(That’s exactly what we plan to do here.)
☕ Welcome to the World of Tea, Reimagined
Tea is having a glow-up—and as proud purveyors of over 130 dazzling, soul-soothing, conversation-sparking loose-leaf teas, we at Good Life Tea are positively steeped in excitement.
Sure, the world’s been a little… unpredictable (thanks, inflation and global chaos). But here’s the comforting truth: in the midst of all the hustle, tea is where people are turning. For peace. For pleasure. For balance. And let’s be honest—for a good excuse to wrap your hands around a warm mug and say, “I’m unavailable for the next five minutes.”
Tea isn’t just a drink. It’s a ritual. A remedy. A reminder to slow down. And whether you're new to tea or have a pantry that could rival our shop in Canandaigua, these five tea trends will help you sip smarter, shop savvier, and fall in love with your tea cabinet all over again.
Let’s dive in—mug in hand.
🍵 1. Wellness Teas Are Having a Moment (And We're Totally Here for It)
We’ve always known that tea is good for you—and now, the rest of the world is catching on. In a world where self-care is non-negotiable and wellness is less about weight loss and more about mental clarity, emotional peace, and deep rest, tea has become the drink of choice for the soul-searching and the spa-day-seekers alike.
And no surprise here: our wellness tea blends are flying off our shelves—virtual and physical.
✨ Our Wellness Rockstars
-
C of Tranquility – A gentle blend of chamomile, peppermint, and rose petals that whispers, “You’ve got this.”
-
Joyful Release – A floral-forward, feel-good mix with hibiscus and rosehips that practically hums with optimism.
-
Raspberry Refresher – Comforting, calming, and beautifully aromatic—like aromatherapy in a teacup.
-
Lakeside Calm (AKA Serenity Now) – Yes, that is a Seinfeld reference. And yes, it’s as calming as the name suggests.
💡Wellness Tea Tip: Try drinking our Sleep Better before bed and see if your dreams don’t get a little dreamier.
Why It’s Trending: Functional ingredients are all the rage—think adaptogens, anti-inflammatories, and natural calmers. But tea does it without the pills or powders. Just hot water and a beautiful steep.
🍃 2. Matcha Madness: Why Everyone's Going Green (In the Best Way)
Ohhh, matcha. Our earthy, creamy, green little powerhouse. We’re not saying it’s the Beyoncé of tea… but we’re also not not saying that.
Matcha is more than a trend—it's a movement. From TikTok whisks to at-home matcha lattes, people are obsessed, and we totally get it. It’s energizing without the jitters, packed with antioxidants, and turns the most basic mornings into a tiny tea ceremony.
🍵 Good Life Matcha Favorites:
-
Ceremonial Grade Matcha – Vibrant, smooth, and luxurious. If green were a love language, this would be it.
-
Culinary Grade Matcha – Perfect for smoothies, matcha cookies (yes please), and creamy green lattes.
Why It’s Trending: Social media has turned matcha into the darling of wellness influencers, morning routine gurus, and health-focused foodies. Its ability to energize and calm at the same time? Magic.
Pro Tip: Pair matcha with a little vanilla almond milk and honey. Sip slowly. Feel like royalty.
☀️ 3. Rooibos Rising: The Naturally Sweet Star of the Tea Cabinet
If you haven’t fallen for rooibos yet, allow us to formally introduce you. This naturally caffeine-free red tea from South Africa is the sweet, smooth, antioxidant-packed delight you didn’t know your nighttime routine was missing.
It’s earthy. It’s mellow. It’s like a hug in liquid form. And the best part? It plays so well with others. Vanilla, caramel, chai spices—you name it.
💛 Rooibos Favorites from Our Shelves:
-
Caramel Rooibos – Decadent, dreamy, dessert-worthy.
-
Bourbon St. Vanilla Rooibos – A bestseller for good reason. Soft, warm, and effortlessly comforting.
-
Fireside Chai Rooibos Blend – All the boldness of chai, none of the caffeine crash.
Why It’s Trending: As more people ditch caffeine in the afternoon (or altogether), rooibos steps in to save the day with its rich flavor and zero-caffeine charm.
🍂 4. Loose-Leaf Tea Is Back—and It Never Looked Better
Okay, so… loose-leaf tea isn’t new. (We’ve been singing its praises forever.) But it’s finally getting the attention it deserves. People are waking up to the fact that bagged teas often contain less flavorful fannings and dust, while loose-leaf offers a richer, more aromatic experience.
We like to think of it like this: loose-leaf is to tea what hand-crafted cocktails are to spirits. More intentional. More flavorful. More fun.
🛍️ Why Our Loose-Leaf Tea Shines
-
We offer over 130 varieties, from classic Earl Greys to quirky fruity herbals.
-
All teas are packaged in resealable, freshness-locking bags. No stale sips here!
-
You can find your tea, not just a tea. Oolong? Got it. Hibiscus? Yep. White tea? You betcha.
Why It’s Trending: As consumers move away from hyper-convenience and start embracing slow living, they’re reaching for more artisanal, high-quality experiences—like brewing a beautiful pot of loose-leaf tea.
🌎 5. Sustainability Is More Than a Buzzword—It’s a Lifestyle
People care about where their products come from—what they’re made of, how they’re packaged, and what kind of impact they leave behind. And rightly so.
That’s why we at Good Life Tea are always seeking ways to be more planet-friendly. From eco-conscious packaging to working with ethical suppliers, we’re dedicated to a tea journey that’s good for you and the Earth.
What We’re Brewing Up:
-
Our resealable bags help you waste less and sip longer.
-
Many of our teas come from farms that practice sustainable farming methods.
-
Our tea ware includes reusable infusers, beautiful mugs, and classic teapots that make every brew more special (and less wasteful).
Why It’s Trending: With over 90% of consumers saying sustainability influences their shopping choices, it’s clear that going green isn’t optional—it’s essential.
