At Snarky Tea, we believe tea should be anything but ordinary.
We're here to shake things up with bold flavors, fun themes, and inventive brewing methods that bring excitement to every cup. Whether you're exploring new ways to steep or simply sipping your favorite blend, we're dedicated to making every tea moment extraordinary. Our mission? To help you discover the joy of tea—on your terms, in your style.
How Did We Get Started?
Snarky Tea was founded in 2016 by our Chief Snark Officer, Jenni-Lyn Williams. Jenni-Lyn is a Philadelphia native who was running herself into the ground working for corporate America while earning her MBA and raising kids. It was a stressful life, and the more stressed she got, the more coffee she drank. After suffering from anxiety and mid-day jitters, she finally went to the doctor who told her she should consider switching to tea in order to cut back on caffeine.
Cutting out coffee seemed like a death sentence, and the tea brands she saw in stores sounded like they were created for woodland fairies, not real women. Jenni-Lyn couldn’t find functional tea options that fit her personality, so she created her own; and Snarky Tea was born.
What Sets Us Apart?
At Snarky Tea, we’re all about delivering the "WOW" experience. From the moment customers smell, see, or taste our loose-leaf teas and herbal fruit blends, we want them to say, "WOW!" It’s not just a reaction—it’s the driving force behind our product development. No "wow," no go.
We source vibrant, high-quality ingredients from around the world to recreate classic, nostalgic flavors. Whether it's vibrant purple dragonfruit cubes from Germany that capture the airy sweetness of cotton candy, or a bold and brisk Assam straight from Northeast India, ingredient sourcing is our art form.
Our blends are packaged daily at our facility just outside Philadelphia, PA, so unlike mass-market brands, our teas arrive at your door incredibly fresh. And here at Snarky Tea, we’re literally family—working alongside aunts, cousins, sisters—this is more than just business; it’s personal to us.
Yo...Weren’t You On Shark Tank?
You better believe it! In 2017 Jenni-Lyn served her teas to the sharks on Shark Tank and walked away with two investors, Kevin O’Leary and Bethenny Frankel. You can read more about our Shark Tank story here.
