Excerpt

Summer is a season of gathering, slowing down, and savoring the small rituals that bring us together. In this month's newsletter, we're excited to introduce The ROYALtea Ritual, our new personalized tea subscription designed to help you build a meaningful tea experience around the teas you love most.

You'll also discover our new Premium Gallon Iced Tea Collection, perfect for summer entertaining, along with opportunities to join us at upcoming community events celebrating tea, culture, and history. Whether you're enjoying a refreshing glass of iced tea on the patio or exploring new tea traditions, we invite you to make tea part of your summer story.

Tea Rituals that Bring Us Together

I hope you're enjoying the longer days of summer and finding opportunities to slow down, connect with loved ones, and perhaps enjoy a refreshing cup of tea along the way.

As I write this month's newsletter, I am reminded that tea is often woven into the small rituals that help mark the seasons of our lives. Whether it's a hot cup to start the morning, a glass of iced tea shared with friends on the patio, or a new tea experience that introduces us to a different culture, these moments have a way of bringing us together and helping us appreciate the present.

We have several exciting updates to share with you this month:

First, we're thrilled to introduce The ROYALtea Ritual, our new personalized tea subscription designed to help you build a meaningful tea ritual around the teas you love most. Inspired by centuries of tea culture and created with flexibility in mind, this new offering allows you to customize every aspect of your tea journey. We're also excited to announce the launch of our new Premium Gallon Iced Tea Collection, making it easier than ever to brew premium iced tea for summer gatherings, family celebrations, and everyday enjoyment.

And if you'd like to experience tea with us in person, we hope you'll join us at two upcoming community events:

Masala Chai Tea Demonstration at the Cincinnati Public Library on 6/27
The July 4th Public Reading of the Declaration of Independence at the Seasongood Pavilion in Eden Park, where we will serve teas from our Founder's Liberty Tea Collection - 1773

As always, thank you for supporting our independent small business and for allowing us to be part of your tea journey. Every visit, every order, every conversation, and every shared cup helps us continue our mission of connecting people to the world's diverse tea cultures while fueling inspiration, one steep at a time.

Now, let's begin with our biggest announcement of the month...

Fueling inspiration, one steep at a time,

Angela

Introducing The ROYALtea Ritual Tea Subscription

Some teas become part of our daily lives in ways we don't always notice.

The tea that helps us begin the morning with intention. The afternoon cup that provides a moment of calm between responsibilities. The evening infusion that invites us to slow down and reflect on the day.

When tea becomes part of a cherished ritual, running out can feel like more than an inconvenience. It interrupts a moment of comfort, connection, and presence.

That simple idea inspired the creation of The ROYALtea Ritual, our new personalized tea subscription designed to help you keep the teas you love within reach while continuing to explore the world of tea.

Unlike traditional subscription boxes, The ROYALtea Ritual is completely customizable. Choose from more than 285 premium loose-leaf teas, herbs, and blends, select the quantities that fit your lifestyle, and schedule deliveries every 4, 8, 12, 16, or 24 weeks. You'll also enjoy 5% savings on every subscription order and earn ROYALtea Rewards and Tippys with each shipment.

More than a subscription, The ROYALtea Ritual is an invitation to deepen your relationship with tea—one cup, one discovery, and one meaningful ritual at a time.

Because the best tea ritual is the one that never runs out.

Premium Gallon Iced Teas for Summer Entertaining

Introducing Our New Summer Gallon Iced Tea Collection!

Summer is the season of gathering, relaxing, and savoring life's simple pleasures—and few traditions are as refreshing as a pitcher of freshly brewed iced tea shared with family and friends.

This year, we're excited to introduce our new summer Gallon Iced Tea Collection, featuring seven exceptional teas specially selected for effortless brewing and unforgettable flavor. Each oversized gallon tea bag is filled with premium loose-leaf tea, fruits, herbs, and botanicals, containing approximately 30% more tea than traditional gallon-sized tea bags. The result is a richer, smoother, and more flavorful pitcher without the bitterness often found in conventional iced tea bags. This year's collection includes:

Jane's Strawberry Promenade Black Tea – A delightful black tea accented with the sweet flavor of ripe strawberries, perfect for summer afternoons.
Moroccan Mint Green Tea – A timeless blend of green tea and refreshing mint that delivers a cooling and invigorating cup.
Orange Passion Fruit Herbal Blend – Bright citrus and tropical passion fruit create a vibrant, caffeine-free summer refresher.
Bali Breeze Herbal Blend – A tropical escape in a glass, bursting with fruit-forward flavors and exotic botanical notes.
Tanzania Gold Black Tea – Smooth, rich, and remarkably refreshing, this premium black tea offers a classic iced tea experience with exceptional depth and character.
Lemon Drops Decaffeinated Black Tea – All the bright, citrusy refreshment of lemon iced tea with none of the caffeine.
African Sunrise Green Tea – A lively blend of green tea, raspberry, lemon, and rose petals that captures the brightness of a summer morning.

Whether you're hosting a backyard gathering, relaxing on the porch, or simply looking for a better way to stay refreshed throughout the season, our new gallon iced tea collection makes it easy to brew a premium pitcher worthy of sharing. Fun summer accessories such as Iced Tea Mason Jar Mug with Straw and Stainless Steel Bubble Tea Straw Set are also available at Churchill's this season.

Here's to a summer filled with good company, meaningful moments, and exceptional tea.

Join Us for Upcoming Tea & Community Events

Time flies! It is almost a year since the grand opening of our Madisonville location on June 7th, 2025! Join us on the same day this year as we celebrate the one-year anniversary of our Madisonville location and begin honoring the 250th anniversary of American Independence with a special Tea & Tale event. This gathering is both a reflection on Churchill’s own journey of finding community in Madisonville and a look back to 1773, when tea became part of a moment that changed history forever. We hope you’ll join us for an afternoon of tea, storytelling, and shared celebration.
