About Us

Our Passion

At Churchill's, we are passionate about tea.  This passion has led us to explore the history of tea over the past 5000 years and the variety of traditions that have developed along the way.   

We have travelled around the world, experiencing tea traditions first hand, and bring you the finest and freshest loose leaf teas from the world’s best tea gardens.  We personally taste all the teas we offer to ensure that they meet our requirements for quality.   

To enhance the ritual of teawe continually search for teaware that is both functional and easy to use.  In addition, we offer vintage and rare teaware and bone china tea sets for those special occasions - or simply for treating yourself.  Many of our tea sets and accessories are handmade by craftspeople whose skills have been passed down through generations.

We offer tea tastings and a ‘Learn About Tea, Learn About the World’ program so you can learn more about the origins and customs of tea - whether you are interested in English Afternoon Tea, the Chinese art of the Gongfu Tea Ceremony, the Japanese Tea Ceremony or masala chai.

Our Heritage

Like a lot of small businesses, Churchill's began with a small spark of passion. Over the last twenty years that spark has ignited – a passion of one (Kathleen Kern, a Brit who missed a good cuppa) has grown to a team of 15+.

Our shared passion has given two generations of our family the opportunity to travel, learn, taste tea together, create memories, and share stories. Many of our customers and team members have become friends. We've remained independently owned and operated as we've moved, expanded, opened pop-ups and new locations, won awards, and collaborated with the very best of Cincinnati. We've finished every single day with a feeling of gratitude to have such amazing and passionate customers, partners, neighbors, tea growers and brilliant team members. The last twenty years have been nothing short of exceptional and we are equally excited about what the future holds.

 

Our New Journey

A new year brings a new journey, Angela Qu is now the new owner at Churchill's Fine Teas. Similar to Kathleen, Angela grew up in tea culture and she has exciting contacts in the tea world through family and friends. Angela has been involved with Churchill's since early November and many of you have already had the opportunity to meet her and hear more about her tea journey. 

Angela, along with her husband and two boys, have lived many places in the US, Asia, and Europe. They moved to Cincinnati in 2019 with the intention to be part of the community as well as contribute to it. She is excited to be joining a business so strongly rooted in the community.

 

Please join us on a new journey as we celebrate our heritage and begin a new chapter at Churchill's Fine Teas.  We wish you the best on your tea journey,

Angela Qu
