Featuring Joyful Joyful, Spiced Orange Chai, and Victorian Vanilla Berry (caffeine-free herbal tisane), this gift set is perfect for the person in your life who deserves a little "sugar and spice and everything nice" and pairs perfectly with our Saratoga Pack - Honey Gift Set.

Joyful Joyful is as bright and delightful as its namesake song. Raspberry and pomegranate round out this spiced green and black tea blend that is redolent with all the flavors of the holiday season. Pair with the Mango Honey from our Saratoga Pack - Honey Gift Set for a fruity escape to warmer climes.

Spiced Orange Chai is a twist on traditional Indian scented tea that has become the by-word for cozy in recent years. Blended with warm spices like ginger and cinnamon, our black-tea based Spiced Orange Chai also features delightfully cozy star anise and orange. It brews well as a cup of tea or concentrate to make chai lattes. Pair with the Ghost Pepper Honey from the Saratoga Pack - Honey Gift Set for an extra kick!

Our caffeine-free Victorian Vanilla Berry rounds out the Taste of the Season Gift Set with a sweet cuppa perfect for cozy evenings by the fire. Warm notes of vanilla and white chocolate blend perfectly with honeybush, rooibos, and elderberries for a naturally sweet cup. Brew extra strong with a dash of local Saratoga Wildflower Honey from our Saratoga Pack - Honey Gift Set for a delicious dessert drink.

Our passion for teas...

We are delighted to be able to share one of the largest and most varied collections of single origin traditional teas on the East Coast with our communi·tea. Personally curated by owner Hayley, these teas come to us from small farms and collectives and represent the best of their terroirs and production styles. While wondering our shelves in-person or online, you will discover familiar favorites like English Breakfast and Long Jing (Dragonwell) alongside rare teas like Shan Lin Xi and herbal tisanes blended for mindfulness, inflammation, and much more.

& bees...

Raw honey is one of nature's most marvelous gifts. Not only is honey a marvel of energy-giving carbohydrates fortified with antioxidants, minerals and beneficial enzymes - making it the healthiest natural sugar - honey comes in a rainbow of flavors and varieties with something for everyone to appreciate and enjoy. From dark, robust honeys like Buckwheat and Chestnut to light or amber honeys like Tupelo or Orange Blossom, the subtle and sometimes not so subtle flavor differences between varietal honeys lend themselves to extraordinary flavor combinations and experimentation in the kitchen, on the charcuterie board, or in your favorite cup of tea.

all started with our Queen Bee!

A trained chef, Hayley's vision for Saratoga Tea & Honey Co. has been her entire lifetime in the making. Though she was still drinking espresso at the time, the Tea & Honey seeds were planted in the kitchens of Michelin-starred restaurants with training and appreciation for food and beverage as not just sustenance, but experience and hospitality. Her time spent as a chef-instructor at Jacques Pépin's French Culinary Institute introduced her first to matcha (and its ability to enhance sustained and steady focus), then to the subtleties of single-origin traditional teas like high mountain Taiwanese oolong. As a celebrated and awarded taster and master of culinary arts, in 2015 Hayley opened the doors to Saratoga Tea & Honey Co. Since then, she has cultivated a communi·tea for discovering rare and exciting teas, extraordinary raw honeys & unique gifts produced by small farmers and artisans from around the world.
