The Teapothecary
Step into the delicious and comforting world of the Teapothecary, where tea is more than a drink—it’s an experience.
Imagine having tea with Queen Victoria at noon and sharing a cup with Professor Moriarty in the evening. Our historically researched teas, known as Sense and SensibiliTea, take you on a journey through time—what we like to call Time Travel in a Cup.
For the book lovers, our NovelTeas collection draws inspiration from beloved stories, with flavors and scents that transport you into the pages of your favorite books. Every sip tells a story, and every blend is hand-crafted with care.
Our Origins
Founded by Wanda, The Teapothecary is a proud queer-owned enterprise built on passion, resilience, and a commitment to excellence. After immigrating to Canada
18 years ago to attend Dalhousie University, Wanda transformed her lifelong love
of tea and history—cultivated during her youth in New England—into a flourishing business. Despite facing a learning disability that delayed her discovery of a deep passion for reading, she has consistently turned challenges into opportunities for growth.
As a single mother, Wanda has navigated adversity with determination and strength. Her journey includes overcoming the loss of her home and the historic Victorian church that housed her business in a devastating fire. Yet, through these hardships, she has rebuilt and reimagined the Teapothecary, ensuring that every blend tells a story of triumph and perseverance.
Beyond her entrepreneurial endeavours, Wanda is an accomplished performer and
artist, actively collaborating with non-profit organizations to give back to the community. Today, the Teapothecary stands as a beacon of innovation, inclusivity, and resilience—a brand that not only offers exceptional teas but also inspires with its story of courage and reinvention.

From Hobby to Legacy
