You, Me and Tea
About Us



Some things in life are simply destiny. That's the only way we can describe our venture into the world of tea. After years of enjoying tea and collecting teapots, we had the good fortune to find ourselves in Ma Foosies, in Tasmania. Enchanted with a sumptuous snack of tea, scones and clotted cream, we believed that we had truly discovered bliss.
 
Shortly thereafter, when we least expected to reinvent ourselves, we stumbled upon a tea shop for sale in a quaint seaside town. Nothing seemed more perfect or destined. 
 
Our efforts have exceeded our expectations, in that summer tourists who have passed through Port Jefferson have become loyal customers. Our website grew from the desire to provide our visitors with the opportunity to replenish their teas upon returning home, but it now thrives, independently, as a result of our quality products and service.
 
We hope you take the time to visit us and learn more about the health benefits of drinking loose tea.

I have been to a few Tea shops around the island and this one is my absolute favorite. The staff treats you like you are a treasured guest in their home and the selection of loose teas and accessories is huge! Their teas are always fresh and delicious!!! If you are looking a wonderful place to buy tea, this is it! If you are a bag tea person, you have to try the loose tea experience, I am confident it will become one of the favorite parts of your day! Enjoy!!

This is a great addition to the shops in Port Jeff Village! The tea selection is great. There[apos;]s something for everyone. You can sit outside when the weather is nice. There is also a good selection of tea themed merchandise.

Great little tea shop at the end of Chandler Square in downtown Port Jefferson.  You, Me, and Tea sells loose tea, bagged tea, and pretty much every tea accessory known to man.  There are little jars of the loose tea for you to open up and smell the different aromas of the teas.  I personally love the Jasmine Green, the Monk's Blend, and Tibetan Lavender.  They serve hot and cold tea as well as some pretty darn good raisin scones.  However, if you're looking for a "High Tea" service, this is not your shop.  There *are* little tables outside where you can sip your tea and munch on the scones, though.  As a bonus, they also serve bubble tea in nine different flavors, each of them yummy.  The pearls aren't the big black ones, but it's still delicious.  Great atmosphere, great owners, prompt service.  If you're looking for some tea, this is the place for you!
