It's All About U&Me
UMe was founded in California in 2019 with a simple idea: tea should be fun, creative, and shared with the people you love. It's all about U&Me — where handcrafted drinks, thoughtful design, and culture come together. Today UMe is one of America's favorite tea shops, known for its commitment to quality.
Ume the bunny and friends — the little crew behind every cup. You'll spot them on our cups, in our stores, and tumbling around this website.
