About Us
Urban Tea Gardens is a family owned and operated business located in the beautiful Tampa Bay Area. They specialize in organic and natural loose-leaf tea. Shelby and David Jonnatti are the owners of Urban Tea Gardens and with the help of their daughter Heather they have been serving tea for the past five years.
Many of their teas are blended in house and others are carefully taste tested and selected from artisan blenders around the world. Shelby created their signature drink - Hibiscus Lemongrass Ginger and it’s made with all organic ingredients. Shelby loves to teach people how to properly prepare tea and you will often see David making and serving up delicious iced tea at the markets. Heather’s specialty is helping customers select their favorite blends. Shelby, David and Heather continually experiment with new tea blends and are always looking to provide fun and exciting new flavors for their customers.
Shelby has been drinking tea since childhood. Her earliest memory was her mother’s orange spice pekoe sun tea that was made on their back porch in the rolling farmlands of Iowa. Shelby and David have shared their love of tea with all their children and three grandchildren.
You can also order directly from them online at www.urbanteagardens.com. Their tea is also available at local markets around the Tampa Bay area. You can find more information about them and where they will be next on their Facebook or Instagram page.
FUN FACTS
Besides being tea lovers, Urban Tea Gardens believes in donating to local animal rescues. They have a collection tin on their table that says “Animal Rescue Tips” and all the proceeds are donated and posted to their social media pages so everyone can see the difference we all make as a collective in an animal's life.
