Teabella
Tea Company
"Although I’ve loved tea since I was a little girl, owning a tea shop wasn’t always my plan. I studied history and biology at Mount Holyoke and had plans to pursue veterinary medicine. At one point I worked as a whale trainer at the Mystic Aquarium, and worked a series of other jobs before finally turning my lifelong passion for tea into a business.
​
With support from friends and family, I opened TeBella Tea in 2010 despite having no real background in business. I had no idea what I was doing or where it would take me, but since then, I’ve visited Japan, China, Sri Lanka, and India on tea-buying trips, and have learned so much from the tea masters and farmers I’ve met in each country.
​
On the home front, TeBella Tea has grown from one small shop to four locations in three cities and a thriving wholesale business. We are proud to supply tea to over 140 cafes, restaurants, and hotels nationwide.
​
What I’ve always loved about tea is the ritual aspect of it. The process of making tea is an art form, even in the every day. You choose your tea, a favorite cup, something sweet to eat with your drink–it is a respite from the frantic pace of daily life. To bring that love of tea to other people, and teach them about the complexities and nuances of loose leaf tea, has been a dream. I couldn’t imagine my life unfolding in any other way that would be as fulfilling as this one. I hope our tea shop on the island can be a little pocket of happiness for our customers as well."

Roastery of Cave Creek
Roasting in Valley since 1997, the Roastery of Cave Creek - ROC2 - has made it our mission to provide the best fresh and local coffee Arizona has to offer.
Sustainability is a cornerstone of our operation with sourcing from a number of Fair Trade and Direct Trade partners. We have traveled the globe in search of the finest organic coffees from the four major growing regions - Central America, South America, Africa and Indonesia.
Through a balance of art and science, we methodically roast and cup our coffees. Careful not to under roast or over roast, we seek to identify the sweet spot where the nuanced flavor profiles of each coffee are revealed. Call us a bunch of coffee geeks but we believe it’s this critical approach to every cup that makes us different from other roasters.
We have applied that same mad scientist approach to our cold brew and nitro program - arguably “the best you’ve ever tasted” as we have heard from countless coffee lovers.
We partner with Maya Tea and Harney and Sons to provide wholesale customers with a one-stop organic coffee and tea program.
It’s our privilege to work with some of Arizona’s most prominent chefs and luxury resorts. We provide brewing equipment to meet the specific needs of each establishment we serve, and we service equipment to ensure our customers are pouring a memorable cup. Often a cup of coffee is the last impression you leave on a customer, and it’s ROC2’s goal to ensure the best coffee experience possible.
