Tay Tea specializes in hand-blended artisanal teas, teaware, and gifts. Founded in 2003 by tea enthusiast Nini Ordoubadi who comes from a third generation tea blending family. Hospitality is in Nini's Persian roots. She loves the exchange of stories and the joy of making new friends everyday, one cup of tea at a time.

Located in a converted warehouse building on Delhi's Main Street in the western Catskills, the front area with its twelve foot tea bar serves for tea tasting and the retail shop. The rear of the space is reserved as the tea blending studio, graphic design, and shipping orders.

Tay Tea uses 100% natural and wild-crafted ingredients offering hand-blended loose leaf teas and organic single note teas sourced from small tea gardens from around the world. The teas are presented in  classic tins, vintage-style German apothecary jars, or paper refill bags. 

"From the very beginning my shop has been a place of hospitality and sharing - a meeting spot for people to come together and exchange stories and make new friends."
