About Us
WELCOME TO WHERE TEA TELLS A STORY, AND STORIES ARE MAGIC.
In 2012, Aun-Juli Riddle set out to create taste experiences reminiscent of her favorite fantasy world—Middle Earth. Hundreds of tea blends later, she realized it was no accident and was far more than just a hobby.
Riddle's Tea Shoppe creates taste experiences reminiscent of fantasy worlds. Since 2015, they've imagined delightful flavors and magical products designed to pull tea lovers into their favorite stories.
We (Joe & Juli) spend our days and nights imagining new products and designs, and it’s an incredible feeling as partners, best friends, and artists to get to work together on things we’re both so passionate about. Read on for more about us and our amazing team!
Meet the Team
Juli
Creator & Owner. Tea curator. Artist.
Painting and pining for the worlds in books generally takes up most of Juli’s time. She collects Lord of the Rings books and beverages.
Joe
Owner & Designer.
When not designing tin labels and enamel pins, Joe enjoys working with glass, taking naps, and collecting robots.
Chris
Production Manager & Quality Control.
Making sure everything is perfectly packaged and ready for the customers are not the only things Chris is amazing at! She’s known for her adorable amigurumi and crafting ANYTHING imaginable out of wood. (PS. She’s also the best because she’s Juli’s Mom, so you should send her love and cookies!)
Adrienne
Social media assistant: Facebook & Twitter
When she's not sharing tea deliciousness on FB and Twitter, she is obsessing over Wuthering Heights, autumn, and camera settings. She also really likes cheesecake.
