EXCLUSIVELY AT GOURMET ALASKA

THE REPUBLIC OF TEA

Hundreds of premium teas, herbals, and botanicals. The most complete collection in Southeast Alaska — only at our Juneau shop.

THE BRAND

A PHILOSOPHY OF SIPPING

Republic of Tea was founded on a single idea: that the ritual of a cup of tea can change the way you move through a day. Unlike fast-food tea bags, every Republic of Tea blend is crafted with purpose — whole-leaf teas, botanicals sourced from origin, and formulas that deliver something real in every steep.

Gourmet Alaska is proud to carry one of the most complete Republic of Tea collections available in the Pacific Northwest. From their iconic Be Well herbals to rare single-estate Darjeelings, we stock the teas that most shops never carry. Come in and taste before you buy.

A great cup begins before the kettle boils. Match your water temperature and steep time to the leaf.
