The Birth of Sips by

Sips by was born in 2017 out of the living room of Staci Brinkman, a passionate tea lover who wanted to make discovering great tea fun, personalized, and affordable. Staci's journey to discovering tea, from a hobby to a full-blown passion, inspired her to create a platform that could be everyone's tea friend, guiding them through the world of tea.

The Core Business: Personalized Tea Discovery

The core business of Sips revolves around a unique proposition: personalized tea discovery. This service takes personalization seriously, creating a taste profile for each member based on multiple data sources. This includes their answers to the tea quiz, product ratings, and tea notes. It's a human-powered personalization supported by Steep, a deep-learning platform. This ensures each member embarks on a unique and fulfilling tea journey.

Product Range

The product range of Sips by is extensive, spanning across thousands of teas from hundreds of brands, big and small. This includes everything from large international brands to local tea shops and farms. Additionally, they've created their own product lines, such as Cookie Tea, Tea Kitten, Tiny Bee Tea, and Magic Moon. These blends focus on trending ingredients, botanicals for well-being, and delicious in-demand flavor profiles.
