Cuples Tea House

301 Light Street Baltimore MD 21218

Founded by husband-and-wife team Lynnette and Eric Dodson, Cuples Tea House is a modern, Black-owned tea brand on a mission to make tea culture accessible, inclusive, and wellness-focused. Inspired by their own journey toward healthier living, Lynnette and Eric created Cuples Tea House to introduce communities—especially those in urban food deserts—to a refreshing, zero-calorie beverage that nourishes the body and uplifts the spirit.

Tea, unlike the sugary and carbonated drinks that dominate many neighborhoods, offers a natural path to better health. Rich in antioxidants and free of calories, artificial sweeteners, or chemicals, tea helps support heart health, digestion, and mental clarity. Cuples Tea House encourages people to slow down, connect, and make small lifestyle changes that can have a lasting impact.

Through pop-ups, partnerships, and their flagship tea-tasting experiences, Lynnette and Eric aim to spark conversations around mindful consumption and community care.

More than just a tea house, Cuples Tea House is part of a larger movement: to empower people to reclaim wellness, one cup at a time.
