Our Story
Appalachian Tea is the result of a dream, a few events, and a HUGE response from the community. We've been helped along the way by so many people, in ways both big and small.
​
Some of the doubters said that there was no place in Charleston for tea. With your help, we've shown them otherwise!
A new Charleston
Charleston, West Virginia is a small town for a capital city, but we're growing. In the last few years, we've seen a boom of coffee shops around the area as well as an influx of better dining restaurants. Which is great, but we had yet to get anywhere that focused on tea!
​
Appalachian Tea was made to address this. As someone who is born and bred in the state, I want us to have things people come for! I want locals to have as many options for places to go and things to do that the big cities have. Maybe this is just one small step, but it's what I can do and what I love.
Who am I?
My name is Sasha, and I'm a lifelong native of West Virginia and Charleston itself. I loved the Ferguson Tea Room in Hurricane and I've been mourning it since it closed.

After years of moping and thinking about how I could do it, maybe even better, I've decided to take the leap.
