About Us

World in a Cup was born from a lifelong ritual of connection, culture, and care. Founder Elaine Holmes, raised in a Caribbean household, grew up surrounded by the richness of traditional bush teas each cup brewed with purpose, healing, and heritage. Tea was never just a drink; it was comfort, wisdom, and a way of life passed down through generations. As Elaine traveled the world, she carried that tradition with her collecting teas from different countries, cultures, and communities. Each blend told a story. Each ingredient held meaning. But she noticed something missing. She couldn’t find teas that truly honored both authentic cultural roots and modern wellness organic, ethically sourced, and deeply connected to the people and places they came from. So she created it. World in a Cup is a reflection of that journey a curated collection of teas inspired by global traditions, grounded in heritage, and crafted with intention. Every blend is made with strictly organic ingredients, ethically sourced from around the world, and designed to nourish the body, calm the mind, and connect people through shared experiences. From Caribbean healing blends to floral infusions, tropical escapes, and ceremonial matcha, each cup invites you into a story one of culture, care, and connection. Because tea is more than a ritual. It’s more than a moment. Because tea is more than a passport , every sip tells a story.
