Tea & Honey Gifts for Employees, Clients & Corporate Holiday Events
In celebration of this year's historic running of the Belmont Stakes at our very own Saratoga Race Course, we're releasing a limited edition Triple Crown Tea Gift Set inspired by the traditional tastes of each race: the Kentucky Derby's Mint Julep, the Preakness' Black Eyed Susan, and the Belmont Stakes' Belmont Jewel.
Each of the featured teas is delicious hot or iced and makes a delightful race day refreshment alone. If you're interested in making a Saratoga Tea & Honey Co. twist on the traditional race day cocktails, head on over or our blog for a Mint Julep cocktail recipe featuring our Moroccan Mint.
Kentucky Derby: Moroccan Mint (Mint Julep)
In honor of the Kentucky Derby's traditional Mint Julep, we're featuring our refreshing Moroccan Mint tea. A green tea with peppermint and spearmint, Moroccan Mint is the quintessential taste of summer in the south.
Preakness: Sweet White Peach (Black Eyed Susan)
Though we could have chosen a beautifully marine Japanese green tea like our Kabusecha in honor of Baltimore's delicious blue crabs, we decided instead to feature our popular Sweet White Peach tea as a nod to the Black Eyed Susan cocktail, which features peach schnapps and orange juice. Sweet White Peach is the ideal summer tea with its succulent peach aroma and fruity-floral flavor.
Belmont: Green Paddock Pom Pom (Belmont Jewel)
Our Green Paddock Pom Pom is too perfect a match for the pomegranate forward Belmont Jewel to pass up, and we love how this raspberry and pomegranate green tea blend brews hot or iced. Brew up a nice big batch and sweeten it with our local wildflower honey for the perfect refreshing iced tea on race day!

We are delighted to be able to share one of the largest and most varied collections of single origin traditional teas on the East Coast with our communi·tea. Personally curated by owner Hayley, these teas come to us from small farms and collectives and represent the best of their terroirs and production styles. While wondering our shelves in-person or online, you will discover familiar favorites like English Breakfast and Long Jing (Dragonwell) alongside rare teas like Shan Lin Xi and herbal tisanes blended for mindfulness, inflammation, and much more.
Raw honey is one of nature's most marvelous gifts. Not only is honey a marvel of energy-giving carbohydrates fortified with antioxidants, minerals and beneficial enzymes - making it the healthiest natural sugar - honey comes in a rainbow of flavors and varieties with something for everyone to appreciate and enjoy. From dark, robust honeys like Buckwheat and Chestnut to light or amber honeys like Tupelo or Orange Blossom, the subtle and sometimes not so subtle flavor differences between varietal honeys lend themselves to extraordinary flavor combinations and experimentation in the kitchen, on the charcuterie board, or in your favorite cup of tea.
A trained chef, Hayley's vision for Saratoga Tea & Honey Co. has been her entire lifetime in the making. Though she was still drinking espresso at the time, the Tea & Honey seeds were planted in the kitchens of Michelin-starred restaurants with training and appreciation for food and beverage as not just sustenance, but experience and hospitality. Her time spent as a chef-instructor at Jacques Pépin's French Culinary Institute introduced her first to matcha (and its ability to enhance sustained and steady focus), then to the subtleties of single-origin traditional teas like high mountain Taiwanese oolong. As a celebrated and awarded taster and master of culinary arts, in 2015 Hayley opened the doors to Saratoga Tea & Honey Co. Since then, she has cultivated a communi·tea for discovering rare and exciting teas, extraordinary raw honeys & unique gifts produced by small farmers and artisans from around the world.
