Interview Q&A
How long have you been in business?
We have been in business since June, 2001.
What is your primary product or service?
We help relieve stress in 2 hours or less! By providing a relaxing atmosphere, great food, quality loose leaf tea and friendly service, our customers can step away from their hectic lives and leave refreshed. We also offer "retail therapy" with over 70 different blends of loose leaf tea, tea accessories and gifts.
How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
We love tea and all that comes with it. From the first whistle of a boiling kettle to the last drop in a china teacup, taking time for tea is a relaxing and refreshing experience. Co-owners Janet and Erin first became interested in tea as a business after touring different tea rooms and hosting tea for family and friends. Then leaving their corporate jobs they ventured into the world of tea to bring that same relaxing and refreshing experience to everyone.
How do you differentiate yourself from other businesses in your category and area?
Our first area of distinction is that we guarantee you will love our tea! We allow you to try as many flavors as you like - all of our teapots are refillable and tea flavors are interchangeable. If you choose a tea that you don't care to drink, send it back - we'll make you something else. Our second area of distinction is that you can always trust that our tea is fresh. We order tea in small quantities so that you will have the freshest tea possible. It does not sit on our shelves and is not stockpiled in the back. We keep our inventory low to bring you the best tea experience possible.
How many locations do you have and do you have plans to expand?
We currently have 1 location in Bel Air, MD and an online store: http://shop.teabytwo.com

We accept, Cash, Check, Visa, Mastercard
Which areas do you service?
Harford County, Baltimore County, Baltimore City, Washington, D.C., South Central Pennsylvania, Delaware

What is the best compliment anyone can give you?
Our favorite comment from customers is that they left their cares behind when they stepped into the tea room.
What is your favorite quote or Bible verse?
Isaiah 30:18
Yet the Lord longs to be gracious to you; therefore he will rise up to show you compassion. For the Lord is a God of justice. Blessed are all who wait for him!
