Gruene Tea Haus serves wellness in every cup

Albert and Casey Luna believe tea doesn’t get a fair shake. In a world full of coffeehouses and coffee drinkers, tea gets woefully overlooked, so the Lunas decided it was time to balance the scales.

They opened Gruene Tea Haus, one of the Hill Country’s only artisanal tea shops. Its mission: To create an environment where tea lovers can come together and experience diverse and unique teas from around the world.

“Tea is fundamentally different from coffee,” Albert said. “Historically, coffee shops have been the hotbeds of revolution. It’s just something about the beverage. But tea itself is relaxing. So our goal is to just be a relaxing, chill place for people who want to try different teas.”
