About 3 Leaf Tea

We’re 3 Leaf Tea, an online matcha shop, community, and café based in Auburn, New York – a small town in the heart of the Finger Lakes with a population of 30,000 people. It’s an unlikely location for a matcha shop, and that’s exactly why we’re here. Luciana Torous, our founder and owner was born and raised in Auburn, and she never imagined owning her own business, let alone a tea business. In fact, she didn’t even care for tea until she tasted it properly brewed for the first time. One sip changed everything, and Luciana’s newfound passion for tea eventually led her to matcha. Another sip changed, even more, when Luciana discovered the matcha experience, which helped to alleviate the anxiety she struggled with since childhood. She knew she had to share it with everyone, so she started a business. 3 Leaf Tea launched online in January 2015. Seven months later, Luciana opened a brick-and-mortar location built on a passion for community and wellness in downtown Auburn. Our roots are local, but our mission is global. All of our matcha is imported direct from Japan, and blended in small batches in Auburn, New York. All of our flavors are sugar-free, and vegan.Read their story
