Tea is more than a drink
—it’s a ritual of restoration, a moment to breathe, and a gateway to a more mindful life. At Upland Tea House, we blend the world’s finest loose-leaf rooibos with botanicals that nourish both body and soul. Each sip invites you to slow down, be present, and indulge in the richness of now.
Inspired by the serene richness of the Cederberg region and the timeless wisdom passed down through generations, our teas are designed to support balance, clarity, and joy. We believe in wellness without rules, where self-care is effortless, and tea is a companion in your most cherished moments—from sunrise stillness to sunset unwinding.

Sip Slow. Live Fully.
We believe that wellness isn’t a checklist—it’s a feeling. It’s the quiet pause before the day begins, the warmth of connection shared over a cup, the simple luxury of being present. Our tea is designed for those who seek balance, cherish beauty, and embrace the art of slowing down.
Rooted in both heritage and innovation, we source only the finest organic rooibos from the Cederberg region of South Africa—a place as rare and untamed as the tea it produces. Nestled between rugged mountains and kissed by the African sun, the Cederberg is the only place on Earth where true rooibos grows, thriving in mineral-rich soil and a pristine, untouched landscape. It is here, among the rolling hills and ancient rock formations, that our teas begin their journey—one of purity, craftsmanship, and exclusivity.
A Ritual of Refinement
This is an invitation to elevate the everyday. Each blend is crafted with intention, offering not just a beverage, but a ritual—one that nourishes the body, soothes the mind, and honors the past.
Our Philosophy
Wellness, Your Way – There are no rules to mindful living. Whether you sip at sunrise or unwind at sunset, our teas fit seamlessly into your rhythm.
Steeped in Stories – Every cup connects us to those who came before. We honor tradition while creating new moments of stillness and celebration.
A Legacy in Every Leaf – Sourced from the Cederberg’s sun-drenched terrain, our rooibos is naturally caffeine-free, rich in antioxidants, and cultivated with the utmost care—ensuring an experience of uncompromising quality.
Sip With Intention
Every sip of Upland Tea is a moment reclaimed—a chance to breathe, reflect, and embrace the beauty of now. We invite you to step into the world of Upland, where tea is not just a drink but a luxury ritual, an expression of self-care, and a tribute to life’s most precious moments.
Sip slow. Live fully.
Johnie’s Reserve: Golden Hour in Bloom
A season steeped in softness, legacy, and golden-daydreams.
I remember long summers when the afternoons melted into golden evenings—when my best friend and I would lie barefoot by the window fan, sipping sweet tea from old glass jars, dreaming in cursive. Back then, we were girls with glitter pens and wild plans—certain we’d bloom into the women we wrote about. Now, we’re finally becoming her.
Introducing Golden Hour in Bloom, the signature sip of Upland Tea House’s Bloom Era.
It’s more than a tea—it’s a tropical daydream dressed in silk.
A lush red rooibos base, kissed by juicy papaya, mango, pineapple, and peach—delicately laced with safflower petals, like the last rays of sunlight brushing across your collarbone.
This blend is a tribute to those soft, sacred moments… and to the woman who first taught us to pour love with intention—Johnie Dukes, the heartbeat behind Upland Tea House. Her legacy lives in every steep, reminding us to slow down, to live with care, and to bloom fully—no matter the season.
