Over Two Decades in the Making

About Danielle

Danielle Beaudette, proprietor of The Cozy Tea Cart, has been selling high quality teas for over two decades. During that time she has also researched the history of tea and tea wares. Danielle has a special interest in the history of tea and its ceremonies, and considers herself a student in her quest for knowledge on tea. She is continually doing research on tea in an effort to stay up to date with the current information and trends. As a Specialty Tea Institute member, Danielle receives regular industry reports and has access to a number of the tea industry’s information sources.

Danielle was one of the first 15 individuals in the United States to be certified as a Tea Specialist, in Levels 1-4, through the Specialty Tea Institute, NY. To date she has completed over 100 tea seminars at the World Tea Expo. The invaluable information she has learned in the seminars and from tradesmen provides her with insights on the current trends of the tea industry, knowledge of the latest studies on the health benefits of tea, and a better understanding of how to manage a tea business. She has researched and learned first-hand about the production of tea through her Asian tea travels and relationships with Chinese, Indian, Sri Lankan, Japanese, Nepalese, and Taiwanese tea growers.

Danielle sources only the finest, high quality, freshly imported teas, regularly earning awards for “Best of NH” by NH Magazine, Best of Souhegan Valley, and Best of Greater Nashua. Just as important as the quality of her tea, she promotes excellence in service and makes educating customers about tea a priority.

About The Cozy Tea Cart

The Cozy Tea Cart expanded over ten years ago from a small retail tea shop into a more spacious building in a central location in Brookline, NH. The shop sells high quality teas and tea accoutrements as well as unique specialty gift items. Along with hot or iced tea to go, TCTC offers savories and baked goods from our kitchen, made fresh with locally sourced ingredients from farms in NH and MA.

The Cozy Tea Cart not only provides excellent service, but also helps to educate those with a fondness for tea through lectures, brochures, tea tastings, and one-on-one discussions. We are a proud member of the Tea Association of the U.S.A. This non-profit organization is dedicated to educating and serving the needs of purveyors in the specialty tea industry.
