Small Batches
Three kilograms at a time, weighed by hand. A batch is tinned the week it is mixed, so nothing sits on a shelf.
About Us
A small herbal tea boutique where every blend is weighed, mixed and tinned by hand.
Our Story
Clara Whitfield Founder & Head Blender
We Wanted The Best Leaf We Could Find
Infusia began in 2011 on one table at a Portland market: four blends, a kettle and a lot of tasting spoons. People came back for the chamomile, then asked what else it would go with.
Today the blending room mixes 12 house blends from 15 botanicals every Tuesday, and anyone can build a blend of their own.

What We Hold To
Three Things We Never Skip
Growers We Know
Every botanical comes from a farm we have visited or a grower we have bought from for years. The origin is on every page.
Steeped Right
Every tin carries its steep: the water, the leaf and the minutes. A good blend steeped badly is a bad cup.
The Blending Room
We Made This
Four people, fifteen botanicals and a tasting bar that opens at nine.

Lovely Customers
“Moonlit Chamomile is the only thing that has ever made my evenings slow down. I build my own version now, with a little more lavender.”
“The steep tags taught me I had been boiling my green tea for years. Morning Clarity at eighty degrees is a different drink.”
“We serve Ginger Spice and Turmeric Chai in our studio. The wholesale tins arrive the week they are blended, every time.”
What Comes Next
A Second Tasting Bar
Next spring we open a second tasting bar across the river, with a blending counter where you can build a tin and watch it mixed.
