How it started

How it started

It began at our own kitchen table

We’re Claire and Tomy. We met working as EMTs, always figuring we’d build something of our own one day. The 2020 shutdown finally gave us the time, and we’ve made everything by hand ever since, treating every order like it’s going to someone we know.

Our story

Two people, a kettle, and a lot of good intentions

Mello Teas is Claire and Tomy, a small Pennsylvania family making teas, jerky, and kettle corn we’re genuinely proud to hand you.

A little timeline

1. The idea. For years we wanted to build something as a family, we just could never agree on what.

2. 2022, Mello Teas. We made it real with a few honest blends and a table at local markets and community days.

3. 2024, Wild Jerky. Real brisket, marinated and slow-dried, joined the table.

4. 2025, Kettle Corn. We took over a local kettle corn business a family had run for 25 years.

A few honest sentences beat anything we could invent.
