We LOVE creating blends suggested by our customers! If you have an idea for a tea blend that you would like to see, please take a moment to contact us about it. It might take us a little while to get to it, and it might be molded and shaped a bit as we try to craft a great tea, but we try to follow through with every suggestion we get.
Our Story
nce upon a time, there was this guy. We’ll call him Frank, because that is his name. Frank really liked tea. A lot. He grew up in the Southeastern US, drinking honeysuckle tea and sassafras root bark tea, and of course, sweet sun tea in the hot summers.
When the grocery stores started selling flavored teas, Frank was very excited about this. He loved the peach and raspberry flavored teas that were offered, but often wondered why the tea companies stopped with just a handful of flavors. If they could do peach and raspberry, why not watermelon or grape or coconut cream pie? So Frank started experimenting and researching, and soon he was blending and flavoring his own teas. As his knowledge of tea increased, he became obsessed with opening his own tea shop, and many years later Zoomdweebie’s Tea was finally born.
With over 200 teas in his shop and online at www.zoomdweebies.com, Frank was saddened to discover that he was actually running out of physical room for new blends, so he created 52teas.com, a project of Zoomdweebie’s Tea.
52teas is committed to bringing you a new small batch custom blended hand-crafted tea EVERY WEEK. More than that, we are asking our customers to help us decide what to blend. If you have an idea for a tea blend, please take a moment to submit it through the form above. We’ll see what we can do to make it happen.
Please feel free to purchase any of our teas individually, or sign up for one of our Tea of the Week Plans and we will mail you our tea of the week every week. Just know that each of our teas are produced in small batches only, and when they are gone, they’re gone.

Is it possible to get you to reblend Malted Genmaicha or what would the minimum amount be required to get you to make this? Thank you!!
We don’t like to blend less than one pound at a time. That said, we typically require enough demand to sell one pound’s worth of pouches. Alternatively, if you REALLY want a given blend and will commit to buying one pound of a tea in bulk, we can offer a full pound to you for $49.99 including shipping to the US or Canada, IF we have everything we need to create it.
Unfortunately, I don’t have any more genmaicha presently, so I couldn’t reblend this anyway, but if you are interested, you can send me an email and I will get some genmaicha to blend it for you.
2 oz. doesn’t sound like very much. I noticed that you sell the T-sacs in packs of 20. So I am guessing that one order can make 20 average (8-12 oz, one table spoon of leaf) cups of tea.
Am I estimating correctly, or at least in the ball park?
Chris, most of our pouches contain enough tea to make 20-25 8oz cups of tea, one teaspoon per cup. We sell in 2oz. quantities because our customer base is largely comprised of folks who like to try new and different teas. With us making something new and different every week, larger pouches would leave people with a lot of tea. Please let me know if you have any more questions.
