About Capital Teas
About Capital Teas
Born in Annapolis, Capital Teas is a modern American apothecary of fine teas—where heritage, craftsmanship, and function converge.
Our story begins in Sri Lanka, one of the world’s most revered tea-growing regions. In the late 1800s, our great-great-grandfather, Francis van Reyk, established the Dayagama Estate—laying the foundation for what would become five generations of fine tea merchants.
That lineage is not a detail. It is the standard.
Founded in 2007, Capital Teas was built to carry that legacy forward—bringing generational expertise into a modern context. We don’t approach tea as a commodity. We approach it as formulation. Each blend is crafted with intent: to awaken, to restore, to ground, to sharpen.
We source exceptional ingredients from around the world and blend them with a disciplined hand—balancing flavor, function, and experience. The result is a collection of teas designed not only to taste refined, but to support how you want to feel.
Our customers don’t come to us for tea alone. They come for ritual. For clarity in the morning, a reset in the afternoon, a return to calm at night. Across the United States and Canada, Capital Teas has become part of a daily rhythm—chosen, not habitual.
This is not trend-driven wellness.
This is generational knowledge, refined for modern life.
At Capital Teas, we believe what you consume should serve you. Each blend is an invitation to slow down, recalibrate, and move forward with intention.
Five generations of craft.
One modern ritual.
