Velvet Leaves is a family-run tea company led by Lidia Morelli — a Tea Sommelier, Tea Blender, and Master of Ceremonies.

At Velvet Leaves, we do more than sell loose-leaf teas. We craft experiences rooted in the beauty, history, and culture of tea. Every blend is created with intention and care, but our true passion lies in sharing the spirit of tea with others.

For us, tea is more than a beverage — it’s a ritual, a story, a moment of connection. Through ceremonies, tastings, workshops, and cultural events, we invite people to slow down, learn, and discover the magic of tea from around the world.

Lidia’s journey with tea has taken her across continents in search of knowledge and inspiration. With formal training in tea culture, blending, and ceremonial traditions, she continues to deepen her studies to offer meaningful, enriching experiences to every guest.

Velvet Leaves was born from love — for tea, for tradition, and for sharing moments that nourish the soul.
We believe tea connects us to ourselves, to each other, and to the world.
