cushla • CUSH-luh noun
An Irish term of endearment meaning “my heartbeat” or “my love.”
Our Foundation Story
Our roots trace back to generations of farmers along the Atlantic coast of Ireland, where harvesting Irish Moss - a nutrient-dense red seaweed that grows along the rocky North Atlantic shores - was not a trend but a necessity.
Working with powerful plants demanded respect: for nature, for craft, and for honest labor. That tradition continues to shape what we do today.
What We Do
Cushla is a direct importer and curator of whole leaf and premium mineral-rich teas. We work closely with farms that practice responsible cultivation and careful harvesting, building long-term partnerships grounded in trust and transparency.
By maintaining direct relationships with growers, we ensure traceability, consistency, and integrity from origin to cup.
Our focus is simple: exceptional tea, sourced with intention and presented without excess.
We Prioritize Quality
Premium should never mean inaccessible. Quality should never require exaggeration. What we offer is clarity in sourcing, in flavor, and in purpose.
Responsibility
Responsibility is central to our work. From sustainable farming partnerships to thoughtful packaging that avoids unnecessary plastics and incorporates recycled materials whenever possible, we believe stewardship and quality belong together.
From coastlines shaped by the Atlantic to the mountain regions where tea is grown, our respect for powerful plants remains unchanged.
