Thistle & Sprig doesn't operate a walk-in tearoom — the Bishop Street address is the production and blending space founder Susannah Lee has used since the company expanded beyond her kitchen. The brand is a wholesale-and-online loose-leaf tea company launched in Atlanta in 2017, built around ethically sourced leaf, plastic-free pyramid sachets, and sustainable teaware.
Lee started the company because Atlanta had a robust coffee culture and almost no serious tea culture to match it. Nearly a decade later, Thistle & Sprig supplies tea programs at restaurants, hotels, and specialty cafes across the city, and keeps a direct-to-consumer line running through the website. The brand is a regular at Grant Park Farmers Market and has vended there since 2018.
For home buyers, the online shop is the most direct route — hand-blended loose-leaf by the tin, seasonal releases, and tea gear built around compostable packaging. For Atlanta food-and-beverage operators, the wholesale program is how the brand has quietly become a workhorse supplier in the background of the city's tea menus.
Practical notes: No walk-in retail at the Bishop Street location. Buy online, at Grant Park Farmers Market (Sundays, rotating schedule), or at Atlanta specialty grocers carrying the brand. Ask your favorite Atlanta restaurant whose pyramid sachets they're using — often it's this one.
