How Ingredients Are Prepared
Our ingredients aren’t pre-mixed or mass-produced. Each botanical—saffron, orange blossom, rose petals, cinnamon, and cardamom—is prepared fresh in-house every day. We respect the ideal temperature, timing, and extraction method for each ingredient to bring out its best flavor and natural properties.
We thoughtfully infuse these botanicals with our teas to create drinks that are balanced, expressive, and intentionally crafted. This approach allows every ingredient to show up fully clean, vibrant, and exactly as it was meant to taste.
Tea as the Foundation
Tea is the foundation of everything we do. We treat it with the same care as the botanicals we infuse — respecting temperature, timing, and extraction to bring out clarity, depth, and balance in every cup. Each drink is prepared fresh, allowing the tea to remain the star.
All of our drinks are naturally sweetened with honey or date syrup!
Cardamom offers a bright, aromatic flavor with hints of citrus and natural sweetness. Its essential oils, including cineole, are associated with digestive support, respiratory ease, and clear, balanced energy. Cardamom contains natural antioxidants and antimicrobial properties that help refresh the senses and support overall wellbeing. Cracked fresh and infused at the right heat to release its full aroma.
Supports: digestion, respiratory comfort, clarity, antioxidant activity
Cinnamon adds warmth, natural sweetness, and a mild spice. Its key compound, cinnamaldehyde, provides antioxidant and warming properties that support circulation, steady energy, and digestive comfort. Cinnamon is also studied for its potential role in blood sugar balance and metabolic support. Freshly prepared and infused to bring out its smooth, grounding flavor.

Saffron is also rich in antioxidants that help protect the body from oxidative stress. Prepared fresh and gently infused to extract its color, aroma, and uplifting character.

Menu Philosophy
LeafMeUp isn’t a traditional tea shop. We reimagine tea through modern formats, unexpected textures, and thoughtful preparation. Every drink starts with quality tea and is layered with one of our five core botanicals — saffron, rose, orange blossom, cinnamon, or cardamom — each prepared fresh in-house and infused at the right temperature and timing. These categories are designed to show how versatile, expressive, and exciting tea can be.
Velvet Shaken Teas
Milk-based teas infused with one of our core botanicals, then shaken over ice to create a light, velvety texture. Each drink combines tea with a freshly prepared botanical infusion, resulting in something creamy, smooth, and aromatic, a modern take on iced tea with body and depth.
Cold-brewed teas infused with one of our signature botanicals and lightly carbonated. These drinks are crisp, bright, and refreshing, designed to highlight both the tea and the botanical without overpowering either. Each one is balanced, clean, and made to feel lively yet refined.
Slow-brewed teas infused with one of our botanicals and served over ice, finished with a soft layer of infused cold cream. The contrast between chilled tea and creamy foam adds texture and depth, while keeping tea as the foundation of the drink.
