Liif is about creating the ultimate tea experiences, starting with the highest quality leaves from some of the most coveted tea-producing regions in the world. We deal directly with world-renowned estates and brokers to offer rare and proprietary
teas in small batches, and then package them in eco-friendly vessels that protect against air, light, and moisture for maximum freshness and flavor.
“While you can find teas at local shops, groceries and markets, my favorite is Liif Tea.”
- Debi Lilly, President of A Perfect Event, quoted in March '08 issue of Chicago Scene magazine

Our Story
My passion for tea began with a premium loose leaf tea fresh from high in the mountains of Sri Lanka. I soon became fascinated with tea's presumed health benefits, history and varieties, and all the characteristics that make a tea really spectacular. Everything we do at Liif stems from this passion and desire to help others fully enjoy all their tea experiences.
- Founder of Liif Tea
Liif Tea is a Chicago-based importer, wholesaler, and retailer of specialty loose leaf teas and accessories. Founded by Laura Moran in 2007, Liif offers premium products and destination tea events tailored to your specific needs and preferences.
Liif works directly with world-renowned tea estates and brokers to select the best, typically single-estate and hand-plucked leaves. This means that no leaves from other estates are blended into a given tea. It also means that you can taste subtle differences in flavor of that tea throughout the year much like you would with different vintages of a fine wine.
Liif’s clean and well-balanced flavors are the result of our obsession with bringing you something truly unique and special. Our focus on purity, luxury, and a beautiful lifestyle is part of our mission to deliver a premium tea experience from the crop to your cup, or from the pick to the pour.
