Meet Shannon & Guerby Joseph

CEO & President of Joseph's Tea Enterprises

Two driven entrepreneurs from New York City, Shannon and Guerby met while running their own businesses and searching for their soulmates. They found everything they were looking for in each other — love, partnership, and a shared dream. Together, they began working on passion projects that combined their love for travel, wellness, and discovery.

Their shared dream was simple yet powerful: create magical experiences where people could take a break from the world, share a special moment, and savor the health benefits of tea. They wanted to build a place where memories are made, connections are deepened, and inspiration flows as freely as the tea.

The Beginning of Joseph’s Tea

The pandemic in March 2020 became the catalyst for their dream. As they watched the world change — businesses close, loved ones fall ill, and their own lives slow down — they felt called to focus on health, happiness, and human connection. They launched Joseph’s Tea as an online tea shop in July 2020 to share the serenity and wellness that tea brings.

In September 2021 they opened Joseph’s Tea Room & Shop in Clearwater, their first brick-and-mortar location. With only 25 seats at first, it quickly became clear that demand was much greater. In October 2022, they expanded by 2,000 square feet, creating a bright, beautiful space that now seats up to 90 guests.

Since opening, Joseph’s Tea has been awarded "Best of the Best" by the Tampa Bay Times every single year and has been featured in Tea Time Magazine — one of the top tea publications in the world — further solidifying its place as a premier destination for tea lovers.

Growing the Dream

On January 2023, Shannon and Guerby welcomed their first son, Denzel Joseph, filling their lives with even more joy and purpose.

In August 2023, they opened Joseph’s Tea Bar in Dunedin, Florida — a more intimate concept designed for cozy gatherings and small parties. The Tea Bar offers tea mocktails, tea flights, coffee, lattes, and light bites, creating a relaxed space for everyday tea moments.

In September 2024, they achieved a major milestone: launching their franchise opportunity with Joseph’s Tea, giving passionate entrepreneurs the opportunity to bring the tea room or tea bar concept to their own communities.

And on August 2025, their family grew once again with the birth of their second son, Kairo Joseph — a new reason to keep building a legacy that inspires other families.

A Pillar in the Community

Joseph’s Tea has become a true community hub by hosting one-of-a-kind themed events that bring people together — from Bridgerton-inspired afternoon teas to Alice in Wonderland tea parties, Great Gatsby jazz nights, Galentine’s flower workshops, and more. These events create unforgettable memories and position Joseph’s Tea as a place where celebration and connection thrive.

The Joseph’s Tea Experience

Joseph’s Tea is more than a brand — it’s a movement dedicated to health, wellness, and togetherness. Shannon and Guerby personally curate their 80+ blends, focusing on quality, flavor, and function. Every cup is an invitation to slow down, savor life, and connect with loved ones.

From a small online shop to multiple thriving locations, an ever-growing events calendar, and a new franchise program, the Josephs continue to pour their hearts into their business — one cup, one experience, and one community at a time.
