It didn’t take long for word to get around in some pretty fancy circles that Richards could supply unique and delicious teas. Wholesale customers of the tea business include the new Alias Restaurant in Vint Hill, Crest Hill Antiques and Tea Room in The Plains, and Miss Minerva’s Tea Room and Gifts in Culpeper, as well as tearooms, tea shops, and retailers across the country. The company’s teas are poured in establishments in California, Arizona, Utah and New Mexico.
