About

OUR STORY

Welcome! We are Larry and Tamara Rhoads, owners of Inspirations Tea Room & Eatery, Two Hearts Inn, and Teaoli (local, online, and wholesale), and we are proud to call Oklahoma our home.

 

Our flagship store, Inspirations Tea Room, opened in February of 2004, fulfilling our desire to provide a place in Edmond and the greater Oklahoma City area that would encourage the gathering of faith, family, and friends. In time, our vision grew, and we opened the Two Hearts Inn Bed & Breakfast in December 2007 at the same location. The goal of the Two Hearts Inn is to encourage marriages by providing a place for couples to renew, rekindle, and relax.

 

Through the years, we have had the privilege of serving over 1,000,000 valued customers, guiding them on a journey through the rich history, warm hospitality, and numerous health benefits of tea. In our pursuit of excellence and offering exceptional products to our customers, we came across a remarkable assortment of extra virgin olive oils and balsamic vinegars in 2010. Recognizing the incredible quality and unwavering dedication of one of the world's most reputable importers, we established a direct purchasing relationship with them.

 

As our passion for tea intertwined harmoniously with our newfound love for these exceptional extra virgin olive oils and balsamic vinegars, the concept of "TEAOLI" was born. Being committed to providing only the best to our customers, we conveyed our interest to our primary tea supplier in the possibility of acquiring their business if the opportunity ever arose.


Six years later,  we were presented with the chance to purchase the very tea company that had been supplying our premium blends for years. Originating from Seattle, this cherished tea purveyor was soon transplanted to our home base in Oklahoma. Now we are able to supply our own stores as well as other small businesses with an exquisite assortment of finely crafted, distinctively unique tea blends.

OUR PRODUCTS

At Teaoli, we are dedicated to providing a wide selection of premium and exceptionally fresh olive oils, aged balsamic vinegars, and fine loose leaf teas sourced globally while maintaining competitive pricing.

Our team is prepared to enlighten visitors about the multitude of health advantages linked with our offerings, as well as their versatile applications.  We trust these products will capture your heart (and tastebuds)  just as they have ours!
