Our Story
Born on the Boardwalk
It all started in an old ice cream shop on the boardwalk with a couple of friends who quit their jobs and moved to the beach. We wanted to live a life as free-spirited as our hometown. With some tea leaves, two kegs, and our toes in the sand, we began crafting a little taste of Ocean City sunshine, and from there, Hoop Tea was born.
We hope you enjoy drinking it as much as we enjoy making it.
Cheers,
Danny & Billy
