Tea Bazaar in downtown San Diego stocks over 100 loose-leaf tea varieties from a brick-and-mortar shop on Kettner Boulevard, blending leaves, flowers, fruits, and herbs in small batches. Founder Cassie Singal — a CPA turned tea formulator with training in ayurvedic medicine — builds functional blends for energy, relaxation, and wellness, a botanical-to-cup approach that puts Tea Bazaar in the same small-batch artisan category as Nibble Chocolate downtown. The Asian Business Association of San Diego honored Tea Bazaar as its Small Business of the Year, recognizing the women-owned and Asian-owned company's growth from farmers-market stand to permanent retail space. Singal's storefront supplies chai, herbal, and CBD-infused blends to walk-in customers and over a dozen San Diego farmers markets including the Little Italy Mercato, a distribution reach that parallels the tea-focused beverage program at Kenzi Coffee & Tea Garden in Bankers Hill. Custom wellness-tea consultations match individual health goals to specific blends, drawing on Singal's background in yoga, ayurveda, and functional nutrition.
