About me
An endlessly curious person who grew up in a small Iowa town, Kyle has music degrees from several renowned music schools. After stints teaching college music and arts and humanities, managing international marketing support for a company, Kyle and his partner Phil bought a coffee shop. They added tea to the product line and renamed the business The Cultured Cup. Kyle’s fascination with world culture and social rituals led him to tea. Kyle has given numerous World Tea Talks, a TEDxSMU tea talk, and in 2019, The Cultured Cup was named the best tea business in the U.S. at World Tea Awards. In 2023, The Cultured Cup celebrates 28 years in business.
