Welcome To

Spill The Tea in Mahone Bay

We’re Deane and Amy—two people brought together by a love of the East Coast and a shared desire to create something special.

Our Story

Our journey to becoming tea shop owners wasn’t exactly planned, but it led us right where we were meant to be. Deane grew up in Cape Breton, Amy in southern Ontario, and after years of living and working overseas, we found our way back to Nova Scotia in 2021. We fell in love with Mahone Bay’s charm and knew we wanted to put down roots here. When life threw an unexpected twist our way, we turned to something we had always loved—tea.

In 2024, we took over what was once The Tea Brewery and began a new chapter as Spill the Tea. Our goal? To breathe new life into this beloved tea shop while staying true to what made it special—offering the highest quality loose leaf teas, thoughtfully sourced and carefully blended. Whether you’re a longtime tea drinker or just beginning to explore, we’re here to help you find the perfect blend.

More than just a shop, Spill the Tea is a space where locals and visitors alike can slow down, savor something special, and connect over a shared love of tea. Every day, we’re inspired by the incredible people who walk through our doors, from familiar faces to travelers from all over the world.

We’re passionate about tea, community, and creating a welcoming space for all. We can’t wait to share that passion with you — one cup at a time.
