The Beginning

Isaac Reed started his journey while in college. As an opera performance major, he sought to find herbal teas that could help alleviate laryngitis. He experimented with different tea blends and came up with the Arius: a blend of blackberry leaf, orange, and vanilla.

Isaac first began his business by setting up at markets and selling his products online. Aside from Arius & Phos, he manages the Witches Market and Hamilton Market to help support small business owners. His goal is to help people heal their spirits while incorporating his experience and education.

The Loose-Leaf Tea Wall

Arius and Phos has over 100 types of dry herbs as well as 25 custom tea blends to choose from. Customers can purchase tea by the bag, loose-leaf, or even by the cup if they're craving a hot cup of tea while browsing the shop.

Customers can sign up for the Arius & Phos Potion Perks, a tea reward program where you can get one free birthday tea bag and one free tea with your sixth tea purchased. Stop in the shop to learn more about how to sign up for this rewards program!

Handcrafted Products

In addition to tea, Arius & Phos carries a wide selection of handcrafted products made by Isaac himself. These products include lotion, herbs, soaps, and candles!
