Alyssa Hardy of Flying Saucer Tea Station

When a tea shop she loved changed hands, Alyssa began to consider starting a tea business of her own in Sidney, NY. After much research, sampling, and planning, it became a reality - in 2021 she started Flying Saucer Tea Station.

Her goal has always been to offer delicious, high-quality, and affordable teas to the community. The selection has grown to over 30 flavors.

Alyssa enjoys the ritual of a good cup of tea to start and end her day. Plus she always loves to share. To her, offering someone a cup of tea is a simple but meaningful way to show them they matter to you.

We love Flying Saucer Tea Station’s nod to interplanetary space travel and teas named after distant worlds from SiFi favorites like Arrakan Spice.

Save the date! Alyssa will be leading a tea-tasting workshop at The Gatehouse on April 13!

During the workshop, she will share insights into the brewing process and the nuances of flavor profiles. With each sip, you’ll discover a new dimension of tea appreciation.

Come by The Gatehouse today to try Alyssa’s tasty blends! We have herbal favorites like Hibiscus Blaster to delicious black and green teas. Whether you’re sipping for relaxation, health benefits, or the simple pleasure of tea, Alyssa’s blends always make a perfect cup.
