Tea Largo Beverage Company opened October 2007, introducing the majority of Lakeland to boba, matcha, mate, and true premium tea with our own super casual, old-Florida twist. It’s more than mango and coconut flavored iced teas! It’s about traveling the world by trying Japan’s ceremonial tea in a creamy colada shake, or adding Vietnam’s tapioca boba pearls in South Africa’s rooibos over ice. Our little tea shop blossomed.

In 2014, Tea Largo was ready for a new, fresh beginning. Kristin searched for a perfect place for little Tea Largo to continue to grow. Downtown?  Dixieland?  No. We like the South. Our plaza can hold PicassoZ studios with charm, convenience, and is one of the few where you can pull up to the front door!

Kristin began an ambitious permanent mosaic installation in its floor, feeling like she would never leave. Yes, the floor was mosaic’ed with painted tiles done 9 years prior by art students for the opening of the Lakeside studio. Custom clay pieces of fish and other underwater creatures were removed from PicassoZ much talked about Lakeside bathroom, and installed in Tea Largo’s new floor. Employees even painted a tile piece to be represented in the floor as well.

With the creative energy of PicassoZ pottery painting and mosaics, Tea Largo is truly a one of a kind destination in Central Florida. We’ve tried to create an Instagram lovers dream and a yelp users paradise. Enjoy!
