From its inception, The Lost Tea Room has been a labor of love involving Debbie's entire family. Her daughters Natalie, Jennifer, Meredith, and Emma Grace, son Reid, daughter-in-law Victoria, sons in law Derek, Micah and Josh, and supportive husband Peter have each played integral roles in bringing this dream to life. Alongside them, Debbie's sisters Lisa and Deanne, brother-in-law Trey, and a circle of close friends and neighbors have contributed their talents, making The Lost Tea Room a true community effort.

At the heart of The Lost Tea Room are core values that shape every interaction and experience. Debbie and her team are committed to sourcing local and seasonal ingredients whenever possible, ensuring that each bite and sip reflects the flavors of the region.
