Imaginary Tea

Ownership

Karl Norland, the owner of Norland Landscape, created Imaginary Tea in April 2023, demonstrating independent single-owner operation by a local resident.

Local Sourcing

The store features local art and jewelry and local music and art from local artists and artisans, but also carries tea from around the world and tea packets from Art of Tea, indicating a mixed sourcing model.

Community Involvement

The studio hosts regular events including meditations and mocktails on Thursdays, Friday Night Jams and transcendental Sundays that invite local artists and musicians, and Imaginary Tea hosts a Butterfly Art-Is-Fact exhibit to raise funds for the Waunakee Wings project.

Local Workforce

The owner is described as friendly and welcoming, and reviewers note he is passionate about what he is doing, with positive community feedback about the business atmosphere.

Revenue Retention

As an independent local owner operating a small specialty shop with local art sales and community events, most revenue appears to stay local, though some sourcing from national suppliers suggests some revenue leakage.
