KimBees Southern Gourmet Traditions, Greensboro

KimBees Southern Gourmet Traditions is a specialty shop and gourmet beverage company nestled in downtown Greensboro, offering a refined take on Southern hospitality. Founded in 2008 by Kimberly Brown, KimBees began as a passion project and has grown into an award-winning brand known for its upscale bottled sweet green teas, gourmet foods, and curated teas sourced from around the world.

At the heart of KimBees are its signature teas-handcrafted sweet green teas available in elegant 16oz and 750ml bottles, with standout flavors like Almond, Lemon-Raspberry, Peach-Mango, and unsweetened varieties. The company proudly sources local honey from North Carolina beehives and partners with women in Sri Lanka to hand-pick tea leaves, ensuring both quality and global empowerment. A portion of each hot tea sale supports these women directly.

In addition to its tea offerings, KimBees delights customers with savory and sweet gourmet food, including fluffy cheese soufflés, chicken and turkey sandwiches, smoothies, muffins, and the much-loved Juanita’s Croissants-baked from a treasured family recipe. Desserts like fresh pound cake and sundaes round out the menu. The shop also features loose-leaf teas, boxed teas, wine smoothies, and gourmet coffees.

Operating both online and in-store, KimBees provides a boutique experience with a mission to make “simple luxury” accessible to everyone. With accolades from the World Tea Expo and a growing presence in hotels and retail outlets, KimBees continues to infuse every sip and bite with Southern charm and global care.
