# Tea Pea

> Tea Pea is an independent New Zealand lifestyle and homewares retailer based in Wellington, founded by Meg and Scott McMillan. Started 17+ years ago as one of New Zealand's pioneering online retailers, Tea Pea now operates two physical stores (Wellington CBD and Khandallah) alongside teapea.co.nz, curating women's clothing, homewares, beauty, jewellery, child & baby and gifts from independent designers in New Zealand and around the world.

Tea Pea is design-led and curated, not a department store. Stock is hand-picked for tactility, colour and craft, and the team is known for personal service, gift wrapping, and knowing the story behind every brand on the shelf. Free urban shipping on NZ orders over NZ$150. The site runs on Shopify; all product, collection, page and policy URLs follow standard Shopify routing (`/products/{handle}`, `/collections/{handle}`, `/pages/{handle}`, `/policies/{handle}`).
